    nas level drive without the nas level price. Right now I'm using it as an external storage, but nice to know I can break it open and re-purpose it for a nas. Sale price was excellent.

    I bought this drive when it was on sale. Great storage capacity, although a little bit slow and noisy.

    Plenty of storage space and is actually rather quiet when its in operation.. Kind of a cheap plastic case for the drive though, it doesn't inspire a lot of confidence. But its easy to just plug in and let it do its job.

    When this goes on sale, it's a steal. I got it for $160 although it's been lower. Mine happened to have a WD red NAS drive inside with 256mb cache! Very happy w the performance.

    I can't speak for the quality of the USB enclosure since I shucked this drive the minute I got home with it, but the drive inside was a white label drive and works quite well in my NAS.
