  I thought $20 a TB was a good price?

    samsal46 on 30/08/2021 - 12:12

    Not many around. Especially with 5 year warranty, trustworthy and good cache

    I thought CMR was better :/

      It is! Hence the exclamation mark!!
      Seagate's barracuda range is all(most) SMR and only goes to 8TB.

    • 

      Freezies on 30/08/2021 - 12:32

      That's the point they are making as it would be normal to assume these were SMR. They're also helium.

  Isn't this better? Helium filled:

    Some have had Ironwolf NAS too.

    USB 3 vs sata. I'd go with sata

      once you open the case, it becomes SATA

      i had opened mine seagate 10 tb backup plus, inside is CMR bara pro.
      per TB cost me only less than AUD$28

      ordered 2, both bara pro, returned one due to bad sector and health only 97%

      My 10tb that I shucked was a Ironwolf Pro.

      I think that's the 2 usual suspects in them

        Having had bad experience with HDDs before, if rather spend the extra pennies for a proper internal HDD like this one with 5 year warranty with 2 year data recovery

          @samsal46: Your backups make the 2 year data recovery completely worthless, so that's not really a selling point.

          Secondly, the drives in the USB cases are proper internal HDDs - and are often higher spec drives than this one (Ironwolf etc).

          Warranty period is significantly shorter, but they're also significantly cheaper…

  Tank evil on 30/08/2021 - 13:45

  How do these compare to the seagate iron wolf nas drives and iron wolf pros? I gather they are no where near the quality am I right?

    This one is highly reviewed for personal pc. Nas drives are loud and hot.
