    Can you use this in a desktop instead of a NAS, what's the drawback other than the loud noise it makes?

    • Nothing, I got it as a data drive (still got other ssd/m.2 for os and a faster OneDrive/app data drive. Can be slight lag on spin up start of the day or depending on indexing settings but totally fine I reckon.

      Cheers op paid 250$ less than a year ago ;).

    • You can. Some might say because it's a NAS drive you should set it to never shut down so limit wear. But I think it would be okay. I have mine set to spin down

    • The only downside would be the noise. It is significantly louder than barracuda

      • It also runs significantly hotter than the 10, 18 and 20 TB drives by 5-8C.

        I have 2 8TB, and both are hotter than the larger drives in the same case with similar airflow over them.

  • I think the description isn't quite right.. The Pro isn't this price, just the regular model?

      Yeah I think it's just the regular model and not pro. Imo not worth at $27.5/tb.

    • Yes not a pro version, thanks Mod for the edit! Though still a good deal.

    • Whats the difference between pro and this ?

  • Difference between a NAS HDD and a NVR HDD ? Seems like they both will be on all the time and writing constantly?

    • NVR ones are generally tuned for constant writing performance/reliability
      NAS is for random reads/writes

      Both can be slower rpm too for lower power/noise or higher rpm for speed

      NVR firmware is basically set to DROP errored bites and keep writing, since video is quite a resilient format. It's very important for a CCTV system to keep recording, and you'd prefer 3 frames of corruption, over 1 second of lost footage, due to CRC errors.

      NAS and desktop is fairly 1:1, with the exception that NAS drives can usually dynamically change their spin speed to target the lowest vibration possible, and are also tuned for a little less power saving (usually more obtuse 'on vs off' type APM states)

      For a desktop or server; So long as you use a checksumming COW filesystem, both are totally acceptable. You wouldn't want an NVR drive on an old format like NTFS, FAT or XFS though.

      For a NVR, so long as you're OK with losing "a second or two" of stream if something goes wrong its OK there too.

    I picked this up previously and it's pretty noisy.

    A constant scratching sound which I've heard is pretty common

  • Grrrrrrrr
