QuestionI have a Dell XPS8930 desktop that says it takes 3.5 in SATA Hard drives. Will this work in it?
Asked 4 years ago by JimInHouston.
- Answer It will work perfectly fine, you don't need a NAS hard drive and can save money with a standard 8TB hard drive. The NAS hard drive is the same but designed to run 24x7 with alot of activity happening with it. Definitely more durable than a standard drive.

QuestionOne of the reviews discusses a clicking noise- is that normal? What causes that?
Asked 4 years ago by Joe.
- Answer Clicking noise means the drive is faulty or dying so back up your data while you can. Check with the manufacturer for warranty replacement.
