The editors didn't like

  • None Really
  • All 4TB of your data is counting on the survival of just one drive
  • Price/availability may be impacted due to current hard drive shortage
  • Please drop by the Bigbruin.com Forum and feel free to post any comments or questions
  • Proprietary cable means expensive cable replacement
  • No active cooling and not much vents
  • Drive runs bloody HOT after extended use
  • Only 2 years of warranty
  • Replacing hard drive will be difficult
  • No power on / off switch for drive...
  • Thin plastic case
  • No AES hardware encryption
  • A bit expensive
  • Connection adapters tough to remove
  • * Case prone to smudges
  • Plastic construction doesn't provide much physical protection
  • Enclosure too narrow
  • Which makes it prone to tipping over. FireWire 800 adapter will cost you another $50.
  • The Seagate 4TB GoFlex Desk is comparatively expensive
  • And its other connection adapters cost extra. The drive also topples rather easily
  • Relying on a single drive to back up so much data can be dangerous
  • Expensive
  • Considering 3TB models cost about $100 less
  • None that I found
