    FAST RELIABLE SMALL STURDY

    • Written by from VALENCIA

    AFTER 6 MONTHS OF USE, THIS HARD DRIVE WHITH ALMOST NO NOISE (YOU MAY HEAR JUST ITS VERY QUIET FAN UNIT) HAS PERFORMED EXCELLENT AS EXPECTED.
    IT WAS NOT AN EASY TASK TO READ DOZENS OF REVIEWS FROM DIFFERENT MANUFACTURERS DURING A FEW WEEKS.... ALL I CAN SAY NOW IS THAT AT THE END I'M GLAD WITH THE CHOICE I MADE. I DID NOT FEEL LIKE PAYING A LITTLE BIT EXTRA FOR THE THUNDERBOLT PORT UNITS AVAILABLE A FEW MONTHS AGO, AND THERE IS NO NEED TO DO THAT UNLESS YOU ARE INTO FILM MAKIN/EDITING BUSINESS. THIS UNIT IS SO FAST FOR PHOTOS AND MOVIES THAT I SEE NO NEED FOR A THUNDERBOLT PORT IN THE NEAR FUTURE. IF YOU NEED A RELIABLE PLACE TO STORE OFFICE DATA, FAMILY PHOTOS, FAMILY VIDEOS, MUSIC, FINANCIAL DATA THIS RAID MACHINE SHOULD DO A GREAT WORRY FREE JOB FOR YOU. I WILL BUY A SECOND UNIT FOR A HOME NETWORK IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
