I use to edit a lot of 4K and 6k footage and the disk has worked great for me.

Recommissioning an old server with new drives, they worked perfectly as expected

I’ve been upgrading the drives in my Drobo to these. They are fast and extremely reliable.

Ordered two 12 TB disks at a good price and delivered them right away. Nice job!

Not a great confidence boost.

The WD Ultrastar Data Center rated drives are heavy. You can feel the quality. If you’re debating between a Data Center drive and a less expensive one, consider how important your data is, and the cost of failure. These drives are built to last.

I have a few of these and so far no issues. We will see within 5 years if they keep going strong.

The drive is a retail drive as B&H states. Ive loaded about 6TB of data on the drive without issue. A check of the drive using CrystalDiskMark indicated about 250MB/s when I checked the bare drive. Its 214.8MB now so note that depending on where you read or write from the drive performance may be impacted.. The drive is very quiet at rest. You can hear some clicking on occasion when it writes, which I was doing a lot of, but this is not uncommon for one of these drives. I am giving a good rating even though Im in no position to judge that right now. I will follow up in a few months with an update. The disk came bubble wrapped and there was no damage. The disk would shift in the box when you picked it up, so I would suggest to B&H that when they pack it they place it in the box so it wont shift.

Got mine a few weeks ago and no issues so far. These do the same clicking that the old HGST drives did but those are still fine as well. Very fast drive too!

Bought a four pack of these during most recent sale. Came sealed and well-packaged in four individual retail boxes within the original manufacturer’s four-pack box. Fill Volume with DiskTester revealed very consistent read and write speeds with no evidence of malfunction. Average Read/Write speeds (using Mac file system) over the entire disk was ~ 185 +/- 35 MiB/s for all four drives. All four now installed in TB3 Thunderbay as SoftRAID RAID-4. Running smoothly and quietly. Should have bought a fifth drive while on sale as a backup volume should one of the four drives in the RAID fail. Will probably pay the extra $50 for that mistake. Saved enough by using the PayBoo card to more than cover the difference between sale and non-sale prices though.. Excellent service from B&H as always.

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

Great value based upon B&H’s price at time of purchase. No issues. Slightly more noisy than WD Black drives, but quieter than HGST NAS drives.

5 star for the drive performance: installed the drive, and the data transfer is fast as expected. 3 star for the drive noise: the drive is a bit loud when during read/write I give 1 star because over all experience with Western Digital: I wasn’t able to register the product with WD’s online Product Warranty Registration site (at https://support.wdc.com/support/productregistration.aspx). The site does not recognize the serial number. Call the WD support, waited for 30+ minutes, and finally got to a support representative, opened a case, and was asked to send in my proof of purchase and a picture of the drive’s serial number (which by now had already been installed). I was told that the serial number on the box that came with the drive is will not be accepted. So I now have to crack open computer case and remove the drive the take a picture. I SHOULD HAVE READ OTHER COMMENTS GIVEN BY OTHER REVIEWERS.

I’ve been using UltraStar drives for over a decade, sourcing them from B&H the last several years. These drives have proven rock solid reliable. I’ve never had one fail until two days ago when one of eight 14TB drives arrived DOA out of the box. Of course, B&H is replacing it with no questions asked. That said, I was struck by the age of the drives I received this time. Normally when I receive UltraStar drives, they are pretty fresh with manufacturing dates only a few months earlier than their arrival at my door. Not these 14TB models. They’ve been sitting around since October of 2019. Is that why one arrived DOA? I can’t say. I just offer this up as a data point. The 14TB size is currently being offered at a significant discount.

This is the fourth 8TB HGST heritage Ultrastar drive in my inventory. The first two were Hitachi branded, the last two were Western Digital branded though the third one had a WD label, but the firmware reports an Hitachi heritage model number. I’ve been happy with the performance of the drives and I’ve had no failures. I use two of these disks to archive video and audio projects with identical copies on two backup disks stored in a different location in containers. Since I edit on solid state disks, I have a drive power switch that allows me to keep these disks powered off until I need to backup the project. WD has changed the bottom mounting screw pattern to the traditional 3.5 hard drive pattern. HGST Ultrastars had an unusual pattern that probably worked for large OEMs selling into the data center market, but was a poor fit for my particular case mounting methodology. Now, I keep the WD Ultrastars in the machine and use the older HGST drives for offline backup.

Purchased quantity 4 and 3 arrived DOA. Returned all for replacement. Second batch of 4 had 2 DOA and one with less than stellar startup. Returned all again and decided to try a different brand/model. I don’t know if these were just a bad batch or bounced really hard during shipping. But B&H resolved the issues to my satisfaction. Can’t say ‘I loved it’ or ‘hate it’ – thus the 3 stars

Got two of these for my new Synology DS218+. Work flawlessly.

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~

This is originally Hitachi brand. I was expecting Western Digital hard drives.
Micheal Kuhic (verified owner) –
I bought these to replace 6 year old Western Digital Reds and ended up deciding to buy another Synology NAS to minimize worry about hardware failure. I demoted the old NAS to an occasional backup that would be turned off most of the time (one 3 tb Red just recently failed at 50K hours). That sets up an easy and unfortunately compelling comparison: these drives are much noisier than the virtually silent Reds in the old NAS. The reason I bought these drives is that around the net Red reviews vary substantially. These, of course, aren’t reviewed much yet. Fingers crossed and somewhat remorseful.
