Does the job, but emulates 512B sectors
on October 28, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
Bought this to replace a failing disk in a RAIDZ1 pool after a complication with a web purchase. Joined it to the pool and resilvered before realizing that this disk presents a 512B sector size (presumably to avoid frightening Windows XP) instead of the newer 4kB alignment. Several methods to change this and start afresh failed, so I ended up replacing this Seagate with another locally-available brand (which also turned out to be cheaper!) and using it for plain exFAT elsewhere. While it works as a storage drive, I would only recommend this model if an older OS is required or if no alternatives are available.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
