Cheapest 20tb+ external HD on the market per tb. Large storage size. Small physical size.


Installed on a Synology DS216J NAS. I've read others complaining about noise but I haven't experienced anything yet. I ordered two, both were packaged professionally (not just bubble wrap) - these came in individual boxes with the molded end holders like you might receive working in a data center from a big vendor like IBM. Speed is deceiving, it says 5400RPM but when I looked the model up (WD10ERFX), seems to be variable speed (some kind of intellipower technology) - supposedly these can adjust up to 7200RPM if called upon. Maybe all RED drives have intellipower which is great if your workload calls on it; save on power and get speed when you need it!

good service as always from NewEgg.

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

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

Good performance for 7200 RPM drives Mostly silent operation Running 24/7 in RAID 1 without issues Good value at 350USD each (you may find a different price) CMR technology, 5-year warranty

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.

Just bought my third Barracuda -- though the other two are working just fine. One 320GB it has been powered up for fourteen years, error-free. The other, an 8TB like this one, I don't know how long, but working fine.

Works as expected in my Synology two drive NAS using RAID 1 (Mirrored) solution. I cannot complain, my previous drive died after 8 yrs so I am going again with WD RED solution.

Does the trick

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


Quiet, fast, always recognized quickly

This drive is fast, has excellent firmware, and is helium filled. I actually spoke with a firmware developer at WD and he said this is the drive to get (or a larger model).

I bought these to max out my old 16tb NAS. I still use the 3tb's I replaced as stand-alone backups. If these 4tb's last as long in my NAS (9 years) I will be very pleased.


Tons of space and lots of speed.

The drive worked right out of the Newegg box, bios detected it, the OS disk management system allocated it and gave it a name. I tested its performance and I got the results I expected with a hard drive. It reads faster than it writes but I was getting closer to the bandwidth limit than I expected. Have an Intel Optane 32gb module I use, swapped it to this drive and cloned over the same apps, a slight to modest up tick in the numbers. Other HD is 5200 RPM so rotational latency is higher. The drive works like it should, gives you close to max numbers as just a sata drive, has been flawless tied to the Intel module and there, the performance is near M2 3x4 drive like.

Got three of these and threw them in a Synology NAS. I LOVE THEM. They run 24/7 and stay cool. In a RAID 0 setup, I'm able to pump full gigabit speeds. I've added dual link aggregation for the NAS on my network, and I've been able to pump around 200 megabytes per second maximum to various machines around the house. They come with cool stickers.
