Great price when on sale. Huge capacity. Arrived well packaged.

Works great (so far). 200MB/s throughout with my other red nas pro drive.

More storage space

18tb of storage is great

Good capacity and pretty quite even under load.


The cost vs capacity was too good to pass up. I use this HDD as a back up to multiple large drives and it does the job well.

Easy to installno issues!!!

- Bought the 22TB for my NAS Synology 923+ and works perfectly fine - Quite (Unlike I've read in some comments here - probably you got a faulty one) - Easy to install - Package was packed pretty good


The 6 TB version seemed like the best balance between price, size, performance and noise / heat. This is going in a 4 bay NVR which is in a very quiet environment. So far, these drives seem much quieter than the 7200rpm version (during seek) which are being swapped out 1 at a time to allow the RAID rebuilds to catch up. Temps are 10C lower than the 7200 pro version. (37C vs. 47-49C per SMART data.)


Installation facile. Produit très fiable.

This is a good little high quality hard drive for surveillance systems, as the WD Purple line is designed for the high I\O loads encountered in these systems. I used this drive in my custom server chassis Windows based video surveillance machine, and it had no issue with the several lower definition cameras I recorded to it. Since it is only 1TB and I wanted high retention, I am using this drive for only lower definition cameras, but I tested it briefly with several HD streams as well and it performed flawlessly. The drive feels like it’s well built, and it operates cool and quietly. When benchmarking the speed of the drive, I obtained the following results: Average Read Rate: 121.1MB/s (1000 samples) Average Write Rate:: 117.6MB/s (1000 samples) Average Access Time: 19.94ms (1000 samples)

This is a bit hard for even me to believe as I write it, but I have NEVER had a WDC drive fail me. Never. Cannot say that about any other brand. I use the drives connected to a MegaRAID 9265-8i controller with 1 GB cache RAM. In that config, these HDDs can keep up witht he xfer rate of my Samsung 850 EVO SSDs. 500+ MB/s moving large data files form the SSD to the HDD and vice versa.

Bought this on sale $69.99. 750 gb is good space and for the performance well... is a hard drive not a ssd. So Im really happy because its working well, installed windows, and every programs I own, still had not reached 300gb. Still able to play well bf3 and skyrim better than my last hard drive. Will get a ssd later this year.

Very quiet for a 7200rpm HDD. I have 4 of these in a rack operating RAID10 and I can barely hear it when spooled up.

works well so far . drive is truly new with 0 hrs

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