    Media Server Storage

    This little guy is being used for storing movies on a media server powered by a Raspberry Pi 4-B. I have had one blu ray and three DVDs playing simultaneously off the server all the while copying another DVD to the drive. While that attests to the awesomeness of the Pi, this drive obviously kept up with it without flinching. It didn’t even get warm to the touch. I haven’t had it long enough to speak to it’s longevity, but so far I’m very pleased.

    5 TB is definitely enough for daily use and data backup. WD is also a reliable company makes reliable products.

    I bought 2 of these to start. One for my son and one for myself. He has autism and likes ro access all his videos on his laptop. He loaded his fist one with movies and lost everything. The warranty covers the drive but not data retrieval. I ended up purchasing a 3rd as back up incase his failed again so I would have his 1000 videos saved if anything went wrong again. It took weeks for the warranty replacement to arrive and he was anxious without it so i had to go out and buy a 4th drive. (Over $400 into drives now) i dont know if he is bumping them around too much or what the couse is for failer. The 2nd and 3rd drive have now gone bad. Going to try a differnt brand and type after this mess. My backup drive is still working but it sets in a safe and is never jostled around till needed. Still waiting for replacement on the second drive and reply on the 3rd. Warranty honors replacement but one cant keep losing data. Wanted to give 2 star but gave an extra for customer service.
