Rated 3 out of 5

good but be sure to test your drives before production use

got 4 of these drives and 2 are dead on arrival. RMA process with Adorama was pretty easy however i feel as though the replacements that were sent were just the drives I sent in - the boxes and packaging were already open and when plugging in the drives make the same ticking noise and fail to load. The two that do work though not seeing any issues
