There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The sequential read/write speed is incredible. Around 230MB/s. That is unreal. The random access times are much worse than my Western Digital Caviar Black 2TB drive and pair of very very old Seagate 500GB drives in a RAID 0. I expected that, but it confirms that this is best for mass storage and not gaming.
There are a number of reviews complaining about reliability. I am hoping that is a vocal minority but checking the SMART data doesn't show any problems. Any drive can fail at any time though so if the data is that important do a RAID 1 or perhaps an external drive to protect against the rising ransomware threat.
I have a six years old ASUS P6T Deluxe MB with SATA II only. It was plugged as a second drive with the boot through a SSD with WIN 7 64bit OS and it was recognized at once. To initialize, as with any new drive, one should go: Control Panel / Administrative Tools / Computer Management / Disk Management. In my case it showed as Disk 01 (disk 0 was the SSD - but it will depend on each port you are plugged and how many drives you have plugged). I chose to create an GPT partition that I didn't know would create an system MBR partition of some 264 Mb to manage the allocation units on the drive, no problem there, but be aware of it.
About the marketing size of drives with more than 2Tb: Because one Byte is 8 bits and one KByte is 1024 bits (not 1000 bits).
Nevertheless, the drive market kinda "steal" from us those 24 bits per Kb, thus when you have advertised a drive as having 6Tb it actually shows on the explorer and alike as having less than that, for the market counts ALL the bits that are there, including those 24 bits per Kb, but the OS (and the all the software that are) consider it not. In fact the drive has six thousand trillion BITS that are less than 6Tb as the unit goes.
Thus with larger drives the difference grows accordingly and It is starting to let some people "mad" about it. I saw one review complaining about the 10Tb having only 9Tb. Perhaps it is time for the manufactures, at least with the larger than 2Tb drives, to star to market is with the actual system Kb and not the total bits.
All and all it is a GREAT drive and I recommend it. Lets hope the price will go down as the new year arrives.
Attached is a benchmark for added substance.

Anyway, I wanted to order the Pro 6T since I need more capacity.
So I placed my order in the morning with one day delivery service. I expected the delivery to be next day before 9pm.
Surprised! I received the hard disk in the same day afternoon.
I was so happy and installed the drive quickly. I was back on track in the evening.
Je peux pas dire pour l'instant la longévité du produit, il vient avec data reçue gratuitement.
