-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.

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

Lots of storage, ease of install


Had a great deal for 279/ea Black Friday. Fast, perfect set of drives so far, just wish I could have bought 4 instead of the limited 2.

Will do exactly what it was design for. I use 2 of these in a RAID 0 configuration in a Ugreen NAS and it works just fine.

Works as intended Price was right Replaced an older failed drive Fast RAID rebuild with new drive


Speed 250 MBytes + per sec. Reliable just as WD Black HDD are. So far so good after 1 month.

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

-the CMR is more expensive than the other western digital of same size, but faster. -Peek speed with multiple files I hit 200mb/s


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