This is Ultrastar which was Hitachi brand in Western Digital. No problem with disk drives.

I bought two of these WD 10TB Ultrastar 7200 rpm SATA internal hard drives for my new CyberPower PC and had B&H install them before they shipped the system to me. The first one is for moving photo files in and out to Adobe Lightroom for processing, the second for backup storage of my photo files. This way I keep these data intensive RAW files (and processed jpgs) off of my main PC drives.

I always use to buy Hitachi drives. For 20+ years it is all I would put in my computers. Then they were bought out by WD. They are using Hitachi’s technology so I buy WD now. Haven’t had any problems. With this drive I now have 22 terabytes of video storage in my current desk top computer. This one seems a little faster than my two 6 terabyte drives.

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.

This has to be the perfect choice for storing large volumes of files for backup, or backup images, collections of very large files. The 7200 RPM speed allows the drive to maintain a good performance. While no HDD is going to match an SSD, the speed and space of this beast is amazing. It easily fit into an external storage enclosure. I use a USB 3.1/3.2 connection to move the data. If you have large files, or backup images that need to be stored, this is a good choice.

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.

This is the fourth WD 12TB drive I have purchase for my Synology Network Attached Storage device, also purchased from B&H, and I couldn’t be happier with the price, the products and the service. Although the last two drives I purchased were on back order, B&H sent regular emails to let me know I had not been forgotten and this was much appreciated.

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.

Being an IT manger we are Using these drives for all our backups and it never failed on us This is the most reliable drive in the market! I am using this version and previous versions from last 15 years!

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.

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.

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 would not buy any other model or brand of drive. The Western Digital gold series has been proven to last longer than many other drives. I recommend using this drive in a RAID 5 or 6 configuration as you will have the benefit of redundancy just in case any drive should fail.

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 purchased this to replace a video drive in my desktop computer. So far so good, really easy to install and format, seems to be very fast. I’m very happy with this purchase!

Ordered item a few weeks ago to use as a spare drive in a new NAS. The drive unfortunately, is not functional. I now have an overpriced paper weight. Will be interesting to see how/if i can get this replaced.

Very Good.

We have been running four of these in a Drobo 5D for over a year now. No problems. Don’t understand complaints about noise, since these are usually used in a unit that can be hidden under the desk or away from your ears. Usually the noise comes from cooling fan or other sheet metal of the drive container (Drobo in my case), not the drive itself.

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!

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.
