I'll grab some popcorn whilst I wait for the failure rate moaners to crawl out of the woodwork...
Also worth noting this is available from Argos for the same price and they will soon give you a free £10.00 voucher for your troubles :smiley:

I'm glad you mentioned it! I will consider splitting my 8tb of data across 2000 4GB memory sticks to reduce the risk of data loss :laughing:

Can I just be the first to moan about the failure rate of these...

I buy all my drives in pairs whatever the brand. It's simpler :smiley:

This particular drive or some Seagate from the past, used outside it's comfort zone and then using poor quality statistical analysis to prove something that's irrelevant for 99.9% of users?
For the record, mine (and I have my data elsewhere) has been running 24x7 for 5 months without issue.
This particular drive with the extra ports, if like me, you've got it plugged into the single available USB3 port on your machine.
I've found mine to be so good, I'm seriously tempted to pick up a second, was looking last night, when I stumbled on this offer.

8TB backup - just add another 2TB and you can back up a human brain :smile:
