We purchased the 4big Quadra just a couple of months ago, but it has already become indispensable to our work. It's got plenty of storage space for all our digital archives. It works well, it's fast and quiet. Highly recommend it.

Well built and works great, 2013-01-20
By BGeorge
We bought one unit like this for our office. It's used as a backup server. It's silent, compact, and very fast. We've had it for two months now. No issues whatsoever thus far.

Works Great, 2012-12-15
By Ching
The drive works really well with my PC. It seems to be well built and is rather compact. It worked right away. RAID set up was easy. The speeds are good. Having 8 TB storage is fantastic. The unit does what I need it to do.

Great Drive, 2012-11-08
By exlidnAarsWs
I have a couple of these beasts in my office. They're enormous! I use them for video storage and back up. They can store a heap of HD video and are fast enough to use as a render disk.
