New purchases Aug 2026 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I purchased 2 more of these 8TB WD Red drives. One works perfectly. The other was DOA. Over the years I've bought numerous amounts of these WD Red drives and this was my very first DOA. However, giving Western Digital credit where it's due... I called Support yday. Got to speak to someone within about 60 seconds. Asian lady was very helpful and after explaining I'd tried the drive on 3 different systems (2 x Windows, 1 x Linux) and I could tell the drive was not even spinning up, she agreed the drive was defective and offered a Standard or Upgrade replacement. Standard... You return it, once received, a replacement is sent out within 7-10 business days Upgrade... You pay $25 (non-refundable) and they send you a new one immediately. They also keep your credit card on file and if you don't return the defect, they charge you accordingly. I opted for Standard as I'm in no immediate hurry so why pay $25. Within 10 minutes I received various emails noting my case number, registering the warranty, and finally she sent me a prepaid UPS label to return. The replacement is a certified (not new) drive. However its warranty starts now, meaning it has a 3 yr full warranty just like the NIB I purchased. At first I was kind of miffed about it but the more I thought about it, who cares... Drives generally either fail within a short space of time or they run for years. Having built many computers (personal and working for companies) and also having worked in the support side myself for manufacturers for years, I stand by my own past experiences. I should get a replacement drive back in about 2 weeks max. If there's a problem with that one, I'll update my review but I have always been pleased with WD drives. They have a much less failure rate than Seagates I've had experience with over the decades. So sticking at 5 stars, even though I have a DOA, because their support is outstanding. Try that with Seagate.... Original Update ~~~~~~~~~~~~ I have a number of these drives in a server as well as in a NAS. I use them directly in a server for storage for a Media Center system. In the NAS they're powered up 24x7 whereas in the server they get powered up and down each day. I've not had any problems with them. The only reasons I keep buying them is because I'm upgrading from smaller capacity WD Red drives not because any of them have ever failed. This purchase was to create a USB backup device but I'm actually using it to replace a smaller 6TB drive instead. What made this even a better deal was buying it during the Amazon Prime Day and got a great discount on it. None the less, these NAS drives are solid and I now added them to other servers as Data drives (using SSD's for boot devices). Highly recommend them.

I hate to review components like these until I've had them a long time, but now is probably the time for harddrive buying in general. First of all, to those who are wondering, no the 5640 RPM is not a typo. The official specs sheet says that's what it runs at. I think this helps it find a better balance between 5400 RPM power efficiency and 7200 RPM responsiveness. It claims to run cool and it does seem to do so. One lucky surprise is that it's quiet. A lot of larger harddrives intended for NAS or other RAID systems don't really try to be that quiet. According to the spec sheet it's officially 24dBA idle, 28dBA access. That's insane. I can't measure it with digital precision, but I can say it's one of the least annoying sounding drives I have used in a long time. Even many 5400 RPM 2.5" harddrives bother my ears these days (SSDs have spoiled me!) It doesn't seem to have quite the same "whoosh" sound of the actual platters spinning that normally bothers me if a drive is at all close enough to hear. (How did I survive harddrives in the 90s??? I don't know!) This thing is almost whisper quiet and putting my ear right up to it can still make it hard to hear. I think maybe the 5640 RPM contributes to this — likely it strikes a better balance in regards to sonic properties. My best guess is vibrations don't interfere with each other as much or something to that effect. And even the "grinding" when it's accessing data is quieter than most. I went ahead and wrote this review now in part because I just really want to emphasize how much quieter this drive is compared to most. As another piece of good news, this entire series is made with CMR — that is classic magnetic recording — rather than SMR (shingled magnetic recording.) A lot of larger drives in this sort of range use SMR because it's cheaper, but it also is significantly slower on any writes bigger than the cache size — which is probably going to be any decent sized transfers at all. I also see a lot of claims that SMR drives last significantly less actual usage hours (which might make sense since they must rewrite every single block that changes for even a small write.) Right now I have more confidence in a CMR drive to hold up past the 1.5 year mark that seems to come up a lot in reviews and complaints for SMR drives. Speeds did dip down to something like 160MB/s for the final average (instead of the 215MB/s in the specs) for a huge transfer operation, but all in all this drive strikes a lot of great balances. Only time will tell on reliability, but this is a good line.

The drive came exactly as it showed, was wrapped tight and delivered perfectly. I have the same 4TB WD REd Plus NAS hard drive that just failed(I have 1 redundant drive). I Have a DS1513+. i was a bit worried after reading the reviews that said that the drives come DOA, but they aren't, due to software loaded on the drive from WD. I popped my old drive out, popped the new one in. I did reboot even though my NAS is hotswappable. I just wanted to make sure. As soon as I powered it on, the drive spun up and showed healthy. I clicked on my Storage pool, ACTIONS, REPAIR and in a few hours, everything was right with the world again. Great Drive. Given that these drives were on the market for many years, I did expect that the price would have come down. But hey, I got the exact replacement drive, so I was happy!

Ships in a state where most NAS units think it's dead Newer batches of this drive ship from the factory with PUIS (Power-Up In Standby) enabled. The drive won't spin up on its own when it gets power. It just sits there waiting for a command most NAS enclosures never send, so your NAS reports it as a failed drive with blank model and serial info. I got two from the same batch (this one plus one from another retailer) and both did the exact same thing in every bay of my Ubiquiti UNAS Pro. An older drive of the same model works fine in the same bays, so this is something WD changed recently. The normal fix is disabling PUIS with hdparm on Linux, but you can't do it over USB. I tried three different USB docks and the bridge chips in all of them block the command. You need a desktop with a real SATA port, which a lot of NAS owners don't have. I wasted many hours figuring all this out before returning it. The drive itself is probably fine. But selling a NAS drive configured so that actual NAS units call it dead, with no reasonable way for a normal person to fix it, is ridiculous. Buy a different model until WD sorts this out.

Drive is a good value for the money. It is easy to install and is very fast for not being an SSD. I haven't seen any data loss. The drive doesn't seem to run hot.

I'm a long-time Western Digital fan of their blue and black label drives, so I decided to purchase two of these drives for my new NAS to use in a RAID1 array. One drive was DOA, and would not spin up. I work in IT. It happens. Put in an RMA on the 19th of July. Paid for their two day shipping. Tracking says they received it on the 24th (this is going from East Coast USA to West Coast (California). Great. Checked back on the RMA status on the 29th and it still said "Pending Return". Reached out to support. Got a responsive reply saying that they in fact did receive it on the 24th. Awesome. 1 hour later, I received an email saying they got my return. Odd, but fine. August 2nd, I finally got an email saying my drive was shipped (no tracking information). Today is the 13th of August, and I literally just received the drive after reaching out to support for tracking. It was in fact delivered via UPS, so I'm not sure what the delay was. It's a good thing I didn't need this drive for anything super critical. I'll update if I have issues with the drives themselves.

I use this on Linux as an external backup hard drive. It has very fast read/write speeds, and works great for file backups. Its also great that its a CMR type drive. If using with Linux, make sure to format it as an EXT4. Highly recommended!
