Since I purchased a very high resulution digital camera I have been consiming hard disk space at an alarming rate. My Western Digital 12Tb UltraStar to the rescue. I used my StarTech docking station to handle all the disk activation and copying. Once I copied all files from my old 4Tb photo drive to the new 12Tb drive using Windows Explorer I just swapped drives and their power and signal plugs and my updated system was ready to go. Very simple, very quick, very nice.

I’ve only the had the most recent drive running 261 hours now with no issues. I have two others with over 2,000 hours. It was exhaustively tested by my Synology NAS when installed and again when loading it half full right away. It just works.

Have been using Hgst drives for years. The quality and MTBF keeps me coming back to them.

I put two of these 12TB drives in a Synology DS418 NAS enclosure and configured them in RAID1. It’s also populated with two 10TB Ultrastar drives. I couldn’t be happier with them!

Ease of initializing and formatting installing, storing, media, pictures, and videos.

I have two of these drives in a Synology NAS. Very nice drives and so far very reliable. I liked the fact these have a 5 year warranty where the others only have 3. They are a little bit loud but to be expected with an Enterprise drive.

Very nice HDD , less heat, less noise that WD Gold, great value to back your files

I do music, video and photography. I ordered a pair of these Ultrastar 12TB drives to replace a pair of Seagate 4TB drives that were full. Installation was painless. Configured to RAID1, copied data from old drives using Windows Explorer. Everything running great. At my current data usage, I expect to use these for the next 3-4 years. I found this page at the HGST web site. I was able to check the warranty status of new drives by entering serial #. It appears you don’t have to register the drives. Just keep your receipt for a potential warranty claim. I do this for business reasons anyway. Hope this helps. https://www2.hgst.com/portal/site/en/support/warranty/

Great and it’s work good. Somewhere in Africa (Ghana)

I bought this to replace a 7-year old Seagate (7200 rpm 1TB) that crashed on me last week. I’ve no complaints about the lifespan of that drive, but saw better reviews for WD (that, and I had a second same-age Seagate drive die within two days). Swapping this drive out for the old one was a breeze, and no complaints thus far. The drive isn’t noisy, and I’ll see how this one holds up.

This drive is very noisy and runs hot, I am going to have to put a fan on it. I didn’t get near 8 TB, but I guess that is the way they rate hard drives today.

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.

I’ve had good luck with both Deskstar and Ultrastar drives over the last 8 years, in fact they all still function, so that was my natural choice, these are used in a NAS that runs 24/7. Some people have said they are noisy, while they might be a little noisier than IronWolf or EXOS drives, the difference is very minimal and not an issue unless the drive sits right next to you all day long.

Choose WD Ultrastar 10TB for my new Ryzen 3900X CPU and X570 Aorus Master MB custom build after excellent experience w WD Black 5TB and 6TB drives on a previous custom build. After nearly 5 years of heavy use photo editing (Adobe LR and PS, some video editing), SMART tests on these Black drives are excellent. The load cycle rating of these enterprise Ultrastar is multiples of these ratings for the Black drives. Furthermore, they are recommended by some very prestigious custom PC builders!

Revising previous 4 star review. I had to return the hdd because after copying some files to it, it continued to spin continuously for hours…even though it wasn’t being accessed. It was impossible to stop the spinning, and the spinning noise was loud and intolerable. I’ve ordered a Seagate exos drive to try out as a replacement.

I buy only WD hard drives and not even one failed. This one is very fast and quiet comparing to the WD RE I still have running…
Alice Pollich (verified owner) –
It’s working as good as it shows, minus one star due to there is one HDD is not working in the original delivery but B&H does replace very quickly
Hermina Gutmann (verified owner) –
I have a giant stack of these. They are functional for all different purposes, especially nice in a raid.

I bought these drives to replace WD Red Pro 3TB tjst are starting to age out in my two synced NAS boxes ( Synology DS415+ that I love). Have only had to install two in the last weeks and they came up right away after full surface checks. They run quietly, but that’s an individual perception.

I hope this is not a sign of things to come. One of the four does not even show up in Mac OSX or Window 10. I have had excellent reliability with the HGST Ultrastars for 6 years now (4TB and 10TB) so hoping that this is a one time thing. The 5 years warranty is good but even better is my double redundancy.
