fast, and huge capacity. I have 4 of these 16TB in a raidz on TrueNAS, offering my home network 42TB of secure storage.

Love it so far. With its long warranty, I have the confidence to trust this drive with my data. I purchased two and have them in a Sabrent JOB enclosure connected via USB 3.2.
As long as it works and delivers the rated speeds in the years to come, what's not to like? I gave it 5 stars, although if I wanted to quibble, I'd probably take away 1 star for the unusual noises it makes during operation. It's not particularly loud, however, so it doesn't bother me much.

This drive was not compatible for the PC I had to use it as a backup drive. I purchased a kit to covert it to an external drive but still is not recognized by my system and it doesn’t fit properly with the kit. Regretting purchasing this drive

Outstanding Drive! I use it in my NAS and have 3 other 8TB WD Gold Drives. Would recommend to everyone who has a NAS Sys. Extremely reliable and very quite...

Fast but makes clunking sounds, this is my 3rd Gold Class drive and while they have not failed me they sound like a broken piston when ever accessed. I expect it now but its loud and sounds disconcerting regardless.
