About this deal

Simple & Ultra slim, the small, light weight enclosure features massive capacity and high quality and reliability. Solid-state drives (SSDs) have fewer moving parts than traditional hard drives, and they offer the speediest access to your data. Unlike a conventional disk-based hard drive, which stores data on a spinning platter or platters accessed by a moving magnetic head, an SSD uses a collection of flash cells—similar to the ones that make up a computer's RAM—to save data. WD Gold 14TB Enterprise Class Hard Disk Drive - 7200 RPM Class SATA 6Gb/s 512MB Cache 3.5 Inch - WD141KRYZ of usable space is equal to 12,000GB or 12,000,000MB of storage capacity. This translates to approximately 11,500GB of usable space, after accounting for formatting and other overhead. Are 16TB drives reliable? Just how much faster is it to access data stored in flash cells? Typical read and write speeds for consumer drives with spinning platters are in the 100MBps to 200MBps range, depending on platter densities and whether they spin at 5,400rpm (more common) or 7,200rpm (less common). External SSDs offer at least twice that speed and now, often much more, with typical results on our benchmark tests in excess of 400MBps for the slowest ones. Practically speaking, this means you can move gigabytes of data (say, a 4GB feature-length film, or a year's worth of family photos) to an external SSD in seconds rather than the minutes it would take with an external spinning drive.

The LaCie 2big RAID array promises the reliability and delivers the performance benefit you'd expect from 7,200rpm platters, magnified by the default RAID 0 setting, while the optional RAID 1 setting is available if you want data redundancy. (A JBOD mode is also available if you don't want to use RAID.) Who It's For

A collection of spinning drives configured with a RAID level designed for faster data access can approximate the speeds of a basic SSD, while you should consider a drive with support for RAID levels 1, 5, or 10 if you're storing really important data that you can't afford to lose. Hit the link above for an explanation of the traits and strengths of each RAID level. Some require you to sacrifice raw capacity for data redundancy, so you'll want to pay attention to the nuances of each level. Say hello to hard drives- the perfect solution for all your storage problems. Store as many pictures, videos, audio files, movies or documents as you want with our range of external hard drives. We have a selection from all the brands like Toshiba, Seagate, Samsung and more, so that you find what you are looking for.

And although it is louder than the previous drive I was using I don’t find it to be distracting. I do however do notice a significant difference in the speed of the drive is much faster and have made load times shorter. Great drive!” Tech Specs & Details The G-Technologyis a phenomenal 14TB external hard drive with both USB-C and Thunderbolt 3. Aside from the massive amount of storage space, there are a plethora of reasons why we love it. It has a robust aluminum case build, a stylish design, it has a high-speed transfer rate, and an impressive 5-year limited warranty. Overall, it’s a pricey, but exceptional hard drive! Not only is theFantom DrivesGF3B10000UPone of the faster external hard drives on the market, but it holds a significant 14 terabytes of space, as well. This hard drive is entirely compatible with Xbox One, Macintosh, and PC. Providing 7200 RPM, it’s impressively fast which saves you precious time. It’s 3.5 pounds and only 8 inches tall, 5 inches wide, and 2 inches deep. We primarily recommend it for anyone looking for a faster than normal 14TB external hard drive! Massive capacity, up to 18TB capacity (1 1TB = one trillion bytes. Actual user capacity may be less depending on operating environment.) That said, as a platter-based hard drive, it's best equipped to store a game library; you're better off loading the games you're currently playing from an SSD. If you conservatively figure an average game size of 100GB, the 4TB version tested here can hold about 40 titles, serving as the stylish main repository of your collection for years to come, and for a much more modest outlay than you'd spend on an SSD of similar capacity.
