That's more of a server class drive designed to be READ from and not WRITTEN to.
Ideal for a webserver/streaming content (ignoring the capacity limitations!).
Not really one you want for a PC/Laptop.

That's not entirely true, its write IOPs arent as good, but it has a much better write endurance.

Well if your writing you would be better of buying a different product? e.g. A similar disk to this but made for write consistency. No reason to go out and buy this drive if you main focus is writing to a disk or a general homeuser.
