The drive you linked to is $716, which if you can't do maths very well, is over TWICE the price of this 10TB drive. How is that a better…

I just checked on my older NAS where I move things when the "new" one is getting full - 70337 hours for 3 of the 4 WD Reds! The other one…

I've got 4 of them in my DS920+ and they're not "loud" whatsoever. Maybe in comparison to some other drives like you said, but to say…

Good price on great NAS drives. While not all time low, getting anything close to this price per GB in NAS drives is near impossible. I've…

Price plays a part in how long is "reasonable" for it to last, correct.

Yeah if Sony products didn't have the sony brand name they'd have gone out of business by now. Almost all of their products are…

If you’re gaming and don’t care about DLSS you’re doing it wrong. It gives you better performance at basically either no visual loss…

It’s game streaming so it has the downsides of that - latency, image quality, etc.

DLLS upscaling is amazing and should IMO be the “default” for gaming. It legitimately produces better results than native resolution…
