Review is 8,4 out of 10.

If speed is more important than noise, the Pro is perfect.

Good product, does what you expect of it.

Because it runs at a higher speed, reading and writing is faster, but you can also hear it slightly more clearly compared to the regular version.

Cool!

Meets expectations.
Very good performance
noisy during random reads

I'm using three of them for a NAS RAID 5. They've been working for six months now. Excellent! No bads. They're noisy during random reads. Sequential reads are completely silent. Superb! They allow you to perform several operations simultaneously. For example: watching a movie, loading LLM parameters, downloading new data to disk. All without any noticeable delays.
