Pros & Cons
Pros
All 4 drives initialized properly and have been running for the better part of a week now with no issues other than being a bit noisy. These are data center drives so that is to be expected.
Highlights
Quality
I am happy with their value and performance so far
Update i increased the rating because i decided to go with the drive as is
Packaging/appearance
The packaging was great as well as the speed of delivery
Competitiveness
So far it is working well with my synology nas
Ordered 4 of the 16tb aresenal drives to replace smaller seagate drives in a qnap ts451 that was getting a bit cramped
