I’ve been a long time fan of Western Digital hard drives and have never really had any luck with seagate drives. I ordered 4 of these to replace my 8 year old Western digital 4TB NAS drives to expand my exploding digital footprint. They are still running in perfect working order. I must commend amazon on the packaging and delivery. I was a bit concerned after reading some older reviews. As you can see from the pictures, they were securely packaged up well.
The drives themselves have passed extensive read/write tests without so much as a hiccup. One thing to note however, is that this hard drive tends to be a little nosier. More than likely due to additional platters compared to the 4TB variant. Also important to clarify that this review is for the CMR version.
