Installed in Synology DiskStation Ds1418+. They have been working well so far.

Well known for their reliability, the drive itself is slower than a conventional 7200rpm HDD despite being a pro. Is being used for home networking, but would not recommend for this application.

I bought 4 of these discs and put them in a OWC enclosure. Works fine so far.

Amazing for VIDEOS & PHOTOS Storage although you need 2 of them in case of a failure (BACK IT UP) for everything’s in the universe fails. Its large storage could go a long away and it is a USB 3 for faster transfer. The transfer rate it depends on the compression of the VIDEOS. The higher the compression the slower the transfer rate. I note that it goes down to 78 MB/s then it stays. although the higher was 150 MB/s

I bought two of these to complete my NAS set of four. Popped them in and was off and running. Just that simple. Using for backups and additional storage.

Arrived DOA. Wont initialize in my Synology 1512+.

Runs warmer and a little noisier than than the basic red nas, but, worth it for the speed and warranty.
Rebeka Stracke (verified owner) –
Genuine and everything was great! Best prices!
Vince Abernathy (verified owner) –
I had zero issues with installation and initialization. I’m using two in a ioSafe 218 NAS (two-bay diskless). I’ll update if I have any issues down the road, but so far so good.
Maegan Berge (verified owner) –
Easy to install, haven’t had it very long but so far works well
Nayeli Ziemann (verified owner) –
Works good, I like it.
Savanna Gorczany (verified owner) –
I have three of these drives in my Synology NAS, and they seem to work just fine. I store my video footage on these. Pricey? Yes. But my video work pays for my house, so I have to have reliable gear.
Belle Hill (verified owner) –
I purchased long time before NAS drives and never had such problems. Decided to continue with WD, purchased RED pro it die after 6 months. Disappointed with WD.

I needed to make some room in my external JBOD enclosures to be able to swap in and out an APFS Bootable drive, so I swapped a 2TB drive for this 10TB drive, which game me lots of options for adding a mirror member other multi-drive RAID mirrors. The good news is that with 10TB, I was able to turn many 2 member mirrors into 3 member mirrors. This drive is now part of 7 other RAID volumes. The bad news is that now this single drive is needed any time I write to any of those mirrors. I was able to avoid performance issues by making this drive only be members of mirrors I am using to Archive and store video files and things that are super important, but which I dont need to access as often as some other things. Once I have reason to add a 2nd one of these, I will re-partition it so it has a fewer number of larger partitions. Like I will make it a member in two 5TB mirrors, rather than a member in 7 or 8 mirrors that are 1-2 TB each. Having never hd a drive larger than 6TB, it was not a problem I thought about until it was in and running. The price per TB is good, and the density is amazing. I will purchase one more of these in the next 6 months.

I found it strange that this model with the 14TB capacity has a 512MB cache while the other capacities have the smaller 256MB cache considering the price per byte is on par with the others. Anyway, it made sense to me to get the larger cache for that reason. I think this drive has a capacity to last the rest of my life. I’m old. I temporarily housed it in an external drive enclosure and plugged it in to a USB 3 port and it’s working beautifully. Eventually I’ll put it in the PC and move a smaller capacity drive from the PC to the enclosure. And even later on, I’ll actually buy an NAS and drop it in there, perhaps with a second identical drive if I decided to RAID.

Large, fast and reliable. Using as an external hard drive for backup storage with a Mac Pro. I shoot and edit a lot of 4K video and need tons of storage. This drive is versatile, affordable and does the job.
Mack King (verified owner) –
So far works great. Excellent data transfer rate.
Thurman Spencer (verified owner) –
aside from the product being awesome. I am in Australia and for me the value and time out reached any thing I could have purchased in Australia. Even with duty, taxs and exchange rate it was cheaper and delivered in record time
Adonis Steuber (verified owner) –
Bought 2 and 1 died in the first 6 months. Terrible quality control. I guess that’s why WD is constantly putting these on sale these days. Do not trust these.
