👍 Pros
-
High storage capacity: 14 TB gives lots of room for backups, media libraries, etc.
-
Ready to use: Plug-and-play with Windows; minimal setup.
-
Rescue Data Recovery: Extra value in case of accidental deletion or data loss.
-
USB 3.0: Decent transfer speeds, broadly compatible.
-
Relatively compact for a desktop drive: The physical size is reasonable given the storage.
👎 Cons / Things to Watch Out For
-
Power requirement: Needs its own power adapter; not USB-bus powered. Means one more thing to plug in.
-
Speed limitations: It’s a HDD, so no “SSD-like” transfer speeds. USB 3.0 helps, but large file transfers (or many small files) will take time.
-
Reformatting needed if using with some Macs or for Time Machine backups. ✳
-
Noise / heat: As with many large desktop HDDs, can generate more heat and maybe more noise than smaller/portable drives—especially under load.
ℹ Tips / Best Use Cases
-
Use this as a backup drive or for storing large, infrequently accessed data (media, archives, virtual machine images).
-
If using with Mac and want Time Machine, reformat to HFS+ (or APFS, checking your OS version).
-
Keep it in a well-ventilated place so it doesn’t overheat.
-
Use safely: backup important data in two places (i.e. don’t rely on a single drive).
