Got 2 of these on sale and perfect for my needs of daily use. Using for picture/video and music storage. Worked out of the box no firmware updates.

Great Price

Lorex DVR D841. Power down, remove original 2TB drive. Place this 8TB drive into the chassis, connect, power up - verify storage - done. An easy upgrade. Smooth - no unexpected issue.

- Reasonably priced - Quiet - Well made - USB 3 - Black - Auto spin-down by default



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

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.)

Honestly for the price, I thought I'd give it a go. My system doesn't have "rgb puke" so this adds nicely to it. Doesn't interfere with the AIO pump or swapping CPU/repasting.

For the past year we have been using this once a month with a 16TB drive to replace tape drive backups of an Ubuntu server - takes less than 10 hours to write almost 4.5 TB over a USB 3.0 connection (one drive holds 3 monthly backups). No issues yet.

Low cost for 2TB storage, USB 3.0

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

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!

quiet and fast

1. Small footprint; 2. Easy to use - typical plug and play; 3. USB C to USB A adapter - crucial for desktops with USB C port at the back (like mine) or laptops without USB C port(s): 4. USB 3.0 - relatively fast data transfer; 5. Nicely shaped, neutral colour, unobtrusive - very elegant design; 6. REASONABLY PRICED - a rarity these crazy days!

Works well, way quieter than a normal external drive Run pretty cool in temp too


We use these drives in all our surveillance systems. High capacity, reliable, and inexpensive.


Nice case design, nicely manufactured and finished. Ease of assembly. Holds up to 36 TB. Name another enclosure that does that.
