Review on πŸ’½ Toshiba 16TB SATA Enterprise Desktop Hard Drive - MG08ACA16TE: 7200RPM, 512e, 3.5 by Shawn Lamp

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Ideal for Synology NAS

I have an older Synology DS3612xs NAS. I think the online documentation stops "preferring" drives larger than 12TB, but 16TB drives work fine. I also have an EXOS 16TB with no problems. Update - MG08 16TB drives run 3-6 degrees cooler than the Seagate ST1600. As prices have fallen to their pre-mining peaks, I will be adding more MG08s to my Synology.

Pros
  • Useful for more than intended purpose
Cons
  • So-so
