Faster than a lot of portable Hd's I've had.

Easy to install and use.


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.)

- Drives are fairly quiet compared to Seagate drives - Passed SMART tests on arrival

I had one of these go bad after many years and I had replaced it with 3 if these as all backup HDD's

Big enough and then some, to back up data off my laptops

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

Well made, formattted easily and handles the IP camera system perfectly NEW EGG thank you for excellent customer support (see cons)

Looks great. Works as intended. Easy to install and set up.

Massive amount of storage

Easy and quick to remove or insert drives-toolless. It is both eSATA or USB 3.0 interface. Computers instantly recognize it, just plug it in and turn on computer for eSATA or hot plug the USB

Low cost for 2TB storage, USB 3.0

- Needed 36TB storage pool created from 2x18TB spanned disk array - Easy to setup and format as "one large partition" with MiniTool Partition Wizard


This HDD has plenty of capacity for my security cameras. I switched from a 4TB to a 14TB and now I have months of video storage!

I rely on these drives for my work PCs, and have trusted WD black going back to the Velociraptor days 20 years back. Only issue I had on latest purchase, was defective drive that had been cut open and repackaged to look like a new return but was defective with "cyclic redundancy error." Luckily Newegg shipped me a fast replacement and that worked first try, as per usual. Whew!


Fits into my PS4 Pro
