Yes, I tried to buy Dell's 4TB Toshiba Enterprise & they wanted 3 times the market price. So I bought 6 TB Toshiba Enterprise at half the price.

You are right, I am working on it. Having 12 Monitors, 24 inch each, the distance requires fairly large fonts.

Darn it, I should have gone to the 6 more prom night I was asked to go to.

Scat, I always look forward for your opinions & I have bought Dell 5820 but having trouble with extremely small Font size with Win-11 on it but will find a solution but right now I am so used to T-7500 setup with 12 monitors & avoiding fooling with 5820. But as you said, hopefully some other...

My Dell T-7500 workstation spec sheet says 10 TB maximum storage capacity. It has 4 drive bays & currently I am running 1 x 500 GB SSD + 1 x 2 TB SSD + 1 x 6 TB HDD. Instead of 6 TB HDD, I want buy a new 10 TB HDD. Does that mean, I will not be able to run that 10 TB HDD with other two...

Did that & No Problem with SSDs or HDDs. Changed cables 3 times.

Hi, I have an old Dell T7500 workstation that I have been using since 2012. It has 4 drive bays & I used to run 2 x 500GB SSds and 2 x 3TB totaling 4 drives. But now I can barely run 1 SSD & 1 HDD & that too if I used power from molex connector. Regular SATA port won't handle more than 1...

nitrene, Great suggestions. Really appreciate it & will give it a hard look. Many Thanks

Me too around 2001. All of mine failed within a year. I have Frequent power outages & running two workstations ( 1100 Watts ) with 12 ( 24 inch ) Monitors requires a very costly UPS & Battery. Tried once & it did not workout well.

Again many Thanks Tuxan and Cypherdude. I am attaching a side by side comparisons of the Original Dell Toshiba 4.0 TB that came with my Workstation & the New Toshiba 6.0 TB that I purchased locally from a retailer. He did not give me in a box but just the bare HDD in tinfoil and he ordered that...

Tuxan and Cypherdude, Really appreciate your expert help. When I posted the thread I had used the HDD to just get the test result & had not written any data on it & so is that the reason Crystal disk not showing any power on hours ? I just wrote about 1 TB of data & have put the test results...

I guess I should have framed the question differently. In early 2000, I trusted Seagate because of good reputation at that time & all 4 HDDs crapped out in less than a year even-though I bought them from a reputable source & they did replaced them with new ones but I did lose some data & could...

Do you consider Amazon, Walmart & Newegg reputable sources ?

Hi, I just bought a 6TB Toshiba Enterprise HDD Model MG08ADA600E from a local dealer because I ran out of room on my Dell Toshiba 4TB HDD that came with Dell Workstation 5820. But new 6TB HDD came in a Tin Foil & Does not look like the photo that I sent him. I did pay a hefty full price for it...

Scataphagos Many Thanks. How would I know what kind of packaging it would come in because from the photos everywhere it does not show details of Serial No, date of manufacture etc. & how would I know if it is genuine Toshiba or fake or a used one that is refurbished. Saw a lot of bad reviews...
