Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Highlights

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Quality


Primarily, i needed the storage capacity, but i'm also pleased with the speed improvement.


My error for thinking they were included with the drive.


I know that other manufacturers have high reliability units, this is just my experience with this brand and product line.

Price


Its exactly what i ordered for a great price.

Packaging/appearance


I did have to replace the hard drive once which i blame the re-seller for not beefing up the internal packaging for shipment.


The speed is about double of the 1tb, probably due to double the cache (64vs128).

Competitiveness


Com offers a 5year warranty of the product purchased though them, so it's a no brainer for me.


I bought two of these 4tb drives to expand my security camera dvr system.


I however did not hear anything out of the ordinary when compared to my older 1-tb drives.

    It lasted less than a day and went dead


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Interestingly enough when the drive died it emitted a soft faint steady beeping tone much like a typical bios error code beeps on a motherboard when something is missing like ram video card or keyboard etc


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It also was cold to the touch since the platters no longer spun
