Quartermaster Right, now pay attention 007! Jun 3, 2020 58 36 18 Mar 2, 2021 #5 I have ~40 of the 3.84TB variant spread across multiple boxes in either RAID6 or RAID1 configurations. Don't expect thrilling performance - but they're cheap, low-ish power, and for the intended use case of a HDD replacement (5200) they're fantastic.
