BEST SELLERS

In Hard Drive

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

good transfer rate

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.

Much quieter than I expected from the other comments online.

Non so far

-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.

Small profile, stylish with current monitor setup, no hassle operation... it's pretty much just plug and go.

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.

Had it for a week now. I'm using this as a secondary drive so I can game faster from it. Loads a lot faster than my WD Blue. But they're both good drives.

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

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 quiet motor - Quiet head movement - Very little vibration once spun up - Very good throughput

I've been beating the hell out of this drive for the past month and, it has held up marvelously. I purchased this for a new build, one I planned on replacing an older build with and, proceeded to do what any PC gamer would. I immediately transferred over a terabyte of games over to the drive. For a high capacity mechanical drive, it's pretty snappy. I've been running some tests with Nvidia's NVENC codec by recording high bitrate sixty fps gameplay footage to the drive. If anyone's looking for a high capacity drive that can handle recording at 1080p 60fps this is the drive for you. The drive its self is pretty heavy. It feels like a well constructed piece of hardware. I was honestly surprised by its weightiness. If you have a decent case with proper airflow you'll seldom see temperatures above thirty six degrees. It only runs marginally hotter than the one terabyte black I own. I've had an all around positive experience, as is usually the case with Western Digital's drives. I have no idea why so many people are receiving dead drives.

Worked right out of the box. Smaller than previous models.

most trusted HDD
