Decent price for large storage. Faster than smaller capacity hard drives. Using it as a temporary drive for offline storage and backup. Drive was well-packed; inside bubble wrap, and then in a box within a box.

quiet, large capacity

I have 2 drives and they work great. Very fast and you can't even hear them running over the rest of the system. I'm very happy with them.

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.

Easy to install. Plug and play.

No Problem with these drives. Plug them in, initialize, format and you're off and running. Great 5 year warranty and high duty cycle are the draws here.

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

No bad sector Works as advertised Competitive price (paid 200$) for the capacity (8TB)

Works as expected in my Synology two drive NAS using RAID 1 (Mirrored) solution. I cannot complain, my previous drive died after 8 yrs so I am going again with WD RED solution.

I own 3 of these, all in a Synology DS1812+ with some other drives. All of these drives passed their initial verification check, and continue to function well over a month later. My Synology has been running 24/7, however I set it so the software spins down the disks after an hour of idle time, to conserve energy, the only downside is these disks take around 5-10 seconds to fully spin back up and become readable. These drives come with a good 3 year warranty, which is longer than many drives out there and are designed for 24/7 operation in confined environments with other disks.

Works great, had a dead drive, but the three others I got were great. Trouble free replacement on the bad drive. Glad I bought from a reputable source.

Non so far

- performs well

1. Value. This is the price/performance & STORAGE SIZE ‘sweet spot’ for a good all around 'system boot' or main drive to run your Operating System and programs. You simply can not beat it for the money. 2. Speed . The WD10EZEX is among the fastest HD’s on the market in actual read speed and throughput due to their super high areal density – ‘single platter’ design. 3. Dependable. It’s Western Digital. USA corp since 1970. 2 yr warranty. Tried and true designs. 4. Did I mention it’s quiet? I tested it in External USB 3 and ESATA docks and you can not hear anything even from a couple inches away. You can put your ear right against it and all you hear is a very low hum. Using ‘NoTouch™ ramp load technology, the heads actually float over the disks. Building a Home Theater Pc or want a totally silent drive? Here you go.

Very Fast. At 8 TB it is just the right size for me to not grow out of for a while.

Its easy to plug. Got 2 tb

Easy to install. Very fast with 512 cache. Works great. No noise when I use. Very nice.

Does what it's supposed to do. Simple Installation.

-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.

I ordered three of these drives so far and they have worked exceptionally well on my Synology NAS (ds1823xs+). While they are being accessed, they are certainly audible, but not noisy enough to cause a problem. I have already written around 15 TBs to each drive without any issues. Two of the drives are in a raid 1 configuration for redundancy. If I ever need more capacity, I wouldn't hesitate to order two more of these.
