First 6TB HDD benchmarked, helium drive

[JellyRoll]

I am thinking of getting a few of these for my NAS, there is only one way to get more capacity! Someone finally got one and benchmarked it.

Great! Can't wait for the 5xxx RPM NAS version when it comes down to reasonable price levels. In 2018 I guess....

I'd love to have a bunch of 6TB drives. I recently purchased my first Hitachi hard drive(4 TB) and I like it.

Only problem is the cost. At $870 a pop, I can only afford, um, well, none...

There's another review.

It will be great when other companies have competing products to bring the price down.
