Update: New drive works great; I have about 2OTB stored and filed away for safe keeping. back to 5 stars, fast replacement turnaround.

- 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

I needed a very large external HD for a major family project. After extensive research I decided that WD was the logical choice. So far no problems and hope it stays that way.

I installed two of these in an HPE server for backup, seem to work fine. Ill be adding some more.

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

I use these to store my pc backups.

Installed in DS423+ NAS and they work fine so far. Great price.

Installation facile. Produit très fiable.

This is a bit hard for even me to believe as I write it, but I have NEVER had a WDC drive fail me. Never. Cannot say that about any other brand. I use the drives connected to a MegaRAID 9265-8i controller with 1 GB cache RAM. In that config, these HDDs can keep up witht he xfer rate of my Samsung 850 EVO SSDs. 500+ MB/s moving large data files form the SSD to the HDD and vice versa.

I chose WD for they have never failed me as other drives have failed. I hope to update this review in a couple of years and report on the status of this drive.

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.


Very fast. I'm happy with it.

Great price Quiet



Shipping was much faster than expected

Reliable Cost less than WD drives

18tb of storage is great
