In Desktop Internal Hard Drives

Works as intended Price was right Replaced an older failed drive Fast RAID rebuild with new drive

Doing LLM training and needed to use a 35TB training file and 3TB validation file. Used 3 of these drives to create a RAID 0 drive with approx 54TB capacity. (this is on Ubuntu and formatted with XFS file system since usual EXT4 tops out at about 16TB file size.) Works great and much faster than a single drive would be due to the striping of RAID 0.

Good capacity and pretty quite even under load.

By MB, the cheapest and reliable HD in the market Will last many years of constant use

Registered for full 5 year warranty.

I've always found WD more reliable than the main competitor. The Red Plus drives - 8TB and up - are free of the horrible SMR format problem, and I appreciate NewEgg stating "CMR" right in the product description. This was the third 8TB Red Plus purchased for my Synology NAS box. It passed a full surface scan and is now working properly... and very quietly. Nothing more to say, after a couple of weeks steady use. It is worth noting that, unlike drives I've purchased from other (!) online sources, this WD Red Plus drive came properly packaged: in a box with spacers maintaining airspace around the unit. As a bonus, NewEgg also had the best price.

The 6 TB version seemed like the best balance between price, size, performance and noise / heat. This is going in a 4 bay NVR which is in a very quiet environment. So far, these drives seem much quieter than the 7200rpm version (during seek) which are being swapped out 1 at a time to allow the RAID rebuilds to catch up. Temps are 10C lower than the 7200 pro version. (37C vs. 47-49C per SMART data.)

5 year warranty with data recovery. BackBlaze recommended as low failure rate Excellent price-per-terabyte but only when on sale.

Longevity and reliability.

Keeping in line with Western Digital’s other newer drives, this one is a lot quieter in terms of vibration. Speeds are pretty decent overall and on par with what I would expect (see other for speeds). Cheaper than the Red drives with most of the benefits. These drives don’t appear to experience the same slow spin-up that some full on NAS drives do. 1TB drives are extremely cheap these days so you can buy a bucket load of them compared to even a few years ago.

Great solid hard drive. This is my second western digital. My first is a WD Black. Both work great and are super quiet.

Very quiet for a 7200rpm HDD. I have 4 of these in a rack operating RAID10 and I can barely hear it when spooled up.

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

Hey, it is my upgrade from 4TB. Data keeps growing. i need more backups, the 3TB are beginning to fail. Mutiple backups are better than one or none.
