Review on High-capacity 40TB Mobius 5-Bay RAID Hard Drive πŸ’Ύ Array with FireWire 800, eSATA, and USB 3.0 Connectivity by Adan Hudson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fast and Loud: Datastore

Love the capacity and connectivity. Setup is a bit fiddly, especially if you're used to cases like the Buffalo DriveStation Quad with software RAID configuration. On the other hand, this thing is 60 MB/s (megabytes, not megabits) faster than the DriveStation Quad over USB 3.0, which is always great. Unfortunately it is quite noisy. I'm not sure if I have one with a bad fan bearing or something, but when it's on my desk it's goddamn loud. Luckily I usually keep it in the data center and can't hear it through the servers, but if I had to keep it on my desk I'd be really pissed.

Pros
  • Jbod (default), RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 3, RAID 5, RAID 10, Combine (span)
Cons
  • None
