Capacity: 18 TB
I have used most the top brands....over the last 10 years. I currently run just under 100TB in my desktop, which mostly consisted of the 6TB 12TB drives...and now updated to 18TB slowly. WD Black and Golds thus far I haven't had a single failure in 15 years..... with EVERY other brand usually being replaced due to failure. One thing..... I do NOT use these as working drives. I use SSD..... i DID use two 6TB ssd in raid 0 for about 5 years with no issues.... I JUST replaced it with an SSD, to gain some speed and another sata port back. 18TB is a LOT of data on one disk. As a photographer I shoot about 5-6 TB per year of pics and video. I have adopted my older 12TB drives as the backups in a box... and added the 18TB last fall and this spring as my onboard archive drives.... Thus far.. they have been great with no issues...and no noise... at least that I have noticed. I don't recommend these for much more than archive and backup..... they make FAST onboard archive drives.... hitting speeds regularly of 190-220MB/sec sustained until you get to the last 25%, then they slow down to the more average 120-150MB/sec Packaging. I have NEVER gotten a drive in an envelope, every drive came in an OEM box with the appropriate cardboard or plastic drive suspender that is in most store boxes. More recently they have come in that and bubble wrapped as well inside the box... with two drives even coming in a special box for two drives suspended. IF YOU SHOULD RECEIVE a drive that was just in some envelope and not in an suspended protector inside the box... most likely its not coming from this seller or is being fulfilled by another party. DOCUMENT The wrapping well and just send it back to avoid any issues. Don't even finish taking the drive out, and ask for one in proper packaging. In my current case of nearly 6 years..(Obsidian 800d). I now only have WD black or Golds... computer never shuts off no failures.

My 4TB WD hard drive was almost full (I take a lot of photos) and I had already tried a 12 TB Seagate drive that was DOA, so I decided to try a 8TB WD drive since my 4TB drive has been fine for several years. It initially was OK and I was able to copy the 4TB drive to it using a common utility (It's not my first rodeo). However, after less than two months I noticed it was taking a while to open files. I ran the CHKDSK utility and it found some bad sectors. I started using it again but after about a week it started acting flaky again. I removed the drive from my main computer and plugged it into one of my backups and ran CHKDSK again. This time there were multiple pages of errors. When it finished I tried to access the drive and the system told me it wasn't accessible. I ran CHKDSK again and it found MORE ERRORS but I ran into the same issue of it not being accessible, so I ran it again. This time it gave me the errors in the attached picture in an endless loop. I went to try to print it but it was over 300 pages. The good news is that I called Amazon (Since I had heard that dealing with WD is a nightmare) and they gave me a one-time exception refund but with a $48 restocking fee. I very nicely asked if there was a way to not pay that and he then got approval for a credit that could be used for a replacement drive. I am assuming this was a one-time issue so I reordered the same drive. I will update here if it also goes bad!

I was using the HGST version but after Western Digital bought them out, the WD version has slowly come in under the HGST price if you catch them on sale. Its the exact same drive just different branding. WORD OF WARNING! these are data center drives and as such have the 3.3v issue preventing the drive from starting up until you block pin 3 (google it). my first of these newer drives, I was not aware of that and went back and forth with a different HGST vendor for awhile before finding the solution online. Two, I bought power extenders and cut the wire for, making a permanent change and one drive for an external bay I taped pin 3 as I was not about to permanently alter the drive bay. My MUCH older 10GB HGST version of these drives have been working 24 hours a day for 7 years now with not so much as a hiccup I can blame on the drive. I have other WD drives that are decades old and never had a failure (so far).

These were excellent. WD Gold is all I've used for a few years. These were replacements for a small RAID array with 70,000+ hours (those were HGST - best ever). I use WD Gold in various sizes in large and small arrays for personal and business use and have never had a problem.

Why I ordered this item: My old NAS drive started clicking and I wanted something built for a server instead of a regular desktop drive. I run a small file server at home and needed something that could handle being on all the time. Likes: * This thing is zippy for a spinning drive. I dragged a big folder of files onto it and it just flew. * It runs cool and quiet in my case. I was expecting more noise out of a drive spinning this fast. * It's heavier than a regular desktop drive and you can tell there's more going on inside. * I threw a bunch of read and write activity at it at once for my media server and the stream didn't stutter once. * I moved a folder of huge video files over in one go and it didn't slow down partway through. No likes: You're paying for the enterprise label. * No mounting screws included. Would I pay full price for this product: Yes Final thoughts: This is a drive for someone running a server or NAS, not a casual desktop upgrade. Mine ran cool right out of the gate. If you just need storage for a normal PC this is overkill, but for a home server it's worth the extra cost for the quiet and speed I'm getting out of mine.

I also have them in 2 Synology 5bay Expansion Units DX517 connected to my Synology NAS DS1520+. No error codes everything works great. I use the DS416Play for file backups. I use the DS1520+ and both of my Synology 5bay Expansion Units DX517 set up as 3 Volumes for my PLEX Server. ----- "YES Synology updated there Compatible Drive List for at least the Drive List for my Setup." ----- My be yours as well?? ----- But really -- What a GREAT setup.
