Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought 2, but one of two was dead on arrival. The dead one sounds like monster. I have to wait couple of weeks for a change. And finally i got "REFURBISHED" one. Yeah.. It was not a good deal at all. I think i got scammed
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

When connecting the Drive, it reads only 14.5 TB, So where the 1.5 TB missing. This is not right.

Hello,

We are sorry for the inconvenience caused to you. Please be informed that systems will use both decimal and binary to measure the size. A drive's size is measured by using the total number of bytes that can be used on the drive. Please refer to the following below link to know more about the Drive is Smaller than the Drive Label:

"Available Capacity of the Drive is Smaller than the Drive Label":
