1. RPM at 5400 = Lower power, great reading for large files(movies) 2. The lower power will make this HD pay for itself after full term. 3. Extended warranty = Built to last 4. 275gb partition after all said and done. 5. Quiet & Cool

One of largest drives on the market. Meant for 24/7 operation. Quiet. Works well in my NAS. No errors found on drive.

I ordered three of these drives so far and they have worked exceptionally well on my Synology NAS (ds1823xs+). While they are being accessed, they are certainly audible, but not noisy enough to cause a problem. I have already written around 15 TBs to each drive without any issues. Two of the drives are in a raid 1 configuration for redundancy. If I ever need more capacity, I wouldn't hesitate to order two more of these.

- lots of space for movies, TV series, and other files - still going strong after more than a year of ownership

This was a replacement for a DOA after purchasing several drives. Not Newegg fault. Seagate should QC better. Newegg got my replacement out same day I sent back, total return time was 2 business days. FAST AS HELL. Excellent service. And the drive works perfectly now with the others. And the price was excellent for the storage. Transfer speed is better than 200MB/S. 14.5 GB formatted space. Great value.

High capacity with very quiet operation. Sale price was great too!

Good performance for 7200 RPM drives Mostly silent operation Running 24/7 in RAID 1 without issues Good value at 350USD each (you may find a different price) CMR technology, 5-year warranty

Fast and reliable

Reliable Cost-effective only when on sale. Runs cool.

For use as a cloned backup. Nice 2TB capacity to match my SSD capacity Nice big 256MB cache. Very fast write speed. Very quiet.

20Tb capacity and on sale at a reasonable price. CMR thus suitable for virtually all workloads. Be aware the Exos drives have a higher TBW rating (data transferred per year) so in some applications this MAY matter. In mine it doesn't. Plenty of experience with this series in different capacities, thus far no complaints or issues.

OK, so its not the baddest, the Pro edition appears to have a higher warranty but otherwise the stats seem to be the same. This drive is the biggest and fastest consumer hard drive available on the market with 16TB of storage, 7200 RPM and 256MB of cache besting their competitors by a few TB. To put this into perspective, I have entire NAS units with 4-6 disks that don't have this much storage. Performance is incredible as you would expect, rivaling the fastest speeds you will find in a HDD. Once you exceed the limits of the cache, this drive does 218/220MB/s sequential read/writes which is about 10MB/s faster than the 10TB competitor Red drive I have from WD. Overall you can't go wrong with this much storage for long-term archival or NAS storage. I can now cut down my file servers shorter term storage with this single drive and then back up to my 6x10TB NAS unit. Game changer in terms of total storage size, hopefully it lasts for a long time!!!!

Plugged it into my synology NAS and it works. The test of time will tell...

good service as always from NewEgg.

Works as intended Price was right Replaced an older failed drive Fast RAID rebuild with new drive
