    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.

    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.

    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.

    I've had it for several months now and it has been very reliable. I use it to store videos, photos and music files. I just bought another one as backup.

    I just got a damaged one today! I put it into case, it made a mechanical noise of “click, click….”. and the computer couldn’t identify this drive. I returned it immediately. Yes, I ordered by delivery, I will not dare to ask for delivery in future.

    Wonderful drive, plenty of room for photo, music, and video backups - two years going strong. I may treat myself to Red Pro or Black next for long term file storage and backups - the longer warranty period is a nice perk.
