I received the new drive surprisingly quickly after I ordered it. Installation was very straightforward, just sliding it into an open drive bay in my Synology Diskstation, next to the 2TB drive already in place, and now I've got 8TB of free disk space. This space is all I'll need for Apple TimeMachine backups from 3 macbookss.
It would have been nice had there been four little screws included, with which to mount the drive in the enclosure. I ended up borrowing screws from another drive.
I'd certainly recommend this drive to others, and Newegg provides great selection, quality products, and rapid delivery.
-7200 RPM
-Great for RAIDs
-Large capacities
-Packaging was dubious, disks are not well protected from vibration or jostling in shipping boxes
Ordered five 8TB disks. One of the disks registered a fault in my RAID controller software within 48 hours of installation. I'm thankful I ordered an extra disk for my RAID in anticipation.
First time I've had a Western Digital disk fail so quickly. I will be looking at alternative and more reliable brands in the future. My purchase will suffice in the meantime.
