I’ve got a 16TB Iron Wolf Pro (which was listed as an Exos on Amazon but that’s another issue). And apart from the noise, which is to be expected as higher capacity is intended for servers so can’t blame them too much for that, and so far it’s doing ok. This 3TB White Label Barracuda is the only drive I’ve had die in 20 years. I still think I’ve got some old IDE Maxxtor drives which still work.
I transferred some data from one PC (Nvme SSD) to another PC over the internet last night which was a 4TB Barracuda drive and managed to get sustained speeds of 100mbit/s. Made short work of I think about 50GB of data.
Would’ve killed for those speeds in the Limewire days 😂
