\ud83d\udc4d Pros<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    High storage capacity<\/strong>: 14 TB gives lots of room for backups, media libraries, etc.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

     <\/p>\n

      \n
    • \n

      Ready to use<\/strong>: Plug-and-play with Windows; minimal setup.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

       <\/p>\n

        \n
      • \n

        Rescue Data Recovery<\/strong>: Extra value in case of accidental deletion or data loss.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

         <\/p>\n

          \n
        • \n

          USB 3.0<\/strong>: Decent transfer speeds, broadly compatible.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

           <\/p>\n

            \n
          • \n

            Relatively compact for a desktop drive<\/strong>: The physical size is reasonable given the storage.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

             <\/p>\n

            \n

            <\/h2>\n

            \ud83d\udc4e Cons \/ Things to Watch Out For<\/h3>\n

             <\/p>\n

              \n
            • \n

              Power requirement<\/strong>: Needs its own power adapter; not USB-bus powered. Means one more thing to plug in.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

               <\/p>\n

                \n
              • \n

                Speed limitations<\/strong>: It\u2019s a HDD, so no \u201cSSD-like\u201d transfer speeds. USB 3.0 helps, but large file transfers (or many small files) will take time.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                 <\/p>\n

                  \n
                • \n

                  Reformatting needed<\/strong> if using with some Macs or for Time Machine backups. \u2733<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                   <\/p>\n

                    \n
                  • \n

                    Noise \/ heat<\/strong>: As with many large desktop HDDs, can generate more heat and maybe more noise than smaller\/portable drives\u2014especially under load.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                     <\/p>\n

                    \u2139 Tips \/ Best Use Cases<\/h3>\n

                     <\/p>\n

                      \n
                    • \n

                      Use this as a backup drive<\/strong> or for storing large, infrequently accessed data (media, archives, virtual machine images).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                       <\/p>\n

                        \n
                      • \n

                        If using with Mac and want Time Machine, reformat to HFS+<\/strong> (or APFS, checking your OS version).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                         <\/p>\n

                          \n
                        • \n

                          Keep it in a well-ventilated place so it doesn\u2019t overheat.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                           <\/p>\n

                            \n
                          • \n

                            Use safely: backup important data in two places (i.e. don\u2019t rely on a single drive).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
