Review: No noise, speed, or heat issues, still photography storage - One week review. Have additional GRaid drives with no problems over years which made me go to Drives. Decided I would add non raid drives to another system. Doing still photography about 1Tb+ per year and using LR and PS. Use for photo storage only. Purchased Thunderbolt for enterprise quality and daisy chain capability. Speed is adequate and can process from drive with "maybe" minimal lag - so far not enough to move a current process file to SSD internal which is option on my system. No noise issue and does not run too hot. Noise is less than my raid drives. Purchased a cheaper USB C same size Drive for direct clone backup of TB drive. This drive is less speed dependent and I connect to USB port saving my other TB port. Very pleased with system. Non TB same width and height but lengh less, nevertheless stacks well.
Review: Reliable. Don’t hesitate. Get one. - I was skeptical but I’m very pleased after a couple months. The thunderbolt is great. It did require an adapter and I opted for a 6’ cable which adds @ 100$ cost but I can now free up 2 USB ports with the included 2nd port on the hard drive. Because I have 2 thundebolt displays I can now reach the 5’ from my primary faster i7 cpu and the 2nd monitor attached to an i5 which won’t play 4K smoothly. I used the back of the displays 2nd USB port to accommodate that. The drive has performed flawlessly. I have an ssd drive on the hard drives 2nd thunderbolt/usb port. I was having odd random connectivity issue with my previous western digital drive. I have had zero issues with this drive. I wish it was as fast as an ssd but I never notice any issue unless the drive is resting and I see a spinning icon and a brief pause as it kicks in. Actually working with HD audio and graphics seems virtually as fast as an SSD once the drive is woke. Unless you are doing video work and have huge files think 2 of these would serve most folks better than the raid drive which I think only gets you 14 Tb for around the same price as 2 of these 14 Tb drives. The money is generally better put into more space vs the speed increase a raid might achieve. Raid drives have come a long way but are still notorious for failing. I add 2 Tb usb Ssd drives as I can afford for vsts and samples I want to be available immediately and try to keep general storage stuff on these drives so speed is less of an issue. Mine haven’t got noticeably hot. There’s is a slight click when it’s working. It’s not an issue unless you’re recording vocals. The drive would need to be moved away from the microphone.
