    Great HDD for massive historical backups from PC with limited disk storage. The only issue identified is the noise made by the unit when operating.

    This is the first new drive failure I have ever experienced. I added this drive to my NAS and prepped it for data. Started getting errors ~ 5 hours after the prep completed. I pulled the drive & brought it back to the Store for an Exchange. 1 month later & everything is good now. My drives are a 50/50 split between Western Digital & Seagate.

    Excellent hard drive for Chia farming. Bigger drive means higher efficiency since they all use about the same power and can store plots on 18TB.
