    • Fastest large HD I've ever owned
Review Image by Savvy Shopper
I've been using WD hd's since the early 90's and they've been consistently reliable for me, more so than their peers, which I why I tend to gravitate towards them when buying hd's. To be honest it's been years since I've bought one since my pc is all SSD or at least it was until I installed this drive. Previously my fastest hd was a wd velociraptor but this one is very fast for a mechanical drive. I'd hoped that the Seagate hamr drives would be available to the public by now but alas enterprise customers only. I needed large capacity storage and a 4tb ssd is $600 so this was a happy medium that I could live with. I have included my crystaldiskinfo drive test so you can see my throughput. My system is an AMD X570 with a R9 3900X that was using a crucial mx500 2tb sata ssd for storage but its just not enough room for my 4k videos. I don't hear much drive noise when its active but then again my Cooler Master HAF932 case is loaded with fans and I tend to hear my gpu and aio fans above everything else so they could be drowning it out. Bottom line is that if you need a new hd this one would not disappoint you for a mechanical drive. I keep my games on my ssd's so I cannot comment on things like loading times from them but you see the drive test so you know what I"m getting out of it. ... show more

    • Best HDD a Professional Could Ask For!
I have recently switched all my mechanical hard disks from 2 * 4TB Blue, 2 * 2TB Black, 2 * 4TB External WD Passport Metal Drives, into those amazing 8TB Black - 256 MB Cache. Dude they are insanely fast and reliable, this is not the first time i try the Black One, But it is indeed with that high Cache, I have had previously 8TB WD Gold 128 MB Cache, and it is doing awesome too. But i wanted to go Black this time and i was right they are not that noisy as the Gold. You can barely hear them. My RIG is Old but he can still handle those 4 Drives Intel® Core™ i7-4820K Processor 10M Cache, up to 3.90 ASUS ROG RAMPAGE IV BLACK EDITION Kingston HyperX Beast 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3 2400MHz Kingston HyperX Beast 16GB (4 x 8GB) DDR3 2133MHz ... show more

    • WD Black Reputation. Fast and Quiet. (8TB)
Review Image by Jose G.
It's a WD Black. That should be enough said, but for the sake of clarity let me explain: I've owned/recommended several WD black drives since around 2010 and never had ANY issues with them, even well past their warranty period. I still have two old 1TBs that work good as new. All WD black drives I've dealt with have been rock solid reliable. Can't say the same about some competitors or even other WD product lines. Here's to hoping this (8TB) drive carries on the torch for many years to come! I've read some complaints online about noise, and initially was concerned about it. I am happy to report that this thing is very quiet! No clicking, whirring, ticking or loud seeking noise when reading or writing to it. When backing stuff up to it all I heard was some faint seeking noise, and not much at that. Performance? It's reasonably fast. It's no SSD, but it's no slouch either. Faster than some other HDD's I have lying around. To get a decent idea of its performance, see the attached screenshot. (Benchmark is from CrystalDiskMark 8.0.4 using Default profile). Would I recommend this over other drives? Absolutely. Would I buy more of this same drive? Of course! Overall 10/10 hard drive. ... show more

    • My Western Digital 8TB WD Black was shipped in a paper bag!
Review Image by Sk3ptik0n
Review Image by Sk3ptik0n
What can I say. Amazon ships my cat Litter double boxed, but ships hard drives in a paper envelope and one layer of thin bubble pack? Check out the photos. I wouldn't believe it if it didn't happen to me. I was honestly flabbergasted when I saw the envelope on my porch. I thought "this cannot possibly be the hard drive". It was. It wasn't a surprise when I mounted it and the first time gave me an I/O error when I tried to format it, and the second time just plain didn't see it. Also, when I first powered it up, it vibrated like a neck massager. What do they expect? Now a replacement is on its way, but I am still nervous that someone is going to fishwrap it again so it can bounce from the nearest Amazon warehouse to my porch again. I'll update this review when the new one arrives, but beware when you order. ... show more

    • A Good Drive
In general, an 8TB hard drive for $150 is a good value considering the amount of storage it provides. However, the quality and performance of the hard drive can vary depending on the brand and model. When considering a hard drive, it is important to look at factors such as the rotational speed (measured in RPM), cache size, and interface (such as SATA or NVMe) to determine its performance capabilities. Additionally, it is important to consider the reliability and durability of the hard drive, as well as any warranty or customer support options offered by the manufacturer. Overall, if the hard drive has good performance specifications and is from a reputable brand with a track record of reliability, then it could be a good investment for storing large amounts of data. However, it is important to do thorough research and read reviews from other users before making a purchase to ensure that the hard drive meets your specific needs and expectations. ... show more

    • Good Drive, BUT It Does Click Audibly
I decided to write this review because another reviewer mentioned the same issue. The drive itself is great! I've been using it to store multiple Terabytes of photos and videos and I edit said files in Photoshop/Lightroom/Premiere with no problem. Just be wary that the drive does occasionally decide it wants to click once every few seconds in a rhythmic way which is only noticeable if it's very quiet in my room (I also keep one side panel off of my computer to keep it cooler which likely makes the sound more noticeable too). It can get on my nerves, but I mask the sound with a fan when it starts happening. Would be 5 stars without this issue. ... show more

    • So far so good, can't complain
I don't have any problems with storage anymore. It keeps up fairly well for a spinning disk, but it's also louder than a normal one (and louder is subjective, I notice it when Google Chrome's software reporter tool starts going ham). I could fit all and more of my 125+ Steam, Epic games, Ubisoft, and Origin libraries if I could download all my games (I probably won't, but it'd be neat to see). I also do some video editing in Davinci Resolve 17 and it keeps up enough, but I'm not so sure that's the best use for it since DR does things differently with the data than a video game does. ... show more

    • Good reliable drives
This review is for the 8 TB black hard drive. I have owned several different brands of hard drives and several different versions of WD’s hard drives over the years, including the greens, reds and purples. I have only have had one failure in that time, which happened to be worked hard, operating on a security camera server for a few years before failing. This is my first black as I wanted a reliable drive for backing up my desktop. These hard drives have a great 5-year warranty, which is one of the big reasons, I purchased this. I connected this drive to my Windows 10 computer with no issues. It took less than a minute to get setup and going. It was pre-formatted, so it was quick to a drive letter and get going. File transfer speeds are fairly speedy for a large size drive. I do think the drives are a bit pricey, but have come down in price over the last couple years. I currently have three of the black drives, this 8TB, a 6 and a 2TB....all have been reliable so far. Overall, other than being slightly pricey, these are great hard drives with good speeds and good warranty that I expect to be reliable over the long term. 4.5 stars ... show more
