They come recommended by friends of mine who work for other HD companies as WD uses a heavier bearing in these. Lower energy use = less noise and heat. A 6T drive should last for years as a backup drive to a 2T system.

I've been replacing the 3T drives in my Time Capsules as warranties expire. Since I back up a number of machines on my network, I'm using 8T drives.
Mike,
A question for you:
I seem to remember there being a limit (a few years ago) with OSX not recognising larger hd's, is this no longer an issue?
I've stayed away from larger hd's because of this.
Has there been changes in newer OS's like 10.10 & 10.11 or have I been misinformed with this?
Thanks
KG
