    3 stars only for the noise. At 16TB it makes excessive noise, like a wood planer machine is working. I am forced to keep it loose inside the case on 4-5 layers of bubble wrap. It's not that it runs at 7200rpm because I have another 2TB drive at 7200rpm in a drawer case and it is completely silent. Even when I hold it in my hand, I can feel it vibrating like a mobile phone. It seems to be a design and manufacturing issue, not an isolated case.
    Everything else is fine. Temperatures up to 50 degrees in a case without extra fans. Transfer speed from HDD to HDD for 1 file, e.g. 2GB, is about 250MB/s. If you transfer many files totaling 2GB, then the speed drops dramatically, below 70MB/s.

    This review is about capacity: 12000 GB, cache size: 256 MB

    I have had it for about 8 months now. Quite good but it reaches high temperatures (50-55C) even though it is helium filled.

    Performance according to specifications. It is connected within an HP Z2 G9 workstation as a second disk after a 1 TB SSD.
    When it is operating, it makes a periodic clicking sound every few seconds.
    It has not presented any issues, but it has only been functioning for a few months.

    I have it for desktop backup and I had no problem. Buy it with closed eyes, especially at the price of 300E, it's a good offer.
