Quality

I highly recommend these externals for storage as the internal drives tend to be very high end and reliable drives.
The recordings were made and then edited so as to remove all the commercials.
I have to say this 10tb one makes the loudest noise when it is running for transferring files.
Price
10 tb for this price is amazing!
At $300 (at time of purchase) this 14tb external drive is amazing value when considered at a per tb cost of $21.
I bought one of these drives and found inside it had an iron wolf pro nas drive which is easily double the cost of what i paid ... Read More
Huge amount of storage for a reasonable price.
Shipping
I only bought this item from amazon as 1) free next day delivery and 2) it has lots of space to store all my music and 3) it was on sale
It arrived a day earlier than it was supposed to arrive.
I spent two days cleaning up my files and shipping them over to this drive that i hooked direct into my router.

Great hard drive for the price but there’s no power button to turn on and off so you either let it run or you have to unplug
