Pros & Cons
Pros
Each drive was sealed in an anti-static bag, which was encased in high density foam. I'm always lairy ordering hard drives online, because far too often they either arrive loose in a jiffy bag, or rattling around in a larger box.
Highlights
Quality
No issues so far, works well with my asustor nas.
I bought two last year and they are now obsolete, so its either 22 tb capacity or 18 tb capacity.
After fitting the drive it is on the main was quite quiet and i needed to tranfer 12tb of inofrmation accross to the new drive ... Read More
They are quiet and very fast for hdds but they are built for nas (network-attached storage).
Price
Although these drives are expensive, they are very high-end tech, air-sealed in helium and not your everyday hdd's.
Shipping
Easy transaction and shipped by amazon the next day.
16tb drive arrived quickly just 12 hours after ordering.
Packaging/appearance
The drive was packaged really well in a box with polystyrene cut to fit the drive and well protected.
Item came as mentioned brand new pack and very well packed .
Competitiveness
Compared to that, big file (12-20 gb ) transfers to/from ssd seem a little quicker.
