    Two large capacity hard drives

    These two disks are used in a NAS in RAID 1. I'm very satisfied with them for the moment, despite the little noise they make almost all the time. I hope that they will last a long time, because the aim is to ensure the durability of the backups, which therefore exist in three copies: the PC disks and the two NAS disks.

    Does its job

    The pluses :
    Appreciable transfer speed
    Works perfectly with a Synology DS220+

    Minus: coupled with the synology, when leaving standby or when it scratches. the noise is quite audible.

    Very good hard drive, even if a bit noisy
