Predictable WD reliability.

Just what I wanted.

Lost cost storage Reliable name No issues recognizing drive

-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.

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

Quiet, reliable and cost effective

- It comes in large sizes or small. Spend the money you need for the space you want. - Fastest 7200Rpm HDD I have used. - Low idle power draw. - Writing to a 860 QVO 1TB SDD it uses 100% Black and 30-60% of the SSD. - It replaced a drive from 2013! (WD blue 7200) With no issue. Plugged-in, Disc Management saw it right away, format/Copy files and it's great. All the programs work because I switched the drive letters back to :D :D

plugged in, has worked for the past two weeks. No overt warnings about excessive bad sectors

I would recommend Western Digital HDDs (or even their SSDs, I've got those, too) to anyone needing to expand or enlarge their existing system. Easy to install and configure to your Windows OS.

By MB, the cheapest and reliable HD in the market Will last many years of constant use

For Synology NAS users, the Synology brand drives means easier adoption, less headaches and fewer notifications. The extra small pennies/gb price per GB over other enterprise drives with worth it. No need to worry about compatibility with many features of DSM 7.1

Synology drives are guaranteed compatible and recommended for Synology enclosures.

Huge capacity, very fast

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.

I have not installed it yet so my comment is on the value for 4 TB of storage from a great brand. I plan to use it mainly for backups and C drive images. Speed is not an issue and being a mechanical drive, I hope to get some warning of impending failure years from now vs a sudden SSD failure



This drive is fast, has excellent firmware, and is helium filled. I actually spoke with a firmware developer at WD and he said this is the drive to get (or a larger model).

Outstanding Drive The Absolute Best Brand 5 Year Warranty ( Unbeatable By Every Single Competitor ) Black Series ( Can't Speak Highly Enough ) 1TB SATA III 64MB Cache 7200 RPM

Large Size Works Great Stable Have ordered 100s of WD Gold none have failed so far
