What I liked about it is it was very easy to install
HUGE - MASSIVE - RELIABLE
price point speed
- Fast transfer rates for HDD - Not excessively clicky - Consistent performance and good warrenty
Easy to set up. Fast transfers and a small footprint. I traditionally swap out my external drives about once a year. Each year they get bigger. This year I bought 2 5TB drives to replace my older pair of 2TB drives. (My old ones will remain an archive.) So far, I have only activated one, but it is working fine.
Shipping from the U.S to Cebu, Philippines took only 5 days. I commend Newegg for big improvement in their item delivery. Usually shipping to here will take 15-30 days to say the least. Also glad the item has it's 5-year warranty from Seagate aside from the standard warranty from Newegg. Registered the item on Seagate's website and it acknowledged the serial numbers on my 2 units as legit. Although actual warranty says it only has 4.5 years remaining even though my purchase was made just a week ago and received it just yesterday, Dec. 7, 2021. So far so good. Thanks Newegg!

Good product at a good price
Works off of USB with hirens. Macrium reflect saw it and took the image flawlessly. Super fast copy for 1TB.
For Synology NAS users, the Synology brand drives means easier adoption, less headaches and fewer notifications. The extra small pennies/gb price per GB over other enterprise drives with worth it. No need to worry about compatibility with many features of DSM 7.1
Western Digital performance and reliability has always been top notch. Solid performer.
7.4K anti-dust SATA to store anything you need
The product functions very well and the transfer speed is excellent. Very easy to change the hard drive if necessary.
Another great ASUS product easy to install and very fast. I cloned my internal 512 GB SSD to a newer one using this unit in 10 minutes. I then swapped it out with the older internal one and it is flawless need I say more. I am getting 380 MB/s to 410 MB/s when I copy from my internal SSD to this SSD unit using my Samsung 970 Evo Plus. A copy from my internal Seagate drive to the unit is around 200 MB/s give or take and very pleased. Awesome was on the way and awesome was delivered in two days from my order day thank you New-egg! Make sure you put the SSD in the notch near the top of the screw and not the bottom for people who say it is lose or does not closing properly I suggest you look again closer and do not try to force the door shut on your ssd as it fits perfectly fact. Unless you obtained a factory defect but check for the notch in the screw people.
Surprisingly fast writes and reads for a 5400 RPM drive, most likely due to the massive 128MB cache. I haven't had an issue with the 1TB drive so far. I've used it in external USB 3.1 cage for awhile, but it's now a dedicated backup storage drive connected via SATA. I've had 500MB files written to this drive from an SSD in a matter of seconds. I really hope this drive lasts awhile.
Plug and play or record. Working OK so far.
