Used to expand my NAS, arrived promptly and was well packaged. No complaints.

No Problem with these drives. Plug them in, initialize, format and you're off and running. Great 5 year warranty and high duty cycle are the draws here.

Quiet, I didn’t notice any sound coming from it while under full load. Fast, rated at 269MB/s Best price per TB Energy-Assisted Magnetic Recording (EAMR) Triple State Actuator (TSA) Helioseal 5 year warranty

First off, I only buy from Newegg, don't trust the 3rd parties. I order two 16TB drives , two different times. When they were on sale. Second time they came damaged by not being packaged properly. I requested a refund and waited... Wait for it to come through, so I could order two fresh drives. By the time I received my refund, there was only one drive available, came packaged properly. So ,I've got 3 not 4 as I'd like. First pair are over a year old now, no issues, little start up time, not too loud. 3rd and newest drive is great! Will buy again.


-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 drive is still in the box...Purchased for future use,but I have confidence in Seagate drives...Flawless operation of two others thus far...Powered up 24/7/365...Will purchase again...Rapid delivery as the norm...

Lots of storage

Faster than a normal HDD Beats my raptor drive(10kRPM) Boots Windows 8 in < 10 seconds Boots Windows 7 in < 20 seconds Boots Ubuntu Linux in < 10 seconds


reliable and portable, easy setup

Very quiet for a 7200rpm HDD. I have 4 of these in a rack operating RAID10 and I can barely hear it when spooled up.

5-yr mfg. warranty.

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


I bought two of the WD 2TB My Passport Portable Storage external hard drives in red. I plan to keep one at home and the other in my safe deposit box. The red color was more expensive, but it makes backing up files more fun to do! These drives are easy to use, and I did not install the software; I just plugged-and-played. These are the smallest external hard drives I've ever had. The shipment arrived quickly. Thank you!

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

* Excellent performance * Runs quiet * Retail Box (mostly protection and screws) * No problem running in the Orico enclosure * Blue drive will have a higher performance than a green drive

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