Worked right out of the box. Great price. Lots of storage space. Normal form factor (not bigger than any other HDD in my server)

It runs quietly not much heat.

Hard Drive is definetely faster than my 4 years old Barracuda. Perfect for my Plex Server.

These disks are extremely fast and reliable.

Good price

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

20Tb capacity and on sale at a reasonable price. CMR thus suitable for virtually all workloads. Be aware the Exos drives have a higher TBW rating (data transferred per year) so in some applications this MAY matter. In mine it doesn't. Plenty of experience with this series in different capacities, thus far no complaints or issues.

I upgraded my Synology NAS with these drives. They werent on Synologys compatible list, but I used them anyway. I trust the WD Red brand. Ive been using the Red brand for 10 years with no data loss. Only time will tell if these new drives hold up. They seem zippy. I got a great price from NewEgg, so I would definitely recommend them.

Fast, quiet, reliable

I love it, it makes my life easier and faster.

Easy setup and easy copying

Works when plugged in Isn't broken (like my old one)

8tb hard drive that works

More storage space

Good size for a NAS

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

good transfer rate

-Transfer rates are good - average a little over 200MB/s, drive to drive on the same LSI HBA on Unraid if it matters. -Temperature is good - average 30C in a 20C room during continuous transfer of files, about the same as a 6TB (WD6003FFBX), and about 5C lower than a 10TB (WD102KFBX). Idle temp is ~26C. This drive and comparables are in the same server/array. - Noise is relatively low, about the same as a 6TB and noticeably more quiet than the 10TB. - Cost per TB is good when on sale, very close to the largest 18-22TB rate.

I've got 10 of these, and each one has worked flawlessly from intital turn on, to partitioning and format. No noises, no DOAs, just a lot of useful space. Not a commercial drive, says Seagate, but for home use, it is an amazing amount of storage for not a lot of money.

High capacity with very quiet operation. Sale price was great too!
