July 15, 201510 yr I really like this drive and just replaced my parity drive with one. Great price too as I got mine for around $145 recently. If anyone's interested, here are my preclear results: * Started 3 cycles of preclear on 7/7/2015 @ 10:05 PM * Finished preclear in 97 hrs 35 min with 0 sectors reallocated * * Preclear Successful * ... Total time 97:35:36 * ... Pre-Read time 9:04:15 (153 MB/s) * ... Zeroing time 9:18:47 (149 MB/s) * ... Post-Read time 20:06:12 (69 MB/s)
August 7, 201510 yr Looks like these drives are going on sale pretty much everywhere. Almost makes me weary that there is a problem with them, let's hope not! I just bought 4 at best buy for $139.99 each. I know they're on sale on B&H for $139.99 as well (there is another post about that one). Also, Amazon, though out of stock a lot, has them for $139.99. Seems like the 5TB drives are definitely the best "bang for buck" deal right now.
