    Snag these when they go on sale - your best $/GB value in storage servers. Search YouTube to "shuck WD" and you see it's easy and gets you good storage capacity at a great price for data hoarders :)

    I purchased one last year and thought 14Tb is large enough to merge all my small hard drives into one place. In my speed test, it is par to WD blue and Hitachi 7k2 rpm HDD. It is quite, but I dont know about the heat. I ddint use temp software to track it.

    Can you imagine how much data can be stored in this HDD Although it's portable, I would recommend more as a backup drive since there is external power required; which makes the portable factor less blurry ; Value for money

    Currently using this for my Plex Server and it fulfills its role nicely. Purchased this during BF when it was $199.99 which was a fantastic price at the time. Does what I need it to, quiet operation, no issues so far. Highly recommended.

    Great value when you catch them on sale. I, like probably many of you out there, am shucking these drives. They work fine in a QNAP nas with no fiddling. Speed is good enough to saturate my gigabit lan, which isn't saying much, but these drives aren't for those with a need for speed.
