    Works Great in Windows HTPC!!

    Works Great in Windows HTPC!!
    I'm an HTPC enthusiast, and I'm using this 10TB red drive in my Windows HTPC. I'm running a 60GB SSD that holds my Windows 10 Pro OS, and then I have several other much larger internal drives that I store my audio/video files on. I would not recommend installing your operating system on a hard drive this large. I can only imagine the problems you'd run into. I have been running these red drives as extra storage for awhile now, and they work extremely well for the intended purpose. I've been replacing my smaller green drives as they have aged, and it's sad that WD doesnt make the green drives in these larger sizes. I've only found the blue drives in sizes up to 6TB, so these larger red drives really fit the bill. They are the only 5200rpm WD drives I can find this large. If I run out of space in the main hard drive bay, I always install them in a 5.25 inch bay adapter, with at least a 80cm cooling fan. The main drive bay has a bigger fan of it's own. Make sure you have a fan blowing on these large drives. Without proper cooling they can reach temps of 50C+ really quick, and that can mean a loss of your precious files. I've been collecting stuff for 25+ years and I cant risk a loss. So, I always do a full format on my new drives from the start. Its a great way to test a new drive before you start moving those files over to the new drive. A full format on a 10TB hard drive will take around 12.5 hours, so just let it run overnight. Your fully formatted size will be 9314GB under the Windows OS. If you dont understand that then search the internet, it's everywhere as to why. This drive was sold as a "Plus" drive, but I didnt see it printed anywhere on the drive as you can see. It doesnt matter to me though, because I will not being using it in a NAS system. I wasnt real happy about the manufactured date because it was almost a year ago. Would've preferred a drive with a more recent date. Other than those 2 things, I havent run into any issues with these red drives. They function really well for extra storage in my HTPC, and I'm going to buy more as the size increase. I sure do wish WD would make green or blue drives in these sizes, not sure why they dont.

    Já fez o sincronismo e opera em RAID com o outro disco que ainda está firme.
