Not reliable - Failed within 3 months and 9 days of very light use. I did put about 4 or 5 tb of data on it but it was only used for maybe 20 mins a day after that. Defeats the entire purpose of a large data storage device. Also very loud for a HDD made in 2020+. Sounds like a 90's HDD. Haven't had a HDD crash like this on me in 15 years.
