Huge capacity, very fast

Price is unbeatable.

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.

Works great (so far). 200MB/s throughout with my other red nas pro drive.


It's a cute drive. 2TB, very nice, plug it to a USB 3.1 port and it cooks!! I loaded it on a Linux system with the files my wife needed on her work laptop. in Linux it was very fast.

Easy setup and easy copying

- Fast for Magnetic Drive - Quiet

Much quieter than I expected from the other comments online.

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.


It works great. Now I have room for lots of photos. My techy installed it.

Fast reliable


It works as a backup drive. Faster than I thought it would be. Very quiet.


Very quiet, fast and reliable

So far the drive seem to be functioning well, ask again in 6 monthd

18tb of storage is great

The 6 TB version seemed like the best balance between price, size, performance and noise / heat. This is going in a 4 bay NVR which is in a very quiet environment. So far, these drives seem much quieter than the 7200rpm version (during seek) which are being swapped out 1 at a time to allow the RAID rebuilds to catch up. Temps are 10C lower than the 7200 pro version. (37C vs. 47-49C per SMART data.)
