Name Brand, only 1 drive has failed in the last 4 years out of 150-200 drives installed. Def recommend.

Good SSD cooler with one caveat. Comes with several heat pads of different thickness and even includes a mini screwdriver. Installing a single-sided SSD will have no issues whatsoever.

- Capacity - Speed - Buffer size - Reliability


- Fast transfer rates for HDD - Not excessively clicky - Consistent performance and good warrenty

plugged in, has worked for the past two weeks. No overt warnings about excessive bad sectors

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).

Great value for the overall cost

- performance at least 50% better than comparable home-application hard drives - excellent (theoretical) MTBF specs, so reliability should be top-line - built for RAID performance - with a good backup system, a striped setup with two Datacenter Gold drives (RAID 0) achieved performance within 75%-80% of the speed of my Samsung SSD EVO 500GB (the OS drive).

This is no harder to set up than a thumb drive and at a much lower price than a thumb drive of the same storage capacity. And it takes a standard micro-USB to type-A USB cord

Beau bon pas cher

Got , plugged it in, and worked right away, transfer speed is good, fast and so to me was a good buy. WD is a good reliable hardrive, always liked their drives!!

The size of the HD is well worth the price.

Effortless setup and works like a charm. Simplicity itself. At last! Enough space to back up all my old love letters.

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

Stable, quiet, always reliable.

Well, I have to say I am impressed with this hard drive. While I do not have a security setup this drive is running in my main home network computer as a shared storage. Lots of reading and writing to it for storage of music, pictures, movies, and system backups. I have to say it handles all of it with ease. Its very fast even for only being a 5400 rpm hard drive. This drive is faster in reads and writes than my systems 640gb western digital blue 7200 rpm hard drive. With 1 terabyte of storage space it has plenty of room for all my networks needs. On my system it runs at Sata 3gbs speeds I can just imagine how much faster it would be if I had Sata 6gbs ports for it to be connected to. Very quiet drive so far with my experience with it, unlike some drives I have had that you could actually hear operating, when reading or writing to them. Now as I have said I use it for my home networks shared storage device, I can attest to the fact it handles everything, and as such if you set it up for a security systems drive it would handle all your data needs for recording video 24/7. Nice 3.5 inch drive whatever your needs may be.

- easy to install overall -20tb of space will set me up for years -sale price was 50% off

I have not installed it yet so my comment is on the value for 4 TB of storage from a great brand. I plan to use it mainly for backups and C drive images. Speed is not an issue and being a mechanical drive, I hope to get some warning of impending failure years from now vs a sudden SSD failure
