Enterprise quality and great prices, fast service. Little noisy in SFF, but not like the noise our servers produce. I’m using in SFF for a special project right now 16gb gold , will repurpose later

I've only had them running for a week or so now. Full drive write and re-read found no bad sectors. Maintains advertised speed for at least several hours before dropping down to around 160MB/s. Full load for over a day have mine running around 39 degrees Celsius. Relatively quiet for read/write.

Been solid so far! I put inthe drives in a raid and all of them have been issue free. It's been about 2 weeks without issues.

Bought two of these to back up a 4x8TB software raid array. Using them in an external dual drive sata dock and was able to transfer everything effortlessly. Drives arrived in perfect condition from a warehouse local to me. I am particularly impressed with the box these ship in - the thing can hold 20 drives and is very suitable for storing drives as well that you happen to have unplugged (cold). That's a free storage solution right there lol. Great job WD!!!

These work great in my synology NAS. Installition was very easy, no screws required. The drives are fast enough that they are similar to the platter drives in my pc. They do make some noise, but that does not matter for me since they are in a server room no where near the office. Theses drives will NOT work in the Western Digital NAS units as the circuit board will be damaged when installed.
