Fast, I get about 200mb/s alone and I’ve been able to set up in RAID5 and RAID10 configurations using Windows Storage Pools. The CMR has kept my data without any corruptions.

Got this for my TrueNAS Homelab. It's quiet and draws very little power as a 5400rpm drive. I plan to buy a second for redundancy soon

I spent an hour trying to figure out why I couldn't initialize the drive. Turns out, the drive is DOA. It was put into a box without any packing material. I was a little too optimistic. The lack of spin up noise should've been a sign.
I'll update this review once I get a replacement.
