Pros

These drives are much faster than my old wd green drives. They are louder than your standard 5400rpm deep storage desktop hdd.

    As long as you have duplicates of everything you should be able to recover


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The drives are still more expensive than id like but 7200rpm 8tb ironwolf drives should last several hundred thousand hours
