Newbie here who bought 2 of those drives. After formatting, 224.7MB used, 12TB free, according to Disk Utility.Īmazing summary. I formatted both to exFAT after viewing initial smart info using TechTool Pro 13 (macos). After initial infos, both are WD120EDAZ-11F3RA0 helium-filled (as described by "Current Helium Level" during S.M.A.R.T. Ymgenesis wrote: ↑Picked up 2 12tb drives today. I'll report back if the thread isn't closed. Good to know it's a feature and not a bug After 45m of scanning, the drive is sitting at 48 degrees in the original enclosure. So far I do notice the little bump noises during surface scanning disk 1, either part of the read/write or the preventative wear leveling. Same USB port for both (macpro late 2013).ĭoing surface scan for bad blocks on the disks now with techtool before shucking and into my RAID. I used the cables that came with each drive respectively, not one for both, so maybe that changed variables a bit. Not sure the reason for the speed difference between the 2 (disk 2 being a tad faster).
