Pros: Still a good drive if you have the time and inclination to waste weeks testing them because the failure rate, right out of the box or within a dozen hours is HORRENDOUS.
Cons: Failure rate on 10 drives was 40%. That means 4 drives RMA'd. Weeks of testing. Worse, at 40% failures, I expect 1-2 of the RMA'd drives to fail. This will take weeks more because I can't trust the new drives to work if the RAID 5 fails! I have to test everything at 100% on my end...
Overall Review: As of today, I only have one of two NAS machines running. The second may still be weeks away due to these drive failures. I did order two of the same drives from a competitor because I can't wait through the entire RMA delay. They were sent with the same shipper as NewEgg but were packaged with soft foam, not hard styrofoam and paper like NewEgg. Those two drives were flawless. Maybe something, maybe not, but these drives have been a horrible waste of resources, especially time on testing and waiting for RMAs.
