Still waiting to see if all five that I ordered certify before passing judgement on them as drives, but I was frustrated to see that they’re all dated December 2020. That means they’ve been sitting on the shelf for over a year and effectively makes the warranty four years rather than five.

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

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.

WD very good

I needed this internal drive for in-computer storage capacity. It works as expected, and was easy to install.

I purchased two and one was DOA. B&H replaced it no issues, however it brings into question is WD is lowering their quality standards to bring the price down. The replacement works just great and both easily hit their rated speeds. Here’s to hoping they last like my previous WD drives.

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!

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.

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.

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 is my fifth 8 TB version of the HGST heritage drives. The last three are post Western Digital. I also have many 4 TB units from when that was the sweet spot. I’ve had no failures from any of them and the performance has been very good for a spinning disk. In the last year, I’ve been working from all solid state disks and the two units in my video workstation are powered down until I need them. Two others are in canisters off site. I expect them to last a long time in this use case. This purchase is for my local media server which has no redundancy except that all the files still exist where they were created and can rebuilt in the case of a drive failure. I’m not too worried in the short run based on past experience. In the long run, this and every other disk will be policy-replaced when I start to worry.

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…

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.

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

I have a giant stack of these. They are functional for all different purposes, especially nice in a raid.

There are retail packaging but inside is the latest helium Ultrastar drive, with S/N that verifies on the HGST enterprise warranty site for full five year warranty. It doesn’t get better than this. Current pricing under $30/TB for 12TB.

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

Plug and play. I used these drives for archiving. So far so good.

Confirming everything reviewer Larry said. Drives are new, in sealed retail packaging. Sealed bag, drive label, and SMART all show model number HGST HUS726T4TALA6L4. Units I received have manufacturing date of March 04 2019. Manufacturer’s warranty is valid. Both powered up and formatted fine, and went right to work. These new, sealed, valid-warranty drives from B&H were priced better than the same model from gray-market Amazon marketplace sellers. I’ve seen complaints on various forums and discussion groups about some Ultrastar drives having power connector compatibility problems (drive stays in standby when connected to older systems) or not having the middle pair of mounting screw holes. These drives do not have either problem; they’re legacy-compatible with standard SATA power connectors, and they have all the usual mounting screw holes. Regarding reviewer Edward’s concern that his drive is noisy, it’s normal for a datacenter drive to make noise as it operates. If you want a quiet drive for a desktop workstation, buy a WD Black, not a datacenter device.
