My old 1-2 tb drivers were full needed more storage. This drive is solid, decent write and read speed and really quiet too.

Overall does what it needs to do. I have been running this Drive since I opened it June 8th 2023, today is July 6th, so almost a full month. Its been on running since the day I got it. Drive has about 584.6gb of space left after I moved over 2 4tb Drives to it. I have not had any issues, running an EXT4 filesystem on it, mostly just for Plex, Music and Media/Editing. All my other drives are Western Digital, but iRonWolf has definitely wanting me to give them another try in the future. I got it because it was Cost to TB made more sense. Hopefully the Length and quality of the drive holds up. I back up regularly but would like to clean out some of my older drives, to add new content and media to my library. Works quick enough FOR ME for editing and managing files. My Original Transfer from my 4tb drives did take quite a while not entirely sure of the speeds, but just set it and forget it till I hear the Door Bell on it being done. I would definitely consider getting another one in the future, and would recommend. Price per TB but I tend to stick to NAS Drives as my computer running almost all day everyday. One thing I believe WD does better is the Packaging of their drives. WD Packaging seems way better than Seagate. I keep the boxes for storage as I like to keep them labeled and organized if I need to find something later in Life. Happy Data Hoarding
