76% liked its seamless compatibility with multiple systems, but 24% encountered compatibility issues
I found it easy to set up the drive using Windows Disk Management and it was ready to use in just a few minutes.
I was initially looking for space and not speed, but I'm glad I bought this NAS drive because it's much faster than my previous 8tb 5400 rpm drive. It's a massive difference compared to my previous drive.
I found it easy to initiate the drive using Windows Disk Management and it was ready to go in just a few minutes.
I advise covering the 3rd pin in the power Sata socket with tape or buying a molex to sata cable to resolve issues with the internal hard drive.
