18tb of storage is great


I've been running a pair of these 24/7 in RAID 1 with a SANS DIGITAL TR4UTBPN RAID enclosure for close to two years now with zero problems. The enclosure is on top of my desk ~2 feet away and I can barely hear them.



Got this computer up and running with this hard drive - got it for another computer and than the hard drive crashed on this one ( IT WAS A mediamax ) just quit !!

Preforms as expected.

Packaged well. Works like a charm. SMART data looks great. Suggests this is a brand new drive.

It replaced a failing drive that becoming slow at loading... now I'm back to full speed again and with a bigger cache. Good deal.

I needed a bigger hard drive for my back up. It works great. For the price it was a good investment.

got my product really fast

Write speeds are pretty decent, but bottom out occasionally (0B/s, even with large files). However, this wasn't exactly unexpected. Read performance is fantastic and outperforms both Seagate NAS and WD Red 4TB drives. The read speed isn't exactly stable, but the minimum was around 120MB/s.

Pros: - Massive 6 TB capacity with server type reliability - 128 MB cache, about double than most high capacity hard drives out there - 1.4 Million hrs - mean time to failure (MTBF), this should serve you with plenty of spare time, works out to 142 years which should last a few generations. I guess only time will tell how reliable the drive really is. - This is a high workload drive designed for servers, if you looking for a high capacity drive for storing non critical files etc get a cheaper regular drive if you're on a tight budget. -I got 208MB/s read speeds on average of 5 runs with ATTO drive benchmark tool, very impressive for a mechanical drive !! - SATA III 6GB/s controller compatible to allow maximum transfer speeds - Five year warranty - Very low noise, could not hear any noise over some of my other high capacity drives - Comes with all the security protection features you’d expect from a high end enterprise drive

This is such a quiet drive 5 cameras record 24/7 and it doesn't bat an eye


Doing LLM training and needed to use a 35TB training file and 3TB validation file. Used 3 of these drives to create a RAID 0 drive with approx 54TB capacity. (this is on Ubuntu and formatted with XFS file system since usual EXT4 tops out at about 16TB file size.) Works great and much faster than a single drive would be due to the striping of RAID 0.

- designed for surveillance and can work 24/7
