These SMRs are very tricky. You may or may not get good performance. If you deviate from WG's use case, it may slow down a lot.
Just grab an older Seagate (Samsung HDD) off eBay for Xbox (2gb -...

Yeah, gotta try to shake down the drive before real use to address possible infant mortality. If you can use linux, run "badblocks -wvs" on the drive. It'll take several days, but will burn it in...

I guess it's up to the local store. The store near me refused to apply the coupon to the sale price.

I think I have the 4TB version but when the LED blinks slowly I think that indicates it is in standby mode - it's silent and I feel no vibration, so I'm doubtful that it's spinning.
The issue I...

I purchased this HDD the last time it was on sale. It's supposed to be a USB 3.0 drive but it is really slow as I have not seen USB 3.0 speeds when using it.
