Lots of storage

might just be my case, it sits at the bottom in a echo chamber built for two. maybe it wants out!

Got several of these 2TB drives for my latest NAS raid 5 array. They all spun up with no issues, and are reasonably quiet.

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

Good performance for 7200 RPM drives Mostly silent operation Running 24/7 in RAID 1 without issues Good value at 350USD each (you may find a different price) CMR technology, 5-year warranty

Been fast and reliable for me. Have not had one die yet here. Out if the gold.


Shipped by NewEgg, this is a new WD drive in factory packaging. Shows as new drive with full warranty on WD website. Passed all tests with clean SMART. Excellent!

-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.

This is a great hard drive. Its fast and quiet, and I have a lot of confidence in Western Digital drives. Ive been using them fo many years, and have never had an issue with a single one of them.

This drive is fast, has excellent firmware, and is helium filled. I actually spoke with a firmware developer at WD and he said this is the drive to get (or a larger model).

Tons of storage for all the games that I play. Very quiet from what I can tell. I've put it under heavy load and couldn't hear it at all. It's reading and writing speeds are nice no complaints there.

2 tb 7200 rpm

works fine for me

quiet and fast

Sustained 100+ MB/sec real world transfer speeds to and from this drive.

GOING ON 9 MONTHS OF WORKING FLAWLESSLY

HUGE - MASSIVE - RELIABLE

I have put these drives into computers that I build for my customers. I haven't had any failures and some of them are seven years old.

Huge capacity, very fast
