What does this mean?Highlights
Quality
5 hdd 8tb is an outstanding hdd for mass storage.
Along with a few other enterprise drives that i've bought over the years, they all continue to work to this day.
Short of building a raid5, i just want to feel secure in knowing that the data is on a quality hard disk drive.
Only had the product for about a week but all seems good so far.
Price
One quick side note, as of today (2/17/2016), the price on this 8tb disk, has been volatile.
I've seen them go from just over $400, to over $550.
If you're looking to save money, keep your eyes open for the apparently brief moments when the drive is less expensive.
Competitiveness
The enterprise class drives have typically cost twice that of seagate's own desktop drives but they're worth it for me.
I ran a repair utility that seems to have cleared the issue but my confidence is not the same with that other class of hdd.
