Pros: With 28-hour-a-day, 8-day-a-week usage across four media servers, we have no operational failures or shortcomings. We will use more of these.
Cons: The DAS (Direct Access System) limit means these won't reliably work for any future use than installed-in-computers or some NAS systems. These can't be used as USB standalone externals.
Overall Review: If a user has no future need to use these as a standalone external drive, then these can be perfect. Something else: their customer service is TOP NOTCH. One small shipping problem, solved quickly and - I hope - to the benefit of both parties.
