   That's pretty dumb Microcenter.

   
   Not if they have a higher profit margin in the 14TB model.

   That's pretty dumb Microcenter.

   
   nas drives are rated to be in constant use, desktop drives aren't
   
   dunno if there's any measurable difference in performance or lifespan but the warranty is usually different

   Ah yes that's the difference....the 12tb is a NAS drive...I missed that part.
   
   Installed the 14TB over the weekend and copied all my shit over from the old 6TB which was only 5800 so the 7200 is a noticeable boost too.

    You can create even more "phantom data" on the drive by using WinPAR. WinPAR creates a compressed archive (Parity Volumes) with PAR files. The PAR files can reconstruct completely missing data in the archive. So you can create a 12-part PAR archive, delete four of the parts, then use the much smaller PAR repair files later to reconstruct the missing data.
