24TB! 7200 rpm, great value.

-Work well -quiet -should be reliable based on past experiences


Ordered two on the 4th of Mar (Friday) and received both on the 7th (Monday 3/7/2022). Ran all of Sea Tools diagnostics on them and they passed all tests. (Note: the Long Generic test takes ~14 Hrs.). I purchased a D-Link DNS-320 NAS in 2011. It was slow and their 2.05 firmware only supported up to 3 TB hard drives. I found freeware firmware called Alt-F that can be loaded on the DNS-320 and supports the 8 TB hard drives. I loaded the Alt-F firmware and it formatted the ST8000VN004s using Ext 4 in a RAID 1 configuration resulting in a swap file and 7.2 TB of usable storage. I copied almost 4 TB of data to the old NAS, breathing new life into a previously pretty limited 2-bay NAS server.

One of largest drives on the market. Meant for 24/7 operation. Quiet. Works well in my NAS. No errors found on drive.

- The drive works and provides good speed for my NAS. - Good storage amount for the price.


First impression after starting it on a dock this morning is: What a speedy beast! My fist 8088 PC had a seagate 20MB doing 125 kB/s from an MFM controller. Took 2.5 hours for low-level then DOS format The WD takes less than a day to fill. Wonder what The SAS version does. And got 2 with a 5 year warranty for less than twice the price per TB of 12 unwarrantied 3TB HGST K4000 being auctioned today. Conditional to lasting performance this is a Super Deal! At room temperature they runs the 220 MB/s R/W test at 45 C cool! Since they are 7200 RPM they will probably be OK as spares for my 8*18 TB raid array.

This was a replacement for a DOA after purchasing several drives. Not Newegg fault. Seagate should QC better. Newegg got my replacement out same day I sent back, total return time was 2 business days. FAST AS HELL. Excellent service. And the drive works perfectly now with the others. And the price was excellent for the storage. Transfer speed is better than 200MB/S. 14.5 GB formatted space. Great value.

Problem with the original order - drives were returned and a replacement requested. Newegg completed the RMA in quick order and shipped out the new drives. They're installed and running well. Great service!

Good performance for 7200 RPM drives Mostly silent operation Running 24/7 in RAID 1 without issues Good value at 350USD each (you may find a different price) CMR technology, 5-year warranty

Did a full format, the memory transfer has been smooth and clean.

Quiet and reasonably fast.

Price /space

Relatively inexpensive Easily install into a server as a RAID 1 array Relatively quiet

Reasonably priced Great writing speeds for a spinning hard drive Quiet

Just what I needed at a great holiday price

-Transfer rates are good - average a little over 200MB/s, drive to drive on the same LSI HBA on Unraid if it matters. -Temperature is good - average 30C in a 20C room during continuous transfer of files, about the same as a 6TB (WD6003FFBX), and about 5C lower than a 10TB (WD102KFBX). Idle temp is ~26C. This drive and comparables are in the same server/array. - Noise is relatively low, about the same as a 6TB and noticeably more quiet than the 10TB. - Cost per TB is good when on sale, very close to the largest 18-22TB rate.

Big drive with tons of space easy to connect I've used WD drives for decades at this option and they always last year's and years very reliable

Everything , works, fast, quiet
