question
I have a NAS system and want to archive large projects to the shelf. If I use this HDD, then take it out of the drive - how long can I guarantee the data stays intact?
The drive manual for this drive says: Maximum storage periods are 180 days within original unopened Seagate shipping package or 60 days unpackaged within the defined non-operating limits (refer to environmental section in this manual). Storage can be extended to 1 year packaged or unpackaged under optimal environmental conditions (25C, <40% relative humidity non-condensing, andnon-corrosive environment). During any storage period the drive non-operational temperature, humidity, wet bulb, atmospheric conditions, shock, vibration, magnetic and electrical field specifications should be followed.

question
CAN THEY DO RAID ?
No. I quote In this case the results clearly show that this implementation of SMR is not a good fit for RAID

question
I have a MacPro 3,1 2x4. Would there be any issues using this type of drive internally or externally ? (Seagate Archive HDD 8TB)I have read the MacPro has some form of issue with drives greater than 2.0 TBs.But I just noticed the B&H listing for the Seagate Desktop SSHD ST4000DX001 3.5 4TB is a compatible drive with MacPro 3,1.
I have the mac pro tower 4,1. The issue that you are referring to about the issue with drives greater than 2 TB is only applicable if you have the Apple Raid Card. For some unknown reason, they configured the raid card to a limit of 2 TB, so if you install 3,4,5,6 TB drives, they will work, but your system will only recognize them as 2 TB. Extremely annoying. It became such a drawback that I removed the $900 raid card from my system and use disk utility to configure software raid. Without the RAID card installed, the computer will recognize the larger drives.

question
where to get a sled adapter for the mac pro mounting screws not standard ?
If you are even marginally handy, it is fairly simple to mark your tray for the new hole locations and (obviously with your drive removed), drill new holes where you need them. Make sure the screw head will clear upon insertion. I have also found that if some of the screws line up, but not all, it is perfectly secure even without all of the screws installed. The caveat being that your computer is stationary - if you transport it often you will want it completely secure. Duct tape and velcro can also be very useful. Be creative.

question
Is this compatible with the HighPoint RocketStor 5411A USB 3.0 to SSD/SATA Hard Drive Docking Station?
I don't know about specific USB docking station, but it works with every one that I have. It really is just a big SATA drive.

Hello, I am wondering about the quality of this drive. I once heard that G-tech/Hitachi made the best drives. Can this be considered as good? (It says made for much use... I am talking about use in a regular computer for video etc.) Thank you
A rep. told me that it's mainly meant for use as a backup drive, as it has a limited rating of on hours (look in specs). And hence the word 'archive' in its title.

question
I just read rovpilot's review on how 3/8 of these drives he got were defective. What's the best way to test and make sure linkspeed is up to par with one of these drives? (I have a SATA to usb 3.0 cable that I'd be using to test, if possible.)
I would recommend using HD Tune (http://bit.ly/1xPZNhz) The standard (free for personal use) version will run an error scan as well as providing a read benchmark for your new drive. You would be able to run the test using your USB to SATA connector.
