Highlights

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

Quality

The drive is very quiet and responsive and i really like the storage capacity.

Ran macrorit disk scanner and had no bad sectors.

I like the five-year warranty on the red pro drives, so i’ve been buying lots of them for the past decade or so.

I believe these are not helium filled, so they should last longer than the higher-capacity drives that are.

Price

There has been some odd price fluctuation with these, with them starting out below $300 each, and rising sharply through the year.

Shipping

Unfortunate but i blame delivery not the manufacturing.

Competitiveness

The cmr drives perform better than the (deceptively mislabeled) smr drives they replaced.

I found this was the same price as the 8 tb version.
