Pros: Silent than the Seagate Deskpro and pwr/usb interfaces seem to be a good quality now that the previous reviews on other lower TB models.

Cons: As far as for speed and sleep mode it just a little bit slower but expected due to this large volume to mount/register right away especially if you plug to USB 2.0 but no storage complaints here.

Overall Review: Still need to test the transfer write/read rates to see if it can handle running apps via USB.
