I can get 3 of these for a good price...Are they decent drives?

Anyone using one?

Will be used in a storage pool of 6TB for my samples Libraries in my studio.

Thanks!

The read\write is really slow depends how cheap really.

I'm not on about the NVME drives but the 2.5 drives...which have 560mb and 530mb read and write speeds

In theory it's almost as good as the MX500. I have one alongside an MX500 and it's very hard to see any difference in performance.

Thanks for the input....looks like 3 x 2TB Blues then...The MX 500 has just increased in price a bit...
