One of largest drives on the market. Meant for 24/7 operation. Quiet. Works well in my NAS. No errors found on drive.

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

- Great price for a good deal of storage - Initialized quickly

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

Good storage size Can still install lots of games

20Tb capacity and on sale at a reasonable price. CMR thus suitable for virtually all workloads. Be aware the Exos drives have a higher TBW rating (data transferred per year) so in some applications this MAY matter. In mine it doesn't. Plenty of experience with this series in different capacities, thus far no complaints or issues.

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

Really fast.

I upgraded my Synology NAS with these drives. They werent on Synologys compatible list, but I used them anyway. I trust the WD Red brand. Ive been using the Red brand for 10 years with no data loss. Only time will tell if these new drives hold up. They seem zippy. I got a great price from NewEgg, so I would definitely recommend them.

Just plug it in. Software simple to setup. Once setup, simple to use.

Good price, quiet, easy configuration

Synology drives are guaranteed compatible and recommended for Synology enclosures.

- Finally enough storage! - Fast, works great, no hassles, no issues

- fast memory - affordable - reliable

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

-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.

Doing LLM training and needed to use a 35TB training file and 3TB validation file. Used 3 of these drives to create a RAID 0 drive with approx 54TB capacity. (this is on Ubuntu and formatted with XFS file system since usual EXT4 tops out at about 16TB file size.) Works great and much faster than a single drive would be due to the striping of RAID 0.

This was an excellent value at $209 vs the amount of space. Fast, seems to run cool, backed up my database for the safe keeping as you never know when those 4tb drives are going to say that's it and start blowing errors. This drive having 14tb allowed me to back up most of my NAS.

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