Synology drives are guaranteed compatible and recommended for Synology enclosures.

All the same reasons I continue buying Western Digital drives from NewEgg: easy to order, fast delivery, great packaging and fast installation & formatting.

Just what I wanted.

WD BLACK SERIES WD1003FZEX 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Pros: Buy this one if you want a trouble free hard drive. Great warranty, great reliability, and the speed needed!

-VERY quiet -VERY good amount of cache -Great longevity -Great warranty -Nice lower power consumption vs the 7200RPM

-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.

Easy to assemble Works great Drives are running cool thanks to 2 onboard fans

Got these to increase storage size in my Synology NAS. Their list of recommended hard drives included the WD30EFRX, not the ZX, but I decided to chance it anyway and have had no problems. I swapped out a pair of 1 TB drives for a pair of these 3TB drives and the NAS server had no problems with the transfer even though it warned me these weren't "approved" drives. I've only had them for a few weeks so I can't say anything about long term reliability but so far they have done exactly what I wanted.

Good size for a NAS

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

Worked right out of the box. Smaller than previous models.


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

I got it from Newegg who is always great! It's really easy to use and set up on a Mac. Great company!

Lots of storage, ease of install

Low cost for 2TB storage, USB 3.0

7.4K anti-dust SATA to store anything you need

Makes a great secondary harddrive/back-up Easy to install Plenty of space Good price

Twice the size of a wallet, fast, data and power go through a single USB cable provided with the drive. Good price, good performance and with a TB of storage.

ORICO Tool Free USB 3.0 to SATA External Hard Drive Enclosure case for 3.5inch SATA HDD and SSD -Black (3588US3) These low-cost, tool free enclosures are lightweight easy to work with. We have used them: as quick SATA docks for transferring data from old hard drives, as network storage by attaching unit to our router's USB port, as OS boot drive for a Rockstor NAS installation with WD Velociraptor 160gb drives. Being self powered (12V2.5A Power Adapter included) they work well with Raspberry PI computers. Have one attached to Raspberry PI 3 LibreELEC HTPC. It is quick work to connect a hard drive via USB 3.0 - take cover off, slide drive in, put cover back on, connect to USB port, plug in wall wart, and voilà you're in business.
