-Light, runs very cool, 32-36°C during intense R/W disk initialization hours on end. -Mind-blowing $/GB/Performance value (SAS) over SATA versions of these drives, especially since you can get a SAS HBA for dirt cheap. -The SAS versions are $235 cheaper than SATA at this time. You can get a SAS HBA with the money you saved by buying just 1 drive!



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.


Works as intended.


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

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!

In very few drives it gives you a whole lot of space. Some reviews say it's loud, but I can't hear it over the slight humm of the fans on my NAS.

Does not throttle under heavy load or copying large file.


Running this drive is ESXi file server. Storing Veeam backup data on. Using Deduplication. Finished transferring 14tb image back to drive. Was able to hold 1.8-2.1 Gbps write speed.

buy wrong format hard drive, exchange for me and send it to me in next day

Consistently see over 125MB/s read and write, great performance.



The drives worked despite the packaging. They all passed the exercise process that takes days. Great system NAS drives

Worked perfectly after installation.
