3 years ago.

the good: very good read speeds and no SMR the less good: drive when idel for a long time ' parks the read heads, while this is not noisy as other drives (looking at you seagate), when you access the drive, the drive make a "clcnk" sound for 2 sec and the drive is not responding. while not a deal breaker for me and it is made to prolong the drive life, if you frequently use the drive for file intensive tasks it could be annoying.
