Works like it is supposed to work.

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.

These are great drives. I see a lot of reviews that say these drives were DOA or failed early. I can tell you I did a lot of research before I purchased these drives to build my raidz1 (Free NAS). I was really skeptical if I wanted these drives as the WD green drives have not received good reviews at all. I have been using mine since July of this year (6 months) and they are performing fantastically. It also seems that the failure/DOA rate is higher here at then at other sites and part of that may be due to the fact they are poorly packaged.

This is why I go to Newegg for my hard drives as described works perfectly and was new

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

Operate quietly in nas

Sped my NAS up

Easy setup and great value. Fast shipping too.

This was a replacement for a DOA after purchasing several drives. Not Newegg fault. Seagate should QC better. Newegg got my replacement out same day I sent back, total return time was 2 business days. FAST AS HELL. Excellent service. And the drive works perfectly now with the others. And the price was excellent for the storage. Transfer speed is better than 200MB/S. 14.5 GB formatted space. Great value.

Good R/W speed for an HDD Inexpensive Shipped quickly

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

Great for archival storage.

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.

These WD Red drives are built for the home user NAS systems. I am amazed at how quiet and low vibiration these drives are. They do also run cooler than other companies HDD.

- about half the width; one-third the height of old 5TB external drive - no wall-wart power supply needed; powered entirely by USB - very quiet

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

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

Top notch performance for a spinning disk drive Built a massive 60TB array in just a couple days through USB 3.0 (that's pretty good) These don't seem to be the green drives that can corrupt RAID arrays They do power down by my RAID enclosure's instructions, but power up quickly when commanded to do so One bad drive out of five, but replaced by Newegg with a good one one

Synology drives are guaranteed compatible and recommended for Synology enclosures.

I bought two of the WD 2TB My Passport Portable Storage external hard drives in red. I plan to keep one at home and the other in my safe deposit box. The red color was more expensive, but it makes backing up files more fun to do! These drives are easy to use, and I did not install the software; I just plugged-and-played. These are the smallest external hard drives I've ever had. The shipment arrived quickly. Thank you!
