Pros & Cons
Pros
The drive seems to run a little hot, so i recommend installing it in a well-ventilated space. The enslosure is metal, so it has a premium look and feel. Only complaint is, it is quite noisy!
The 'fantom drives' 14tb does what i purchased it to do. Seems to work with bell 6131 to make it a pvr. Plugged it in to a bell 6400. Rpm so fits the bill as a pvr.
Both the power and usb cables are included. Tb, i still have 30 games downloading - remember 'game pass' also has 'xbox 360' games in it, so some games are only 1gb or 7gb, or even under 1gb! Nes\super mario bros. Is on this hdd and still 9.
Cons
Right from the box its faulty. There is a warranty on the product but the buyer pays the shipping both ways. Very disappointing - stay away from this one imho.
