Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Haven't had a chance to test the performance of this drive (which I expect to be low due to the shingled track scheme), but already I've found a big gotcha that will impact many potential users. This drive is missing a number of the standard screw mount points and the inter-screw distance on the ones it has is not quite standard. This means this drive will not mount properly in many computer cases, drive sleds and externals enclosures. BUYER BEWARE. I'm uploading a picture to show the screw locations it does have. The Seagate Archive drive is pictured top and right versus a WD Red 6TB drive for comparison.
