Easily added it to my tower for an extra 6GB. Runs very quietly. This is the third WD Ultrastar I’ve purchased; the other two are 4GB each, and they’ve been running reliably in the same tower for over two years. Very fast data transfers!

Not a great confidence boost.

I have 4 of them in RAID 10………….. they rock !!

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.

I purchased two of these from B&H to replace my 6-year-old Seagate Hybrid HDD’s. Well priced at $175 apiece and they appear to be working just fine. Ask me in 6 months and again in 1 year. The drives, however, a 5-year limited warranty so if something goes wrong I can RMA them with WD!

Good value for price. Use it for large back up’s in NAS system.

Price was the lowest around. Product came sooner than I expected in very good shape.

I couldn’t get this drive to boot up in my recently purchased 2-DRIVE DOCK USB 3.1 G2/USB 3 10GB/S. I have another dock, and it doesn’t boot up in that one either. I have other drives, and they all work in both docks. I’ll be returning it.

Need large drive for video files. Easy install in my HP 840Z workstation. Works great.

I ordered a couple more of these when they were on sale. So far so good, no issues. Customer service was excellent as well price matching the one I did buy right before the sale.

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.

Retail version, in a box as shown – 5 year warranty registration is valid at WD’s site – no OEM no-warranty shenanigans at B&H. These are no louder than any other spindle drive, and perform well in a Dell T130. That’s a tower server with a big echo-y box right under my desk – so.. these are pretty quiet. 8TB of storage for 5 years for this price? Good deal. A single 4TB SSD at the time of this writing is double the cost of this 2 pack. If you have the trays available, and need the space for VMs or media, this pack should be on your list. Recommended.

Got 6 of these drives to upgrade in my NAS replacing old 4TB drives. They came well packaged and I ran badblocks on all of them which took ~6 days to complete all 4 passes and comparisons. All of them passed with no errors and have been up and running for a 3-4 weeks 2/7 with no issue.
Lelia Ruecker (verified owner) –
I bought these drives to go in my new NAS because I’m hope they are as reliable as my 7 year old 4TB HGST drives. They are a louder than the old model but they are quick.

Okay, maybe it’s pushing it to call them a bargain, but I bought two of these big boys to place in my CyperPowerPC gamer desktop computer to handle the large RAW photography files that I’m often processing in Lightroom. I use the one WD 10TB Ultrastar SATA Series drive for my photo work in process, then use the second drive as a backup. I own a few Western Digital external backup drives and lots of SanDisk (owned by WD) memory cards, so I respect WD.

I have purchased mostly WD drives in the past and I think that the performance for this hard disk drive is great, and reliability appears the same. I purchased this drive to replace a smaller one in my Synology NAS, and the SMART tests show a clean bill of health. Some of the reasons I purchased this drive was that I felt the price/TB value proposition for an enterprise class drive is really great. Also, the 2.5M hours MTBF and a 5 year limited warranty was really appealing to me as well. Like I said, this replaced a disk in my NAS, so as far as noise I have not really noticed a difference from before I replaced it. Out of the drives in my NAS, it is the one running the coolest at 32c at idle. I have only had this drive for a little over a month, but I love WD drives and I would not hesitate to purchase one again.

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.

Purchased several. Used in primarily in a listed server. So it should be supported. 50% (no exaggeration), had to be sent back for RMA. I have 1 that has come back twice. Not worth the effort. Stay away. You’ve been warned.

I used to manage a lot of footage and works great.
