I have actually had this exact thing happen to me 4-5 years ago with a junk adapter, it shorted and melted the plastic on the hard drive fairly good. I was able to swap the board on the drive and...

My entire stream library is on this and nearly fills the drive, no issues to report. The most demanding game is probably GTA5 and gameplay is fine

The RAID 1 array that has my games are 5900 RPM Seagate's. They seem on par to 7200 RPM drives to me. The platter speed is not the only thing that matters.

Can you get more than two by placing a second order? I'm trying to get three and would like to avoid ordering & canceling if I'm truly limited to two.

Gosh dang it!
I just got some 4TB Seawolfs from New Egg in the mail just yesterday for my NAS.

Oh - whoops. Didn't know about these things. Not intending to use it in any NAS. Just as a storage drive. Hopefully that shouldn't be a problem. Newegg isn't great with returns I don't think. I'd...

This is not an SMR drive, right? Would this be a good drive to shuck and connect to a DVR where it will be constantly used?
