    Works well, replaced three smaller drives. However, 28tb is actually 25.4tb minus operating space, so usable space is more like 23 or 24 tb, still good.

    Does its job. But it makes whirrs and makes too much noise compared to a WD Easydrive that I also own. While it's whirring up, explorer also freezes until it finishes loading (even when I'm not trying to open the drive). It's cheaper than that model, so I guess that's the tradeoff

    My husband installed this last Friday for my mother. It turned on and all and then it just completely stopped working it’s making a weird sound and the computer won’t recognize the item.

    UPS informs me they have an empty box. I online chatted with BB and was told basically the same thing--we don't have the item you paid for. Attempting to get my account credited. Not nearly as easy as the buying experience. Wonder why?

    As expected. I will say though, unlike other drives that you can remove/shuck, this one voids your warranty. I guess I'll have to stick with WD for my future drives. Still giving it 5 stars just because the drive works intended, I got a killer deal, and experience was great.
