This is a bit hard for even me to believe as I write it, but I have NEVER had a WDC drive fail me. Never. Cannot say that about any other brand. I use the drives connected to a MegaRAID 9265-8i controller with 1 GB cache RAM. In that config, these HDDs can keep up witht he xfer rate of my Samsung 850 EVO SSDs. 500+ MB/s moving large data files form the SSD to the HDD and vice versa.

Working great after about a week. Sure seems like it's faster than my old one.

Lots of storage

-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.

I have not installed it yet so my comment is on the value for 4 TB of storage from a great brand. I plan to use it mainly for backups and C drive images. Speed is not an issue and being a mechanical drive, I hope to get some warning of impending failure years from now vs a sudden SSD failure

Just what I wanted.

Easy to install. Ready to use. The price is right.

-Fast transfer speeds of <200MB/sec -Quiet, cant be heard outside case, no seek noises at all -Has 2000+ hours on it already and no issues or problems so far

Very Fast. At 8 TB it is just the right size for me to not grow out of for a while.

most trusted HDD

- Bought the 22TB for my NAS Synology 923+ and works perfectly fine - Quite (Unlike I've read in some comments here - probably you got a faulty one) - Easy to install - Package was packed pretty good

quiet and fast


Does what it's supposed to do. Simple Installation.

Huge capacity, very fast

Drive is MUCH quieter than I thought it would be after reading some of the other reviews. Fit right into the hole in my RAID5 left by a dead old drive. My only regret is not being able to afford (even though the price is quite good) 2 more of these to replace the other 1TB drives in my array. I’ll have an extra 1TB just hanging around until I can replace the other drives.



No Problems yet. CP runs 24/7. Going to buy a second on for my second Build !

Good capacity and pretty quite even under load.
