Overall Review: I have always preferred WD enterprise drives and this was the match for a failed raid disk in my array.
Pros:
-Fast (150-200Mbps sustained transfer speeds).
-High capacity, 9.3TB of usable space on mine with 2 partitions.
-High median time to failure (MTTF), vital for important or large data storage.
-Quiet, my PC sits on the desk and my ear is literally two feet away. I can't hear it.
-Western Digital brand confidence, odds are you are getting a good, tested, quality product
-Bump protection, and other enterprise-grade features.
-Temperatures are warm but not hot.
Cons:
- Expensive, but you get what you pay for.
- I wish the advertised storage space was the actual useable storage space. This is more an industry-wide issue, but 9.3TB/10TB adds up to 700GB of unusable space. That's significant, imo.
Overall Review: I bought this with the intention of storing games, videos, and music because my old 4TB WD Black hard drive had filled up. So far so good. WD has been my go-to company for hard drives for a few years now. They make a decent product, especially their higher-end drives.
Pros: After two weeks appears to be working fine so far as other WD drives I've owned
Cons:
Drive made noticeable clicking sound when formatting and copying files.
Static wrapper was oddly sealed and had pen initials on label. Date of manufacture was November 2019. I purchased in August 2020. Old stock? Refurbished drive?
Overall Review: I'm generally a WD man over many years. First time I got one that made me wonder re seller. Registered this one with WD in case of future issues.
Pros:
Quiet, I didn’t notice any sound coming from it while under full load.
Fast, rated at 269MB/s
Best price per TB
Energy-Assisted Magnetic Recording (EAMR)
Triple State Actuator (TSA)
Helioseal
5 year warranty
Cons:
WD:
Mounting holes are on the side as expected, however there’s one near the front and one near the rear on each side, no mounting holes in the center on either side, so your hard drive cage in your case might not have mounting hole screws that are aligned. Wasn’t expecting that.
Newegg:
Was shipped in a wrapping of air bags, but many of the air bags were deflated during transit / punctured during packaging.
Overall Review: Will probably buy a few more soon for a NAS
Overall Review: Used as a secondary storage. Good price per value.
Pros: Have three of these hard drives, they are very good and fast drives.
Cons: Received hard drive and all it did was click.
Overall Review: This is the first WD Gold hard drive that was defective out of four 4TB and seven 6TB drives I've purchased from newegg.
Pros: Fast for a disc drive
Cons: None so far
Overall Review:
I didn't have luck with the first one that was sent and the rma process took a while. But when I got the new one, it worked great. I have no issues and its a good storage drive. Transfer rates between my nvme drive and this 2tb gold drive are excellent. Right around 900mbs.
I'm very happy with the replacement.
I wish I could give it 5 eggs but for some reason its not letting me

Pros: - Ample storage
- Adequate data transfer speeds
- Large 256MB cache
Cons: - A little noisier than the old WD Gold drives
Overall Review: - I have 4 of the old WD Gold drives, which have been Very reliable.
- These two new drives are replacements for two WD Black 4TB drives, which ran continuously for almost 6 years in my Synology DS1813+ NAS.
