  • Use these beasts for my personal 3D animation mini-render farm
Capacity: 18TB
These robust, high speed, "24-hour video recording" 18TB HD's make for a terrific solution for churning out monster-sized file renderings from 3D software (Maya, Houdini, etc). The things are absolute beasts, and their resilience and beefiness is exactly why I use them for my "small" personal render farm (one 2-disc 36TB RAID-0 for smaller renders, and a 5-disc 90TB RAID-0 tower for bigger renders) in my home office. Sure, I could have gone for the "Black" version that a lot of gamers prefer (if they are using SATA instead of SSD), but these drives are larger capacity with the same speed, and built to handle even more stress. Should last me several years, no problem, but I will collect a couple more to keep on hand in case (or when) any of the originals fail...Eventually, yes, I'll likely go all-SSD in the future, but not until they are at the same price-point, with the same-or-greater TB size, and equally "indestructible". Brilliant slabs of hardware. ... show more

  • Won't work
Capacity: 22TB
I set up the hard drive and installed and initialized my DVR system. I thought everything was ok. However, I noticed that after every 15 minutes, the entire camera system and the DVR would shut down and restart. After going into the audit logs, I could see that it keeps giving an error and can't actually write anything on the drive so the DVR trys to re-initialize and then restart when it still doesn't work it does the same thing over and over. I tried reformatting it re initializing nothing seems to work so I am out 540 bucks and have 0mb of footage recorded so ticked! ... show more

  • Best bang for your buck!
Capacity: 22TB
These are the best bang for your buck for large surveillance camera systems! Out of 15 that I’ve bought in the past year I’ve only had one that was doa and Amazon quickly sent a replacement. I’ve yet to have issues with any of them which is surprising giving that many of them live in buildings that are pretty much sheds without any climate control or even ventilation! ... show more
