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


I would recommend this product to anyone who need a lot of storage space and response from their drive.

Drive works perfectly without unusual noises or any other faults. Did a full drive check and no bad sectors. Good cost per TB when on sale. Long warranty and expected lifespan.


-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.

I am totally satisfied. I hocked it up with no issues

The drive is fast and quiet. 256MB cache. Cost isn't bad.

- An awesome amount of storage for the money spent - Outstanding performance for a mechanical device


• 5 TB in the palm of your hand • Small size • Portable • WD quality

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.

New with 5y warranty, Fast.

- It comes in large sizes or small. Spend the money you need for the space you want. - Fastest 7200Rpm HDD I have used. - Low idle power draw. - Writing to a 860 QVO 1TB SDD it uses 100% Black and 30-60% of the SSD. - It replaced a drive from 2013! (WD blue 7200) With no issue. Plugged-in, Disc Management saw it right away, format/Copy files and it's great. All the programs work because I switched the drive letters back to :D :D


Good vallue, works well with Linux. I've been using the Passport series of drives for many years now.

most trusted HDD

Packaged well. Works like a charm. SMART data looks great. Suggests this is a brand new drive.

Great drives. Ordered 8 and all 8 are working perfectly. They are fully compatible with the Synology Nas DS720+ Dual Bay Drives. I contacted Synology Techs and they recommended these drives even though they are no on the compatibly list. Synology says these are the max drive size for the DS720+ drives.
