These drives were on the compatibility list for my Synology DS218+ and they came recommended by a trusted IT professional, so I bought two of these drives to add space to my NAS (I was replacing a single 4TB drive). I added the first drive and it added seamlessly to the RAID array. It took a few hours for the NAS to populate the new drive. I was then able to hot swap the second drive. Extremely easy installation (which says as much for the DS218+). It may just be my perception, but these drives feel a little faster than my previous drive.

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.

Performs like it should Fast shipping

Purchased this pdodeuct 3 times All three have worked perfectly.

I've been told these are the most awesome drives for a NAS home server and they are heavy too Setup was very easy and worked as advertised I now have much better uploads and downloads and am completely delighted And will continue to make repurchases from new egg when I expand to a six drive Synology DSM I back up everything I own a Professional weekly website and am an independent film maker and need to back up all my films. since I live in Rural Alaska it takes 5 days from date of shipment and comes to my front door of my log cabin.

- I hammered this drive with a constant 60 - 180MB RW throughput test for a solid 24 hrs. Not a hiccup and nothing bad to report in SMART table after drive scan before or after this burnin test. - Drive temperature topped at 97 degrees F.

Great storage size for the price. Using it now for periodic offline backups. Sustained backup speeds still at 200 MB/s after a month of use. I did place this drive in a USB 10 Gbps external enclosure which shouldn't be a bottleneck for the transfer speeds (but you may see better performance directly on a SATA interface)

Got it running on my synology for plex media!! Running great!! Gets a bit loud but I'm use to it.

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

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

It works. You plug it in to your USB port and away it goes. A pretty good backup program gets installed and you just tell it what you want. What more could you want. The competitive product I had decided it needed all new software which didn't work. You do have to wonder why companies insist on trashing functioning programs with stuff that just doesn't work.

Others have gone into more detail but i run 2 in raid to back up important documents and movies. Nothing that demanding.

I Purchased an 18 Terra and it's great. I only have a usb 3.0 port but still the transfer rate was between 160M and 195M

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.

Zero issues with this drive so far. Been running for a week now and have already used a few TB of data. Got it on sale for $250 which is a great value in June 2025.


- Fast for Magnetic Drive - Quiet

- 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
