  • Bare drives shipped in ENVELOPES!
Capacity: 14TB
In my lifetime I've never seen hard drives shipped bare in an envelope, no box, no protection. I paid $900 for two drives, they came in flimsy thin air pad envelopes. One drive has bent connector leads, the other drive worked and formatted ok, but it makes me very nervous about the banging it took to get to me. The drives and manufacture are no doubt WD gold standard, but SMH wondering who would put this kind of amazing gear in a flimsy envelope to bang down the road and get delivered. I'm sending them both back. SMH, SMH, oh my. ... show more

  • Fake Drives from "Warehouse", BEWARE.
Capacity: 2TB
As other reviews suggest, 5400rpm drives regularly being sold as WD Gold. I thought I would not be that unlucky, but alas.

  • This is not a new Drive, Western Digital will nor warranty for five years
Capacity: 2TB
I purchased this drive as being new with a five year warranty. I received it in record time and Registered as soon as I got it. Western Digital would only warranty it for 34 days. I spent almost a month going back and forth with the live chat on WD's service site before I finally found out that the reason it was not given the five year warrranty was because in WD's own words: "According to our records, serial number WMC6N0L8XADY is a replacement product for another customer and is not eligible for warranty update..." I'm sending it back for a refund. Thanks Amazon for your service, not so much for Viixim for selling it as new when it's not. ... show more

  • Fast, Quiet, Reliable, and Cool
Capacity: 14TB
This is my 6th WD Gold Hard Drive. I love them. I have many dozens of hard drives. I know what it's like to suffer a hard drive failure. Even with backups it's a pain. WD Gold drives make that situation unlikely because they are the most reliable drive in the business. I recommend ALL users buy these enterprise class drives and to avoid so-called consumer drives. These will likely serve you with much less trouble since they have by far the best MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure) figures on the market today. It's worth the few extra $$$. This drive also runs extremely cool. Unlike my WD Black drives, which are very HOT to the touch, these Gold drives even when being written too 100% of the time run very cool. I dumped nearly 9TB onto this drive in one fell swoop and the drive never exceeded 100°F and under normal heavy usage runs at 95°F and at idle about 90°F. This is in a room with a constant ambient temp of 77°F. I've used at least a hundred drives over the last decade. The first enterprise class drives I bought 10 years ago and which run at 10,000rpm have been running 24/7/365 and are still running to this day. These WD Gold drives have a MTBF 2.5 times higher than those early drives. I place a high value on reliability. ADDED Nov 9, 2020 I should mention that you should make sure you are buying retail drive and not an OEM. Western Digital will not warranty an OEM drive. OEM drives are usually cheaper, but getting support if you have an issue is entirely dependent on the seller's inclination to replace a defective drive. To ensure you get a retail drive on Amazon make sure the "seller" or "Sold by" and "shipped by" are both "Amazon". ... show more

  • Doesn't seem to be compatible with Linux
Capacity: 1TB
I tried every which way to have LINUX find GRUB to boot the OS. Absolutely no such luck or is the drive incompatible with LINUX. The drive itself is working fine as a slave, but as soon as you expect it to run as master for LINUX, it does not provide boot information that is needed to start the OS. I tried LINUX MINT (based on UBUNTU) I tried DEBIAN LINUX the original. I installed LINUX MINT several times without as reported failure, including the GRUB install. On reboot, nothing! The boot sector or whatever data might have been written to it, runs right into the digital darkness of HDD space. Some Grub part was written to the drive, but it is very useless since it produces an error "attempt to read or write outside of disk hd0" As far as I am concerned, all data during install had to go onto this drive, the only one. Why trying to read or write outside the drive e.g. air bubble or? I wound up to take a 500GB from another computer that was running as slave. Installed the LINUX MINT without a single problem. The 1TB GOLD wound up as a slave in previous mentioned computer as storage. It seems more and more to me, that some OS manufacturer pay hardware manufacturer to make it very difficult to get their hardware working with LINUX. Sad, sad, almost like the white house. ... show more

  • Shortchanged by TEN!
Capacity: 10TB
Imagine buying ten pounds of potatoes, paying for ten pounds and then getting only one pound. That's what Western Digital did to me. I bought a 10TB Western Digital hard drive only to find it is a 1TB drive. Clearly labeled. Correct model number. Windows correctly identifies the model but tells me it is 1100 GB, which is 1.1 TB. NOT 10TB. Simple to fix? Oh no. Phone, chat, email. No response. Only "we are so sorry. We want to help". well, one week out, I have one pound of potatoes in a ten pound bag. So disappointed with what was at one time a good company. I would NOT recommend a Western Digital product today. My Seagate 2TB drive is fine. Bye bye. UPDATE 3-5-21: WD confirms that their 10TB labeled drive is 1TB. They will "look into it". HARD TO BELIEVE. Caveat emptor. Do NOT purchase a WD drive. My advice as an engineer. ... show more
