i don't know i did not bother trying with mine i did not even get it in the house before it got shucked... Going to get another if the sale/stock lasts till paydayDoes anyone use these as an actual USB drive? I got one a week ago and it works fine on USB 2 but will not detect on USB 3. This is on Win 7.
Anyone else have this issue?

Tested mine on three pcs at once, all using usb 3.0 ports so it wouldn't take forever. I'd be suspect of your usb 3 ports if it isn't even detected.Does anyone use these as an actual USB drive? I got one a week ago and it works fine on USB 2 but will not detect on USB 3. This is on Win 7.

5400rpmwhat is the rpm of this external USB. I was unable to find it on their page.
Picked up a third one a couple weeks ago. As others have already mentioned it works fine on USB 3. Averaged about 155MB/s transferring about 3.5TB of large video files. No boost it appears though.Does anyone use these as an actual USB drive? I got one a week ago and it works fine on USB 2 but will not detect on USB 3. This is on Win 7.

Ordered 2 more. 32TB here I come!

Careful everyone, they are now starting to ship with Red's relabeled White they are Wd80EMAZ the issue with them is that they DO NOT work outside of the enclosure. They drive does not spin up for some reason. No matter what PSU or setup I used it would not spin up. Thankfully I was able to take the one easystore that came with that drive back and get an EFAX. Just a warning for those that got drives but havnt looked inside yet.

Just get the EMAZ drives. Either use molex-sata adapters or remove/insulate the orange 3.3v.Any other info? Box changes? UPC changes? PCB changes? Anything other than the label on the drive?

You could go for Made in China drives but that'd get you the inferior 128mb EFZX.
edit: are sata pins single-sided? If so, you could easily cover the 3.3v ones with nail polish for a reversible fix. Or electrical tape. The 3 pins on the L side (inside) are 3.3v.

EMAZ implements the power disable feature: https://www.hgst.com/sites/default/files/resources/HGST-Power-Disable-Pin-TB.pdfIs this from personal experience or where did you come across this information?

Using mine to hold my movies while I rebuild my ZFS. Connected to USB3 on WIndows 10 and copied around 6.7TB of data. Stay pegged at ~95MB/s second for about 22 hours. I usually see ~105MB/s when transferring between same 2 computers from SATA to SATA.....so not sure if that was a drive issue or protocol issue.
The throughput would be entirely dependent on the model of router. Odds are it will be slower than you would be happy with for streaming 4k video.Inside the enclosure is this SATA3? Anyone have experience with pulling the drive out of the box and putting it internal?
Might finally be time to put that USB port on my router to use.
Wonder how slow network access would be?
Not gonna put many games or large apps like Office, movies and music? Other data? Would 4k stream ok throughout the apartment?

wifi can be glitchy with streaming movies even with 802.11ac. I have to stream my BD rips through 1GbE instead if 866Mbps AC because the wireless looses sync in streaming for whatever reason. AC goes 30-40MBps but it always desyncs audio :/Uhhh if we are talking hard disk through put and raw network throughput, those are easily and order of magnitude higher than what is needed for 4k video. Wifi is a completely different story. Theoretically something as old as 802.11n is fast enough, but you really need high quality gear, because most things claiming to implement standards actually fall short.
I was speaking more to the low quality usb controller found on most routers, there's a good chance they won't sustain a high enough speed. Probably burst fast enough but it's all about sustained speeds in this regard. Hey maybe it'll work, someone give it a try?Uhhh if we are talking hard disk through put and raw network throughput, those are easily and order of magnitude higher than what is needed for 4k video.

It seems capable enough, but you're limited to FAT32 which is problematic. SNB also had issues mounting a flash drive, so I'm not certain your router would even see the drive. See the bottom of https://www.smallnetbuilder.com/wir...and-wireless-router-reviewed?showall=&start=2WZR-1750DHP
My phone/tablet use the wifi, everything else including my main monitor are connected via gigabit ethernet.

this is with R7000s too and a perfect signal since the wifi is 2 feet from my laptopOh shoot I completely missed that detail. Yeah, I have a feeling most routers are not going to perform well for 4k streaming here.
Also I forget that streaming stability has a lot to do with clients. A good client with a big enough buffer can handle a crappy stream like that hosted by a router.
