hd tune seq start at 267megabyts and stays for the first 10tb above 200. so using this huge drive is good for 4k video editing. in a well noise cancelling case (FRACTLE R5 in my case) is whisper quite, also because this drive was installed in my case and not in a nas i disabled the "powerchoice" option that parks the heads every couple min (and preventing that "click and crunch" sound) using seachest tools program.

 Best User Rated
Why does UserBenchmark have a bad reputation on reddit?
Marketers operate thousands of reddit accounts. Our benchmarks expose their spiel so they attack our reputation.
Why don’t PC brands endorse UserBenchmark?
Brands make boatloads on flagships like the 4090 and 14900KS. We help users get similar real-world performance for less money.
Why don’t youtubers promote UserBenchmark?
We don't pay youtubers, so they don't praise us. Moreover, our data obstructs youtubers who promote overpriced or inferior products.
Why does UserBenchmark have negative trustpilot reviews?
The 200+ trustpilot reviews are mostly written by virgin marketing accounts. Real users don't give a monkey's about big brands.
Why is UserBenchmark popular with users?
Instead of pursuing brands for sponsorship, we've spent 13 years publishing real-world data for users.
