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!!!!

Performs fantastically as a backup vessel in raid one. Fast and Reliable

Synology drives are guaranteed compatible and recommended for Synology enclosures.

-Is a speedy drive -Hold 4tb -is indeed Sata

I purchased two of these (my NAS requires that they be installed in pairs). Seagate drives do not fail.

I'm getting an average of 147.5 MB/s read with a single drive, this is quite a bit faster than my old drive.This drive ruins quietly, and cool (~33 C) due to it's low power draw. The 128 MB cache will be helpful when opening multiple large files, like during camera raw image editing. Each file can be on the order of 15-30 MB.

Good price 12gb interface Works well so far in my Adaptec raid 5

I'm rating New Egg not the product as I've not yet used the product. New Egg is my go to place for my computer stuff. I previously wrote a bad review (can't find it to change it) but it was actually for a 3rd seller which actually had a good ending. As did this purchase. I recommend New Egg.

Pros- Longer Warranty Higher MTBF rating REALLY Fast-Manf. claims built for speed, and for once, this drive lives up to the claim.
