This hard drive was a good solution for keeping my movies off of my Thunderbolt 3 drive and my internal ssd, and allocate that fast storage editing, and my os. This has 4tb of movies on it currently and my time machine back up and I’ve never noticed any playback issues like i noticed with my nas (mycloud ex2 ultra 10tb)
Absolutely easy to setup and configure. I have it shared across my network for backing up System Images and Data. It's a relief to be able to backup all of our PC's internally, and not have to worry about space.
I bought 2 of the 6TB external drives. So far so good. I have them hooked up to my USB 3.0 ports. I can get around 85-120MB/s writing speed. I also like the design of the drives.
The 6TB USB 3.0 Elements drive is used to store CD, SACD, and DAD rips and downloaded high-resolution DSD and PCM music files as program sources for the Windows 10 laptop computer that acts as a dedicated music server in a high-end audio system. Transfer speed and file stability are essential to high-quality, error-free music reproduction, and the Elements drive performs its function flawlessly.
Excellent performance. I have been using it as primary storage for videos and using it to edit those videos. It performs quite well for a task it was not designed to do.
