BEST SELLERS

In Hard Drive

I had a NAS drive fail. Was having a battle with the vendor and HDD manufacture about a warranty replacement. I bought this to quickly (new egg shipped it immediately) resolve the issue until I sorted things out with the manufacture and vendor. Still not sorted out after a couple of weeks of back and forth, but good news is this drive is working great.

Did a full format, the memory transfer has been smooth and clean.

-Work well -quiet -should be reliable based on past experiences

Compatible with my motherboard. I've bought several of these for archive purposes.

Arrived on time and formatted right out of the packaging. I'm using it in an external USB enclosure as a backup drive.

Big Best bang for buck value Quiet. I've read reviews whining about noisy hard drives in NAS boxes. My NAS is currently on my desk. I can hear the drive working but they are not loud.

Great value for money, reliable, huge storage

The cost per GB of storage has fallen through the floor. The larger 8TB model has room galore for vast game libraries.

Great Price

high capacity cmr hdd

Great capacity. Fast speed. Run a bit hot so get a fan.

Excellent price. Excellent delivery considering so many items are back-ordered or deliveries are delayed recently. WD Red drives are very reliable. 8 TB will double my current storage capacity.

-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

First impression after starting it on a dock this morning is: What a speedy beast! My fist 8088 PC had a seagate 20MB doing 125 kB/s from an MFM controller. Took 2.5 hours for low-level then DOS format The WD takes less than a day to fill. Wonder what The SAS version does. And got 2 with a 5 year warranty for less than twice the price per TB of 12 unwarrantied 3TB HGST K4000 being auctioned today. Conditional to lasting performance this is a Super Deal! At room temperature they runs the 220 MB/s R/W test at 45 C cool! Since they are 7200 RPM they will probably be OK as spares for my 8*18 TB raid array.

Good capacity and pretty quite even under load.

This drive is still in the box...Purchased for future use,but I have confidence in Seagate drives...Flawless operation of two others thus far...Powered up 24/7/365...Will purchase again...Rapid delivery as the norm...
