    "This external hard drive is very nice and there's plenty of space to make sure that you backup all of your photos/videos/documents!...If shucking, obviously need to disable power pin 3 with adapter, kapton tape, etc. Also recommend using Hard Disk Sentinel or hdparm to disable APM otherwise heads will park themselves to death constantly loading\unloading."

    "I’m a content creator hoarding 8 K footage, and this behemoth finally stopped my “scratch‑disk shuffle.” Large‑file copies average 220 MB/s sustained over USB 3.0; a full 4 TB project dump finished overnight with bandwidth to spare. ...Great price for Ginormous Disk...I have not done what would be a very lengthy deep surface scan of the disk, and I do note the absence of ports for other USB devices, which other external hard disk 'hubs' often have."
