Pros: Fast backup speeds initially – starts at 180 MB/s then eventually when filling drive drops to 110 MB/S Drives Quiet Stay Cool White Label Helium Drives USB 3 Cons: 5400 RPM drives Overall Review: White label Helium Drives at 5400 RPM. PERFECT for backup running about 170 MB/s. I used to have Seagate External hard drives but when they went to 8TB, their reliability and speed went down. Switched over to these and never looked back. Bought several 8TB and 10TB versions for server backup…

Pros: Large, inexpensive, does not use WD proprietary hardware encryption (like the My Book series), passed initial diagnostics with flying colors, operating fine (but I’ve only had it for a couple of weeks so far). Cons: None. Overall Review: When I get a new drive, internal or external, the first thing I do is a complete set of diagnostics, including a surface test for bad sectors (this takes a LONG time on a 10TB drive, but I do it anyway). This drive had no issues whatsoever, including…

Pros: It seems to function fairly well for short runs before it has a chance to heat up. It would make a good space heater for a cold room. It’s nice looking and would make a nice paperweight. Cons: I made the mistake of buying this when it was on sale for what seemed a very good price, and because the Newegg reviews were very positive. What I didn’t know was that originally this extermal drive was sold with a very nice helium filled hard drive inside the case that ran very cool and quiet,…

Pros: Low cost storageSimple: no data encryptionFast enough for me Cons: With no built-in fan, it runs warm Overall Review: Bought two 10 gig on sale to build a poor man’s RAID1. I’m a recording engineer and I need to backup my WAV files. (You’d be surprised how often I get the “do you still have that recording you made for me 4 years ago” call) I didn’t want any hardware encryption ala the My Book Duo and its associated horror stories, just backup. Zip tied two of these together, and use…

Pros: Worked out of the box Cons: Did not last two years You may or may not be able to obtain warranty service. Overall Review: It worked fine, I only used it twice for two total system backups. The rest of the time it sat on a shelf unplugged waiting to be used for a third time. I use a 5TB drive for incremental backups. When powered on system did not recognize it. I RMA’d it only to have WD say the drive had been TAMPERED with, absolutely no other explanation given. I was also sent the…

Pros: – Whatever positive marks I would like to give to this product were completely botched by observing the temperature rising. Cons: – Heat, heat, heat. I am in a well ventilated room and have the drive comfortably atop my desk, out in the open air. After doing a scan for any problems the drive might have (sectors, etc.) I encountered no problems. Then I took note of the temperature: It had risen to around 50C+. (You can note this from the screenshot I submitted) At first, my thoughts…
