Anonymous's review of SKYHAWK 2TB SURVEILLANCE 3.5IN 6GB/S SATA 64MB

Pros: The drives worked from installation.Cons: I can't offer a genuine review as I have not had these drives running for a reasonable time. They appear to be working well but until they have worked for at least a year reliability cannot be assessed other than that they have not failed yet.Better packaging.

Excellent for a Humax Fox HDRT2

An excellent purchase for use in an ageing Humax HDR Fox T2 as a replacement hard driv, jjust installed it into machine switched on and it formatted the drive itself. Working in seconds and very good service from scan.co.uk . Will definitely get another one.

Jack's review of SKYHAWK 2TB SURVEILLANCE 3.5IN 6GB/S SATA 64MB

Pros: Great drive, very fast transfer speeds in both read and write and cost effective for the capacity.Cons: Enterprise/NAS drives are much louder than standard consumer drives which can be a small annoyance when installed in a desktop computer. However this is a trade off for the capacity and performance.

Jeff's review of SKYHAWK 2TB SURVEILLANCE 3.5IN 6GB/S SATA 64MB

Pros: It arrived in one piece and reasonably quickly.Cons: I bought two. One open box and one brand new. Open box one was cheaper and works fine. Brand new one was faulty immediately. It is to be replaced but this process is so far taking quite some time.

Pros: Ability to get up and running fairly quickly and easily but takes a while longer to understand and set up more complex reqiuerements.Cons: CPU processor for DS218 is underpowered for video resulting in juddery playback on some videos.

R D's review of SKYHAWK 2TB SURVEILLANCE 3.5IN 6GB/S SATA 64MB

Pros: NAS seems faster to me than previous 5TB Red (but then again maybe I'm just wishing it to be faster). Its fast, huge and should be reliable. Oh and it's a disk drive, what else do you want ?Cons: 10TB still too expensive for an amateur but 8TB coming down in price as these things always do (early 2017). Had to doctor my Synology NAS disk tray to accommodate the drive - the central screw hole + certain indentations required by the disk tray are missing on this (super high capacity) disk design. After removal of the tray lugs there are now just 4 screw mounting points albeit they have high quality rubber shock absorbers. All seems secure but disk mounting is important in a high capacity NAS. Easy enough to fix but if you're less mechanically minded then this ... MorePros: NAS seems faster to me than previous 5TB Red (but then again maybe I'm just wishing it to be faster).

Richard's review of SKYHAWK 2TB SURVEILLANCE 3.5IN 6GB/S SATA 64MB

Pros: Better performance than expected in a 4 disk Linux software RAID10 array. These were the best price at time of purchase.Cons: No

Rock solid reliability!

These Skyhawk model drives work like any standard hard drive with one exception, they seem to last forever! Even while under 24/7 read/write usage.
