    This is a huge hard disk & it was easy to shuck to install in a new NAS drive. It was also a bargain at the pre-Christmas price.

    Shuck the drive for your media RAID

    Decent enough for an external drive. Has not failed - yet. USB3 interface is noticably slow. You're better off shucking the drive and using it in a RAID as this device costs less than the bare drive in it.

    When I need large, mechanical storage I've stuck with WD drives for years and have not been let down like with other brands. These drives are no exception. They run fast, reasonably cool and out of the box zero bad sectors. (For large drives I recommend full smart sector scans before using). They have the equivalent of Reds inside which typically last. Catch them on sale and they're a great choice.

    I bought this drive to compile data I had on some older drives. It still has a lot of room to spare. Data goes on it at a very fast rate. Can't wait to get bigger drive when it becomes available.
