Elbow room. Writing 8+ tb took hours, not days. Finally, everything on ONE drive again. As opposed to scattered across a fistful of 4tb. Does NOT require special power plug. The only sound I hear is dull thumping when the head thrashes. Stays cool writing for hours.


So far the drive seem to be functioning well, ask again in 6 monthd



Their customer service is amazing. Before they even shipped the drive, I had a confirmation email making sure I wanted a SAS drive (which I didnt, my bad!). Unfortunately, my reply didn't make it before it shipped, but my RMA and refund were done immediately, no questions or issues.

-Quiet When In Use -Just As Fast If Not Faster Then A WD Black HDD (167 MB/Sec Disk Transfer For A WD Gold Drive According To Crystal Disk Mark A WD Black Only Gets 158 MB/Sec Transfer Speed On The Same Computer) -More Reliable Then The Recent Model WD Black HDD And A Lot More Reliable Then A S**Ga** HDD.
