Not sure why people are complaining

It seems people are only complaining about a shorter warranty than advertised. Apparently, this is just a nuance of the sellers on Revain - they receive a guarantee from the manufacturer, and then resell the product, so the guarantee clock is already ticking. If this isn't a problem for you, but not a problem for me, then there's an easy way to work around this problem. I also read that someone received the wrong product. This has happened to me in the past with another seller who sold a different brand so I believe it. If you receive a product that looks different than the one pictured, and especially if it comes with dates and is used like new, return the product immediately for a full refund. Otherwise it is an extremely high quality car to drive. The product I received was exactly as pictured and exactly as described. So far I've been very impressed with the read/write speeds and minimal heat and noise - the case is made from high quality metal which helps dissipate heat, keep the helium inside and seal out the hard drive's spinning noise. I recommend using it for storage pools, not operating systems. If possible, put your operating system on an m.2 or 2.5 inch SSD - this way you won't lose your data if you ever encounter a hard drive or software error in your operating system; Conversely, if that drive in your data pool fails, you don't lose the operating system, just the data. These 10TB units are ideal for large media library storage pools specifically designed for 24/7 enterprise-class operation.

Pros
