Review on 8TB Seagate Backup Plus Hub Desktop Hard Drive with Data Recovery Services by Jihu Gim ᠌

The product is of good quality, there is only one minor defect.

The disks are pulled out of the box and inserted into the system unit in 4 pieces,
with additional cooling of each quad from a 12cm fan.
They are assembled into a single RAID6 array with a useful volume of 43.6 TB using the Adaptec ASR-51245 controller and work 24/7 without much load. The temperature in this mode is 30-34 degrees.

Pros

Immediately, I note that the use is not typical. When buying, only the lowest price per terabyte was taken into account. For some reason, in the portable version, the price of the same disk is lower than in the regular desktop version. However, it is not difficult to bring to the desktop version. Inside the box is a regular Seagate ST8000DM004 SATA drive from the Seagate Compute series. (do not confuse with ST8000DM0004), and earlier versions had ST8000AS0002 of the Seagate Archive series. The only disadvantage of this transformation is the loss of warranty, since it will obviously not work to carefully disassemble the black box without damaging the latches.

Cons

1) Perhaps - reliability. For six months of work, the failure of one disk out of 8 purchased. That I didn’t understand it, I bought and dismantled another one to replace it. The rest work flawlessly. (Running time is about 6800 hours.) 2) The speed of work with random access and copying a bunch of small files is clearly slow. Creating an array of 8 disks took about 2 days.

Some pros: Decent speed, fairly quiet, volume, speed does not heat up Different cons: with built-in HDD, the speed is lower. But for storing information - norms

Has some pros Capacity, compact, easy to connect. Writes large files quickly. Got cons: In principle, nothing so serious, except that the TV does not see such a volume. As they say, you can do a breakdown, I don’t.

Some pros: Works smartly enough for my tasks. Allows you to mount directly from it without delay. Cons: It stands on the table, sometimes it starts to vibrate unpleasantly.

With its pros. I have three of these. Very pleased in work, two outputs for all sorts of adapters, charging, etc. Another 4 months of subscription to the package with Photoshop and Lightroom. Some cons: It heats up to 55 degrees during operation, hard drives do not even get 50 degrees inside the case
