    This was implemented as an active working drive at my place of work. For being an external, it is extremely fast, even across networks. There have been no issues, and has performed excellently.

    I bought this to use as a central NAS on my home network. This is primarily intended to be a backup device. I set it up on a local PC as a removeable drive. It is not Unfortunately it is not able to be viewed on my LG smart TV. I am sure it can be done, I just have not figured it out yet & there is very little documentation .

    This is a great little backup drive. You can setup the drive in different ways Raid0(16TB no fault) Raid1 (8TB with a spare 8TB as a backup) or JBOD (2 different 8TB drives)

    It works great as a RAID external drive. Do NOT buy this for use as a NAS. I am going to use my desktop as a file server.

    It works just fine. The setup process took a bit longer than I expected. It doesn't come with a booklet and you have to go online to follow the setup process. With the MAC it worked out, i just think the setup steps should be more clear.

  • A very slow drive

    A really slow drive compared to my 16TB WD Elements. Not just a little slow, really slow. My other drive is 4-5x faster with transfers. Another problem I've encountered is a Windows 10 update somehow killed the USB-C to A connection to this drive. Now it only works from C to C. The drive is unrecognizable on two computers unless I use that particular cable. Weird, but I'm glad it's not (yet) bricked.

    This unit was on clearance so I grabbed it and stripped the drives out to use them directly to avoid the hardware encryption forced by the unit itself. Can't report on the actual performance of the enclosure.
