Using in Synology DS212j - Raid 1

These have had mixed reviews on the Internet, Many DOA, but these were used with some hours on them. So far I have had them over a month and they seem to be working well in a Raid 1 environment. Also they hibernate in the Synology NAS until needed. You can take a little more risk with Raid 1, as if a Hard Drive dies you should have time to get another one installed and rebuilt in a few days. Still I have an external USB drive that automatically makes a full folder backup every 2 days. All units are on a UPS and I have never had an issue with Synology products, or a HD failure, in the last 8 years.Read full review

Works great for modded Xbox

Drive works great for my modded Xbox. Just split the drive partitions equally. You get 2.2 TB of usable space, enough for 800 xbox games and CoinOps 8.

Windows, Makes a good D: apps drive and/or a good storage HDD

May 2017 PC Windows, To use the complete 2.8 TB, this drive has to be changed to GPT and formatted as Basic. Its a good D: drive for PC games, A/V files and miscellaneous backups

If you want to boot Windows from it, you may encounter some bootable issues, even if you set-up it as MBR, as it will only read 2TB and the remaining 700GB are inaccessible/unusable. It may not even boot correctly even with a sector by sector cloning, so that's just a heads up.

PS4 Nyko Data Bank <3

I've been using this hard drive for about a month now. It's a great product! I am using the hard drive for my Playstation 4 and I am able to save all my digital games on my hard drive! All the free Playstation Plus games fit on the hard drive. Great product. Read full review

So far so good

I bought 2 of these drives to add to a new Seagate ST3000DM001 so I could make a storage pool for my new Skylake build. Running an Asrock Z170 Exteme 7 with an i7 6700 chip and will be using the system for my Plex server and for photoshop and video editing.

I setup the storage pool with parity and am very pleased with my speed...the write speed runs a solid 45MB/s and the read speeds run a consistent 380 MB/s. Most of the reviews on a Parity Pool Storage was predicitng 30/250 MB/s.

I have an 512gb ssd for messing with 4k, so the pool is just for the plex storage, photos (I have over 100,000 loaded onto it so far) and streaming 4k. fyi. Out of the 9tb's between 3 drives, I ended up with 5.4tb available using Parity...my understanding is that when I add another 3tb drive, I will just lose around 300mb overhead and would put me up to around 8tb.
Very pleased with my setup right now..

Good product; would buy again

The item performed to my expectations, it is as fast as advertised and had the amount of space that was advertised as well. No false advertisement.

Fantastic

Drive arrived with copious amounts of protection and great little detail with flagging the package tape for easy access. Highly recommend. Wish I took a photo.

So much space

Received this in the mail and was really excited to get this installed. The HDD came just by itself, no cables or screws. Luckily I had some left over from motherboard purchase. The HDD slid in smoothly to one of my 3.5 inch slots in my case and I was able to mount with no issue. When I formatted the drive with windows, I did notice some clicking noise, something I'm not used to with my SSDs. It was very quiet though and can barely be heard. I'm satisfied with the product and would buy another!Read full review
