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

good transfer rate


Everything, drive is perfect.

I bought 3 of these drives. They were cheap and desgined for a NAS envrionment. They run roughly 5 degrees celcius colder than my Caviar Black 2tb 3.0Gb/s. They came in and I ran a long smart test on each of the drives with no errors, built a raid5 array out of them and moved my data over with no problem. All 3 drives I ordered worked properly out of the box.

-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.

Good price, good speeds

Great price Quiet

Large Size Works Great Stable Have ordered 100s of WD Gold none have failed so far


Good to go


Arrived 2 days early, came in a retail box with mounting screws. It is now chugging along happily in a Linux media server 24/7.

Quick shipping. Easy for my son to install. Upgraded security cam DVR. Works beautifully.

18tb of storage is great

Reliable Cost less than WD drives

Great value for the overall cost
