" ... The Iron Wolf is easily the best data storage drive I have ever had the pleasure to own! ... Use a fast SSD or Firecuda hybrid drive for the main OS and programs/games, and these fantastic monsters for bulk storage, and you will be a very happy PC owner for many years. ... "
" ... tested well, we use these as backup drives for our servers. ... This is good for large files and backing up. ... This isn't a fault of this drive, this drive is exceptionally fast for a low-power 5500-5900 rpm drive. ... The 7200 rpm pro is just better suited for random access required for lots of smaller files or high numbers of users. ... "
" ... Good price for NAS rated drive. ... "
" ... For home users and home power users looking for a great NAS drive, I still recommend this, I have 3 of these and none have had any problems thus far with over a year of service so far. ... "
" ... After replacing all 4 drives, I expanded the RAID array to completely use the new drives. ... "
" ... Good quiet and reliable hdd. ... "
