8tb hard drive that works

quiet and fast

These drives provide high density capacity in a standard 3.5 inch HDD footprint. The cost per T is around the same as lower capacity desktop drives. The MTBF indicates these drives should last many years. They are pretty quiet also...and run fairly cool.

Great Price

reliable, quiet, no issues

-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.

Fast shipping. Item as described and works with no issues. Easy to use, plug and play. Some people say these external drives are loud, I can't hear anything. It took about 2 hours to copy and write 1.7 tb. The average speed was around 300 mb/sec. I don't have this plugged in all the time. I only use it for a hard external copy of the storage drive on my pc ( I have a OS drive and a storage drive) After the files are updated on the external drive I unplug the drive.

High capacity Fast Quieter than competitors

So far, so good - this little drive has been magic. Hooked it up several times with no issues whatsoever.

5 year warranty, most of the rest are 3 at best. Good performance / price.


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.

Price and size. Cache works for intended use.

WD Black are simply the BEST HD's IMHO. Reliable & fast. 5-year warranty & excellent customer service. Single 1TB platter. Installation is always a snap!

- Works as promised. So far so good.


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.
