Great price for a great drive. Reviews on ncix (who I have not purchased from before) seem solid.
Thanks!

Saturate USB3.0!? USB3 is spec'd at 5 Gbit/s or 625 MB/s. Even Gig LAN is good to 100MB/s, which is still probably faster on average.
Though to stream a 1080p movie you really don't need more...

How is this compared to the WD Green 3TB for JBOD streaming NAS 1080p MKV to WDTV Live Plus over E3000 and general multitasking NAS using FreeNAS?

would not be slower than a WD Green (you didn't mantion RS or RX) in either situation. throughput is sufficient to saturate USB 3.0 or gigabit LAN so neither case is problematic

1) obviously you didn't read the review - the Seagate is capable of sustained seq reads at 100MB/s even on the inner platters in a single disk config, RAIDed disks definitely do matter since they're...

1) re: gigabit LAN
wrong even SATA spec is 150MB/s, SATA II drives can transfer sequential easily in excess of that
link bears it out, even higher rates possible RAID'ed
2)
USB3.0 is spec'ed...

1) This is about 30MB/s faster than the WD green you mentioned earlier. This is quite probably the fastest sequential disk drive today, and it certainly doesn't "easily" exceed SATA I speeds. RAID...
