  • Absolute boss HDD.
If you want a data center class drive that will last forever and a day WD/UltraStar/HGST is the way go to. I literally dropped this several times swapping it between bays and it spun up afterward like "wut?" Only thing I would suggest to a prospective buyer is GET HDD LLF and do a full drive surface low level format before anything. It's just a safety measure to make sure any bad clusters are marked out (though I've never gotten a bad cluster on an HGST). Then when you format it use make sure to use something more advanced than windows built in format. You want the drive to be GPT and you want to format it as NTFS with maximum cluster size (64kB) this will reduce seek latency because max cluster size reduces MFT reference/seek time. And again, you want to do this is as a deep format, not a quick format; the LLF and deep format on the 16TB took me about 16.5 Hours for each operation; the drive does maintain a steady state sequential read and write speed of 256MB/s. (and in case you're like "where's my full 16TB?" when they say it's 16TeraBYTES they literally mean 16 trillion bytes, which works out to 14.55 proper TB [this is completely normal: 16,000,000,000,000 Bytes /1024 /1024 /1024 /1024 = 14.55TB] ... show more

  • Good so far
I received four 16 TB drives from Platinum Micro, Inc. They shipped and arrived quickly. I chose these drives with a 2.5 million hour MTBF for a Synology RackStation RS820+. I received great communication from the seller pertaining to my pre sales question about warranty. I went with third party seller, Platinum Micro, Inc. because they have been in business since 2000. Of note, I received all consumer drives (no OEM). One drive was manufactured in May 2021 and carries the five-year U.S. warranty from Western DIgital. The other three drives were manufactured in November 2021 and were originally destined for sale outside of the U.S. These drives show a five-year warranty, but I suspect that receiving a replacement from Western Digital, if needed, will be complicated. Some have complained about the noise of these drives, but I find them to be rather quiet in my setup. Overall, I'd recommend the Western Digital HC550. ... show more

  • Drives with warranty! (Serverpartdeals)
You really need to be careful who you buy drives from. You would think that buying a drive from Amazon would be covered by the manufacturer but you're wrong... A lot of sellers on Amazon purchase OEM drives which are not covered by the manufacturer but by the seller. I purchased my drives from serverpartdeals. The drives were in a ESD bag, double boxed, bubble wrap, and foam inserts! Very secure. First thing I did was check the warranty and they did have a 5 year warranty. None were dead on arrival and seem to be working without a problem. ... show more

  • Great drive and warranty is valid
I have 3 of these drives now and none have had a single issue. I bought this from Serverpartdeals as they had great reviews and shipping was delayed a few days but thats on UPS, not Serverpartdeals. I checked the warranty with WD and it is 5 years as i hoped. These drives are a bit on the noisy side when doing heavy writes but seem to quiet down significantly once broken in, in my experience at least. Will do business with Serverpartdeals again in the future for sure ... show more

  • Great NAS drives
Had to buy drives compatible with my new Synology DS1520+ NAS. These went in easily and have been humming along flawlessly for a couple of weeks.

  • warranty issue
I purchased this from Platinum Micro. Before I opened the drive, I checked the warranty on the WD website. It showed this drive was sold as a component to an OEM. Any warranty issues would have to be worked through them. It is hard enough working a warranty issue through the manufacturer, I didn't think it was worth it to take the chance dealing with a third party. Sent it back. ... show more

  • 90% silent and the best I've ever owned.
It's not completely silent, but what platter drive is? If you need completely silent get SSD, or a NAS in a different room. As far as platter drives go this one is 90% silent and the best I've ever owned. Only a few clicks here and there. The retrieval speed is twice as fast as others that have half the cache. FYI not all models of this drive have 512 Mb cache. Please be aware of the product, you choose. ... show more
