WARRANTY30 Day Warranty
I ask because I'll be running 4 of them in my NAS, and I happen to measure Wattage used per every appliance in my home, it gives me a very accurate estimation of my Power Bill and keeps me from entering higher Billing Tiers from the Power Company.
Not to mention, more power used = More Heat, so just wondering what to expect with Four Server Driver @ 7200rpm compared to my Four WD Reds @ 5400rpms.
Thanks!

Is there an option to download games directly for storage to the external drive?
Thanks
And yep - if you go to storage there's an option for default location. Series S/X is on the internal/expansion drive, everything else is external. And I shuffle most of the smaller Series S/X games onto the USB until I'm using them; fast and easy to pull back to internal/expansion.

I suspect it's simply that many of these drives are just dead/dying. They're advertised as having roughly 5 years of heavy use. Recent BackBlaze stats show at least one model 12TB Ultrastar failing at much higher rates, starting around 4 years of age. Also, the drives being sold here generally seem to have endured an extremely high workload, often roughly twice the manufacturer's rated 550TB/year. And I'm not entirely convinced the seller is thoroughly testing them, though I could be wrong.
