- Tons of space - Fast - Extra warranty, extra duty cycle.

First off, I only buy from Newegg, don't trust the 3rd parties. I order two 16TB drives , two different times. When they were on sale. Second time they came damaged by not being packaged properly. I requested a refund and waited... Wait for it to come through, so I could order two fresh drives. By the time I received my refund, there was only one drive available, came packaged properly. So ,I've got 3 not 4 as I'd like. First pair are over a year old now, no issues, little start up time, not too loud. 3rd and newest drive is great! Will buy again.

- While it's not on the compatible hardware list, these drives work well with the Netgear RN314 NAS system. - Really fast!

I would recommend Western Digital HDDs (or even their SSDs, I've got those, too) to anyone needing to expand or enlarge their existing system. Easy to install and configure to your Windows OS.

Flawless performance after running 24/7 for two years.

Fairly quiet- not as loud as the "Hyperscale" version Unbeatable $/GB 220+MB/s sustained write speed

Good capacity and pretty quite even under load.



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.)

Rapido y seguro

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


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!

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

I bought this for my media center (TV tuner card can record 4 high def shows at once). Data transfer to replace my old drive (I needed more room) was fast and the drive is quiet. This seems like a great fit for my needs.


Works great

Well made, formattted easily and handles the IP camera system perfectly NEW EGG thank you for excellent customer support (see cons)
