This was my first shuck. My UNAS Pro currently houses around 5.25TB of data, and I already have a rackmount Synology RS812 that has a backup of most of it. I was using this drive in it’s USB housing for a few years now, but I have always wondered about getting it into my main PC for mass storage and whether I would have to cover\/mod\/remove the 3.3v pin so that it could work internally in a PC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thankfully, I didnt have to touch it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Upon removal I put the drive into my external USB3 Tecknet drive mount, and it mounted fine. I then tried to mount it into my Batocera emulation PC to see if it was detected in BIOS, it was! I then pulled out my main machine and threw in a SATA cable and SATA power cable to my power supply and it was detected straight away in Windows on reboot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The transfer speeds are around 200MB\/s at max. It’s not bad, it is what it is, it’s still better than the 110MB\/s via USB that I was seeing. This is going to be a backup for the UNAS Pro, along with the Synology backup, it just means that I have multiple copies of my data in the event of failure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
