Costco has them on-sale for $109. Thanks, Chris Link to comment
Chugiak Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 If you get one (or more) you can run the pre-clear routine over USB. This way you can verify the drive passes pre-clear before taking it out of the case and potentially having a warranty return issue if it's no good. Edit: Just logged in to Costco and it shows for $119.99 after applying instant rebate. Pretty smoking deal! Link to comment
French-Guy Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Is it a good (or at least decent) drive to install as a parity drive? How do I run a preclear from USB? Does it have to be thru the server (my server doesn't have USB3) or could it be from another PC (Win 10 or 7) with a specific app? Link to comment
Acps Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I have had 2 for a 2+ years, mine get hauled around a lot, I use them for actual portability, not plug and stay. Great drives both still running with no errors or problems to date! Link to comment
