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

Fast Shipping! Works as expected.

plugged in, has worked for the past two weeks. No overt warnings about excessive bad sectors

Purchased another refurb HP DC7900 SFF for a customer who didn't want Windows 8. It came with a heavily used 750GB HDD. Ordered this one to pair with it in RAID1. The day before deployment the old drive failed with this one still running. It ran quick and things were very responsive. Received a replacement drive from the seller of the computer (heavily used of course) and rebuilt the array. Glad to have this drive in there for when the old one dies.


Very quite, huge capacity, low power consumption. I'm not using this is my primary drive. This is for Music, Pictures, Documents, Movies, and TV shows. I dont access these things everyday. I have 350gb drive + 250 SSD. My disk drive is almost full, so 2TB is a huge leap up.

These WD HDD's are for my security system servers and they usually last five to eight years. I prefer to buy from Newegg because I still remember they were the first company to really step up the game, and send my stuff the very next day as promised. Way before am zon, who is just out to put the other guy out of business. Newegg never has sent me junk parts, and has always been my PC parts shipper choice.

Good performance

All the same reasons I continue buying Western Digital drives from NewEgg: easy to order, fast delivery, great packaging and fast installation & formatting.

Installation facile. Produit très fiable.


Good to go


This HDD has plenty of capacity for my security cameras. I switched from a 4TB to a 14TB and now I have months of video storage!

- 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

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

Installed on an Intel 2nd Generation Desktop PC build. Run very quiet and steady. Satisfied with the performance enduring long hours of operation. As a main drive does good. Worth the purchase.

Name Brand, only 1 drive has failed in the last 4 years out of 150-200 drives installed. Def recommend.

This is a good little high quality hard drive for surveillance systems, as the WD Purple line is designed for the high I\O loads encountered in these systems. I used this drive in my custom server chassis Windows based video surveillance machine, and it had no issue with the several lower definition cameras I recorded to it. Since it is only 1TB and I wanted high retention, I am using this drive for only lower definition cameras, but I tested it briefly with several HD streams as well and it performed flawlessly. The drive feels like it’s well built, and it operates cool and quietly. When benchmarking the speed of the drive, I obtained the following results: Average Read Rate: 121.1MB/s (1000 samples) Average Write Rate:: 117.6MB/s (1000 samples) Average Access Time: 19.94ms (1000 samples)

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.)
