18TB is so big! Well, for now. S.M.A.R.T data is now accessible. Others that I've bought didn't even support the HDD's native self-test routine.


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

- Capacity - Speed - Buffer size - Reliability

I probably have 20 of these drives that are 20TB or bigger. Due to work they are the "floppy drives" of the 2020s.

great hard drive being 6tb is better than there 5tb and really not much bigger can hardly tell the difference as photos show 5tb on bottom

Good to update your sata hard disks, either setting up new drives, partitioning, copying files, imaging and things like that. just lift up the plastic cover which is hinged, slide the drive in and once it's set, you just close the cover and hit the on button.

Good storage size Can still install lots of games

Good capacity and pretty quite even under load.

It is easy to use. Copies fast

I bought this external hard drive for two main reasons. Western Digital quality, storage space and price. I wanted an additional driver with more than double the capacity of my three present drives with over five years on them. It was time to get a back up with greater storage to backup my aging drives. The transfer process has allowed me to cull out duplicate and no longer needed files. Speed is decent but backup storage is more important to me. So far I’m satisfied with price, value, quality and storage space. Peace of mind at the right price. Go out and get one.

This is the unit recommended by our tech support. We had 2 others and needed new ones. Good product for low cost.

Fast shipping. Easy to reformat into 2 volumes for using on my 2018 Mac Mini. Seems fast, hopefully is reliable!


Works great!



cheap and it works great

Install is pretty simple and using is as easy as any other USB device

Well, I expected to return this product because of shipping and handling mishaps...but product was well packaged to absorb any drops, bumps, etc.. Overall product works very good.
