What customers say
Consumers generally viewed this drive as an excellent value for high capacity archival storage. Its 2TB size offered significant space at a competitive price point, appealing strongly to budget conscious builders. The primary concern, however, revolved around long term reliability. Many users reported issues related to the drive's internal power saving features, leading to questions about its longevity, especially when used in demanding or primary system roles. It excels as a secondary storage solution.
