Quiet and fast. Shucked it into my PC 290/290MB/sec notably quieter seek and idle than my HGST 10TB and 12TB. Time will tell if it's reliable both my HGST drives are over 5 years old and still in operation. If shucking, obviously need to disable power pin 3 with adapter, kapton tape, etc. Also recommend using Hard Disk Sentinel or hdparm to disable APM otherwise heads will park themselves to death constantly loading\unloading.

The 28TB external expansion hard drive has quite a small footprint, easy to connect and has plenty of storage capacity at an affordable price.

I had this for about 3-4 months and I have used almost everyday. I backed up $1400 data DVDs without any glitch, under a Mac environment. Works flawlessly. Takes a little time to mount and it can be a little noisy sometimes, but that comes with the territory for such a big hdd. i remember the good old ST-225 and we have come a very long way. I gor this because it is the best for the money at thia time.

Bought two of these. One came with a faulty cable that made me think the hardrive was broke. But there's no way both were malfunctioning so I just used the working cable from the other one. Now both drives are working perfectly with all that space. Still giving 5 stars because the cable issue wasn't a big deal once I figured that was the problem.

Perfection for removing cloud storage

Instant win. I've been waiting to pull the plug on cloud storage and this was my solution for the storage. I already have a great computer that's older but runs fine. I plug this in, installed the drivers already on the device and registered the warranty. Easy, quite, and fast. Now I said goodbye to worrying about my storage needs and save ~$40/month on cloud storage.

This is one of the very best prices you'll find for an external HDD of this size. Delivery was next day, speed of the drive is excellent, and I have no complaints to date.

I purchased these when on sale and they were a deal for 28tb. I cant say anything about longevity or reliability but they do seem to work just fine.

Like the large capacity. Not 5 stars because it is extremely loud and it unmounts every time the computer goes into sleep mode. I need to restart the machine or unplug it. I dont think either solution is adequate.
