USB 3.0 (or whatever they're calling it now) has max theoretical of 5Gb/s or 500MB/s so it is indeed around SATA III 6Gb/s limits. Of course, single mechanical drives aren't exactly capable of saturating either. Best case is around SATA II (300MB/s).
SATA I : SATA 150 MB/s
SATA II : SATA 300 MB/s
SATA III : SATA 600 MB/s

Swapping out 4x8tb
I would like to test them out too. What do you recommend using?
I used a program call HD Sentinel. Version 4.20 was free and allows full testing. You will have to find a key for it. Full test takes about 28-30 hours. Plus I'll be doing a full initialization and drive test in the NAS too (Synology)
It first randomly disconnects itself from the computer. Later, it started to have writing errors. Newegg's return policy is great. It automatically generated an RMA and shipping label with a few clicks.
But the worst thing is, I was using it to storage the disk image I am recovering from a failing 2TB drive. It has been running for 2 week and now I have to recover data from this drive. I will never purchase WD again.
Do you guys have better luck or have not fully tested it out yet?
SATA II max is 300MB/s (also SATA3G...) and a typical HDD in this size does sustained at 184-205 MB/s
which it won't max out SATA II regardless. nor is it a problem for USB3.0 5Gbps ~ 550MB/s with overhead so bobcow is mismatching throughput and interface speeds.
