I came across this drive on sale, for the price of 6939 CZK it was irresistible, so I moved two pieces to the NAS server Synology DS220+ where they are connected in RAID1. The server loaded capacity is 14.6 TB, Windows takes 13.9 TB, I expected these values, now I have taken care of the server capacity. The big advantage was the promotional price, and the disadvantage is the high noise level of these discs. In Raid, they are connected together, so they do everything the same, so the noise is double. Initially, I had doubts whether the discs were OK based on the noise they were making. But they are, they work, and the system reports nothing. The operating temperature ranges from 31 to 36°C.

Super disk, ideal location outside the studio/office. unusable in a quiet environment
huge capacity
loud knocking of the head, which wouldn' t matter - but the disc emits a subliminal “whine“ (something like a ciol whine, it' s a kind of non-stop tinnitus), which even fans can' t do anything about (maybe just a defective piece? )

Reliable disk
Probably an unbeatable capacity / speed / price ratio
With a very, very long copy in the cradle, it heats up a little more, but you just need to cool it down with a fan

First I bought it for a silent PC and then I ran it.: ) I finally had to take it out and put it in an external box, which I turn on when I need to backup or archive data.
