Pros

The way hard drives work, and the way they're made, makes them all subject to a finite period of time between faults. As time passes and this (maybe) changes please anybody with more info write a comment to this review so we all can be better informed... Read More

Cons

Seagate and wd drives have catastrophic failure rates relative to even basic desktop hgst drives. By contrast, i still have western digital/hgst, hitachi and toshiba drives that were still going strong after 5yrs of continuous nas use and simply outli... Read More

Seagate no longer is a reputable drive manufacturer. The lower cost of seagate drives is no longer worth the risk and hassle of losing data.

These drives are too loud for use in a living room appliance. For now these loud hard drives go in the attic until i can get a seperate nas built that i can stick in a sound proof closet.

Box says was new drive, but drive was inoperable. I install it october 31, it fails on november 9. Expired one month ago.

I stream videos from this drive and sometimes the video chokes. Issue is not the usb case. I hope there will be a firmware update in the near future which fixes this issue.

Quality

Good speed and quality, i am using in a nas enclousure

Price is good and the quality is the best.

But quickly raid 1 is two or more drives with the exact same data so their is no rebuild or parity creation time when their is a failure.

There will always be failures in the reviews as there are with any product.

Shipping

If you can use raid 1 or raid 10 it is fast and much more bullet proof than raid 5 and even 6 which at least has two drive redundancy.

Competitiveness

I have purchased a total of 4 of these for a synology 1515+ nas unit.

From reading around 4tb seems to be more reliable than 3tb ones industry wide.

Please do yourself and your data a favor.

I'm using them in 5 bay qnap nas and they are a little noisy but i think it just the nas fan struggling to keep these beasts cool.
