QUOTE(everling @ Jun 13 2013, 12:49 PM) You can install Windows on it and boot from the HDD. But it is a slow HDD according to some benchmarks. nice.. http://images.anandtech.com/galleries/2223...ot-81_575px.png http://images.anandtech.com/galleries/2223...ot-83_575px.png http://images.anandtech.com/galleries/2223...ot-86_575px.png http://images.anandtech.com/galleries/2223...ot-88_575px.png If it is not going into a NAS, you're probably better off buying a WD Blue or Green for cost-effectiveness and performance.  i guess its ONLY meant for nas..  |
