my last set of WD hard drive is 6 years old and have over 10 years worth of data transfer from other hard drives, even though the old one still works great i feel like it was a good time to replace my old ones with 2 of these . over all i hope these will last just as long as my last hard drives, these hard drives does not run when you not accessing the folders and whenever you click on the drive you can hear a click and the motor ramping up . theres about 3 second delay before able to access the drives


I rely on these drives for my work PCs, and have trusted WD black going back to the Velociraptor days 20 years back. Only issue I had on latest purchase, was defective drive that had been cut open and repackaged to look like a new return but was defective with "cyclic redundancy error." Luckily Newegg shipped me a fast replacement and that worked first try, as per usual. Whew!


The drive was delivered very promptly, within two days. It was a new drive, still unopened, and passed all tests. Note that these are not the latest production run, mine was dated 2013, but this is no problem in my view. These are quality drives with no prior usage.

Good price, lots of storage space, no lags

works well so far . drive is truly new with 0 hrs

Nice and quiet in my Synology NAS. Read and write speeds seem appropriate given the SATA interface in the NAS and the devices I'm transferring from.


I like the fast response from seller after sale


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

The product arrived quickly and was well packed. Seems to be working fine

Price and size. Cache works for intended use.

- Works great in Unifi UDM-PRO - Just put it in the tray (no screws needed) and pop the tray in - Make sure it the model number is on Unifi Protect compatible device list (this one is)


Factory sealed in ESD bag

The first one I bought here on 8/2/2011,It just started giving me fits 8/4/2018. Its been running for 7 year's, Kudos's WD

I bought 2 of these drives to run inside a home theater PC case. I could always here the previous drives (WD) spinning. These slow spinning Seagate drives are just what I wanted. Very quiet and the temps stay very low. I run these drives using Intel SATA RAID 1 off the motherboard controller. No problems after 40 days of heavy use copying 50GB files to and fro.

I received a bare "OEM" drive, as I would expect based on the description. You too will receive no cables, or any software, but that is OK. Seagate makes drive installation easy with Seatools that you can download for free from their site and run on a USB stick or burn to CD/DVD media. The drive itself is 3.5" form factor, the dimensions and other basic specifications are listed here. its 2TB unformatted, so just like your file cabinet could hold 2 million or trillion pages without folders, this could hold its full 2TB, but to work right it needs formatting for the system its installed in, so you end up with around 1.81TB of useable space on a Windows system. Its advanced 4K clusters, when the drive natively stores data it has to store them in segments, and for years drives and Operating Systems used smaller segments. Since data has grown, storage size needed to grow, and smaller segments were not efficient. Its Sata III interface, which allows for higher burst data rates, but is not saturated by the drive's read and write capabilities. Speed. The main factor in many purchasing choices. Multiple passes of HD Tune Pro shows the following. Read 212MBps Peak uncached. Average 156MBps uncached Lowest 122MBps uncached. Burst 212MBps uncached Average seek time was around 13-14ms, lower than advertised. I mention uncached, as that is the speed of the heads writing and writing to the platters, not using the 64MB of buffer or cache memory. It shows what the drive is truly capable of. With the buffer enabled the cached read/write speed varies depending on what is already in the buffer for files, but it was between 200 and 320MBps. Filling the Que length up to 32 showed the drives 64MB of cache and logic was well matched up, the drive never stalled even when performing reads and writes of a mix of mismatched small 1Kb and 64Kb files. the drive exhibited no noise beyond what I would consider normal in operation and wake. It was running much cooler than the 750GB drive it replaced. All in all it is a solid product.*
