You need courage to put 4tb of data into this baby.
Based on my experience with the 3TB version of this, you'll have a ticking time-bomb in your hands. 3 Months max before it self-destructs!
This should only be used for backup of a backup, where you fire up once, maybe a quarter.
Yes, that's why it's turns cheap.
i bought two 2tb seagate goflex external drives in 2012. one of them died within 3 months.
Rough shipping/handling accounts for the majority of hard drive failures.
