    • Good capacity, reliable hard drive
Size: 20TB Style: Dual Drive
I had been put off WD drives since my old (WD Elements desktop drive) had just one day (in 2014 sometime after about an year or so of reliable usage) become dead without any known reason (no physical damage ever, never moved from desktop) and I hadn't been able to recover any of my 3tb data (years of work). This experience obviously caused me an aversion for WD drives but I learnt to always have a total backup of my main drive/data and for the last 4 or so years I have been using a 10tb Seagate (desktop hub) with 02 5tb desktop Seagates as the total backups. Evidently I do my backups manually (it's not rocket science requiring clunky software, rather a sequential style drag/drop/copy/paste task) and while it is admittedly a mundane and repetitive exercise the minor PTSD like experience from my first WD experience mentioned in the first sentence will not allow me to rely on anything else to ensure data storage safety (my data isn't secret or even valuable, just digital memories, movies, tv shows and pc games/software etc...but important to me because I like to be a library of sorts where I dislike deleting things to free up space because offline data access is always a good thing if ever faced with connectivity issues). Am not a techie but I appreciate data safety and after about 7 or 8 weeks of research (online duh..que Billie's bad guy) I decided to part ways with some of my hard earned savings and dive back into the promises by Western Digital. It's not cheap (I live in beautiful Fiji) to buy things on Amazon as shipping/import costs add on to the overall purchase price (while our FJ dollar is relatively an underdog vis-a-vis the US dollar) so took the plunge (despite my earlier 10tb Seagate first arriving DOA, costing my an extra FJ$200 to ship it back for a "free" replacement...not free to the consumer but Seagate is worth it IMHO). This one cost me US$905.83 (so you can understand that in FJ$ it translates to FJ$1,830 or thereabouts, but under FJ$2K factoring in credit card charges as well). No am not rich, but needed another drive as my 10tb main has about 700gb free space left (since I don't delete anything). First of all, delivery and packaging - very nice (vocalize like Borat but am sincere). Amazon had those air space bags in the outer box so that was nice and the DHL service is very nice and reliable so got this drive today (2 weeks earlier than expected). Then the big test...was it DOA...nope, works well and straight out of the box as it should and drive passed the WD diagnostic tests (using the RAID 0 default). Contains 02 10tb WD Red drives which are nice. Casing is relatively okay, plastic but should be fine (it is a desktop drive after all and will remain on the desktop). Usable space is 18.1 TB (this is expected/normal for anyone who knows basic computing). Cables are nice with USB C to USB 3 and USB C to USB C with power adapter and cable. Have transferred about 100gb of data to the WD MyBook Duo from my 10tb Seagate and speeds, while not consistent (given large volumes of small files pdf, doc, ppt, xls etc) are relatively fast (using USB C to USB C but obviously other/host drive is USB 3). The MyBook Duo runs relatively quietly (no audible irritation) and there are obvious decibel increases when the drive is under stress but this is not an issue if you understand how mechanical hard drives work. While this review is arguably premature I am happy with my purchase for now and I have placed my trust in WD products again because my research shows that while its products may face issues at times, it appears WD cares about the consumers. I remain on my guard however because now my main 10tb, together with my 02 05tb Seagates (total 20tb) will be the data backup of this 20tb WD. Would I buy this again? That depends on how well this one lasts (and honestly, it should last my remaining lifetime given my usage habits but lets see, if it doesn't last, nope if it does, yes, because I don't delete anything and more storage is often a need for me). So for this product, for now, 03 out of 03 for the product itself and 02 out of 02 for the Amazon service and DHL delivery. Vinaka from Fiji. ... show more

Size: 4TB Style: Single Drive
ADDITIONAL REVIEW FOR THE FOR THE 8TB MODEL Amazon website for whatever reason will not allow me to submit a review for the 8TB version of this HDD once I submitted my review for the 4TB. Be that as it may, I am not going to change my rating but you need to be aware of one common quirk this 8TB version has that the 4TB HDD does not have. And that is, the 8TB "THUMPS", even when just idling. It is my understanding that this is an artifact of the disk management software; regardless I find it terribly annoying anytime I have the drive in use. So annoying in fact that I want to relegate it to the floor someplace, anything to get it off my desk and out of earshot if possible. Functionally it seems to be on a par with the smaller 4TB drive, so no complaints there. To be very honest, had I experienced the periodic thumping sound it makes beforehand, I probably would have looked at another option. Filter out that thumping, and it a very competent storage device. Luckily I use mine as a backup drive so it is not very often powered up. I can live with it for the minimal time I have to listen to it. ORIGINAL REVIEW FOR THE 4TB HDD Had it about a month and have had no issues except initial installation. It is quiet, reasonably fast and just does what it is supposed to do. I don't seem to be able to get the sleep mode timer working properly; I don't care anyway. Long-term reliability to be determined over time. Initial setup was just plug-and-play; didn't have to do anything extra, didn't need any instructions. It came formatted in exFAT for MAC-Windows compatibility. When I attempted to optimize, it would not show up in the list of connected drives. A search around the Web came up with a lot of intriguing but basically useless suggestions, some of which I tried. I finally went to WD Support and found that exFAT, although providing Win/MAC compatibility, prevents Windows from recognizing it when attempting to optimize. WD suggested that if you are only going to be on Windows, just reformat it in NTFS and all should be well. I did and all was well. This was mentioned previously by a reviewer but thought it worthwhile to repeat the experience. ... show more

    • Massive storage for a good price
Size: 16TB Style: Single Drive
Can't expect a ton from a HDD in today's world of blazing fast SSDs. However, SSDs on the magnitude of 8+ TB are simply not affordable yet. So when you need mass storage just for photos, videos, and general backups -the speed is a fair tradeoff. The drive works fine, zero issues straight out of the box. Of course, this drive suffers the lovely thumping sound. I took some old ear plugs and put four underneath the drive where it sits on my desk. It helps, but it's more like a clicking sound now. The only legitimate complaint I have about this drive, is that it slows my computer down. File explorer will come to a halt while this drive spins up(?). It also takes longer to shut down the computer. These issues are nonexistent with the external drive unplugged. ... show more
