    Quite good product and huge storage. I have a few of them: all work fine for 2-3 years without any problems. But in hot weather I use some external fans to keep them cool.

    Shucked or not, these drives continue to be a great deal. Until SSDs become cheap and roomy, there will be a need for platters like these: big, reliable and server grade. Just shucked 2 to put in a WD My Cloud Ex2 Ultra RAID 1...
