There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
So a few weeks ago I started noticing performance glitches and log messages about recoverable disk errors, which I traced to the Seagate unit. My preference is to deal with soft errors before they become hard, so I investigated my options. The best solution that I could come up with was a Mobius two-bay enclosure, together with a pair of 4TB HGST Deskstar drives. So that's what I got.
Performance and reliability have been excellent. The noise is a little higher than the Seagate unit which it replaced, but it's within acceptable limits. The only issue I'm encountering is that sometimes (but not always, just to complicate things), when I reboot my iMac, the Mobius drives aren't mounted. This confuses iTunes and other software. The fix is easy - I just power cycle the enclosure, then restart the apps - but it's annoying. It also disrupts other operations, because when I set up the Firewire chain, I put the Mobius in the middle (between the iMac and the WD unit) rather than at the end. At some point I'll probably reconfigure it.
Update #1
I was able to test drive speed vs various other drives. This drive performs as expected. I did not test in a RAID configuration. (sorry about the formatting, the last two nos. in each row are Read/Write in MB/s), all tests with BlackMagic

Update #2; I just tested four of these drives in RAID5 mode on the 4-bay USB 3.0 Dyconn.... way better than expected 250 Mb/s Read, 241 Write. Woo Hoo! So, double the single drive mode.
Update #3 (April 2015): I bought a 5th HGST NAS, 4Tb! I needed a drive for another computer and decided to try a cheap SATA to USB adapter (Sabrent Flat Docking Station) , I gets virtually identical performance as above, 162 Mb/s Read, 160 Mb/s Write. Sweet! for <$200 I've got a nice external with a reliable drive. Perfect for Time Machine backups. AND, If I do loose a RAID5 drive, I've got a backup! :)
I may buy 2 more 6 Tb units and RAID 0 the in a 2-Drive dock (software RAID in OS X) to use for video editing. I should get 250 Mb/s that way.
On edit: The replacement drive arrived within two days! It functions perfecty!
The replacement drive that WD has released in place of it is a loud, crunchy sounding mess of a HDD that makes any chassis you put it in sound like a giant metal drum, and has a much higher failure rate. Leave it up to WD to ruin a company with a great record for releasing very well made, reliable mechanical drives. Shame on you, Western Digital. I think you bought HGST because their drives were leaving yours in the dust in terms of reliability. Snakes.

The return rate for these drives is lower than others at the time of this writing and I am banking that that information holds true. Time will tell.
Quite pleased with my purchase for now!!
