    Good Plex HDD

    I have started my journey into having a plex server due to some movies/shows not available on the platforms I use. I picked it up in store and the install and use has been smooth so far a month in. Quiet and fast. Get the usual 100MB transfers. So far 20 movies , the office ATLA TLOK ,and GOT mostly in MKVs straight from the DVD and it still 5.5 gb left.

    Loud

    Decent speeds, a whole lot of storage but...you know that Simpsons joke where Bart says his wrist sounds like a cement mixer after all those years of writing on the chalkboard? Every time you write data on this thing it sounds like that.

    It’s a hard drive

    And it works. Easy install. It would be nice if they came with the cables necessary. It’d be nice to get two or one that has a spliced end so that I can find one that fits best. It’s not that cables alone are expensive, but that we pay so much for a basic HDD that it would be nice to get so,ething with it.

    Needed to be RMA'd

    Worked well but needed to be RMA'd after only a couple years of light use which is disappointing. WD at least cleared it for a replacement without fuss but they didn't send a new drive back, just a recertified one so I hope that it lasts...
