doesn't say RPM or cache size though....

It's an external drive.

Probably 5900 RPM with 16MB or 32MB cache.

I hope you can get that thing with a USB 3.0 interface card. If you are transfering 3TB of data, that'll take a hell of a long time over USB2.

Every have to do a data recovery on a 1tb hard drive?


No fun.....no fun at all :(

We have a multi-disk 4tb USB drive in one of our labs....I fear the day that goes bad.





But yes, I want one ;)

If i were to get it I'd probably take it out of its enclosure and plug it in SATA

+1. With USB 2.0, its not going to be at all quick...3TB @ 35MB/sec is going to take ages.

BTW, full review of the GoFlex 3TB here-

Supposedly its a 7200RPM/32MB drive. Who knows if, or when, seagate could change the actual HDD they are installing.

I know you can swap out the interface card, but you'd need a USB3 mobo or expansion card to do that.

But yeah.. I've done full backups of my RAID array onto external disk over USB 2 and it takes all day (and night) to transfer. =/
