These drives were on the compatibility list for my Synology DS218+ and they came recommended by a trusted IT professional, so I bought two of these drives to add space to my NAS (I was replacing a single 4TB drive). I added the first drive and it added seamlessly to the RAID array. It took a few hours for the NAS to populate the new drive. I was then able to hot swap the second drive. Extremely easy installation (which says as much for the DS218+). It may just be my perception, but these drives feel a little faster than my previous drive.

It's a decent drive for it's money. It's nice to have all my media on one drive.

these where my first 12 tb disk ever in my life ands im just starting into NAS storage

Price & delivery were great - works for the home Syn NAS. Both are quiet and responsive.

Cheap but high quality

The spec sheet. The packaging,,, Nice!

Reasonably priced Great writing speeds for a spinning hard drive Quiet

Received drive where it was in a frame in center of box which was in a semi secure Newegg box. Plugged in drive into old mediasonic probox that was rated for 8tb drives. Worked fine. Ubuntu says you have to format that 16tb size as GPT and that worked fine. Over 14tb usable space. Temp of drive is similar to my 4 and 8tb WD red drives and is much cooler than the 10tb WD Plus drive. Speed was high at around 200MB transfer rates. Noise was slightly higher than the 4tb WD drives, but still low. Drive is new, not used, not recertified. Manufacture date is March 2023 which is when the warranty starts, so not very long ago.

- Fast for Magnetic Drive - Quiet

Good price Lots of space Solid performance. I ran them in a Raid 1 configuration most of their life and never had any slowness issues.

WD drives have been very good! I needed a 3TB drive to replace one that failed in my server! This one was on sale and I have had very good success with WD drives!

ordered over the holidays and received it in a couple of days

Simple to install and works perfectly.

- I hammered this drive with a constant 60 - 180MB RW throughput test for a solid 24 hrs. Not a hiccup and nothing bad to report in SMART table after drive scan before or after this burnin test. - Drive temperature topped at 97 degrees F.

240+MiB/s sequential write speed while connected to a USB3 dock. Came very well packaged.

-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.

8tb hard drive that works

Good to go

This hard drive is just what I needed to save documents, pictures, etc. Cloud services are getting expensive and this fulfilled all my needs. Price was excellent, service is always great with Newegg.....happy customer!!!
