   Use these in a Synology DS1817 NAS box They have been running 24/7 for over a year with no issues. Judging from other reviews these are some of the most reliable drives you can purchase and really well priced at B&H

   Almost half of the WD 14TB drives we have purchased in the last 6 weeks have been defective. The drives will not mount and there is a nasty mechanical sound from inside the drive.

   Replaced an aged (still functional) standard hard drive with no hitch, snarl, or surprise. Works smoothly.

   This drive is very fast! Crystal Disc Mark ratings 64 gb test: Write Speed – 258 MBS, Read – 267 MBS over USB 3! I gave this drive 4 stars as I can’t speak to the longevity of it yet since I just started to use it. I am presently using it as a backup drive in an external enclosure.

   Fast and robust, check in 5 years to see if it lasted, hoping it does.

   I purchased 4 drives. Installed them in a brand new server. 2 of the 4 drives failed upon installation. Downloaded the WD drive tester which could not even locate the drives. DRIVEMGR.MSC could see the drive but could not format it. For Enterprise Class drives, very disappointing~

    I ordered a two pack of these drives in May for expansion of our Synology NAS. We’ve been away from of our of office because of Covid, so I didn’t install the drives until July. One drive worked fine, the other didn’t. SMART info could not be read. Synology’s drive health test reported an Access Error. I went with an Ultrastar Enterprise-Class drive for reliability. They claim a 2M hour MTBF rate. I guess that counts only if it works out of the box. B&H wouldn’t help because the return window had passed so I have to get an RMA from Western Digital, and pay to send it to them. Then, in a couple weeks I might get a used, repaired drive back. This was the hassle I was hoping to avoid.

    I have always chosen former HGST’s Ultrastar for its reliability. As I did a lot of research, I found that the WD Gold Ultrastar HDD, enterprise class, was what I should buy now, rather than WD’s red versions. The 6TB version of Gold Ultrastar is quieter and less power-consuming than 8TB or 10TB version. It’s also a lot quieter than my old 4TB Ultrastar that I purchased about 5 years ago. The power consumption is 7.0W when in operation and only 5.9W when idle. If you need a drive with a higher capacity and a lower power-consumption than this 6TB version, you need to get one with 12TB or more, according to WD’s spec sheet. I would highly recommend this drive.

    Big, fast, quiet, and dependable so far. That’s why I have stayed with WD drives for over 20 years now. Initialized it in Win10, did a quick format and was ready to go.

    Sealed drive with helium means no problem with dust ever. Works as it should.

    I’ve had it for a week. I can’t seriously evaluate it. It must take some time to know about your performance, etc. I have other WD records and they have worked very well for me, that’s why the 5 stars.

    I got this hard drive to put pictures on and to be accessed via a USB enclosure. The performance is great and as expected, but the drive is a bit loud. I should have expected this as it is an enterprise drive and its data sheet details its acoustic levels, but it is still louder than I wanted.

    So far it is working good, it is not completely quiet, but it is quieter than previous WD gold generation, it works cool and looks well made.

    Perfect for cold or hot data storage. Exactly what I expected. Solid Construction.
