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

Can be used as is. No pre-format required. just replace the defective HDD and restore RAID

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.

Best Hard Drive made as far as I reliability, longevity and performance!


-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.

A good size and it is FAST.

- Ample storage- Adequate data transfer speeds- Large 256MB cache

The right amount of space, the drivers had to be installed after first boot and login, that had no problem, was able to install Linux Mint 19 from Live USB on it, ext4, root, swap and, home partition


Easy to set up, good value

This drive is fast, has excellent firmware, and is helium filled. I actually spoke with a firmware developer at WD and he said this is the drive to get (or a larger model).

- Fast benchmarks - 5 year warranty - Enterprise grade - Affordable

Easy install Good size


I bought two of the WD 2TB My Passport Portable Storage external hard drives in red. I plan to keep one at home and the other in my safe deposit box. The red color was more expensive, but it makes backing up files more fun to do! These drives are easy to use, and I did not install the software; I just plugged-and-played. These are the smallest external hard drives I've ever had. The shipment arrived quickly. Thank you!

most trusted HDD

Big enough to store all my stuff with room to spare.

The best feature of this drive is how quiet it is. In my personal testing the performance is equal to or better than the x20 and it is a little bit less expensive. Going forward this will be my goto 20 tb hard drive. Hopefully its reliable as the x20 going forward.
