  WesternDigital 8TB

  This is an excellent NAS hard drive with 8 TB of storage, specifically designed for home or small business NAS systems. Its stable performance, low noise level, and good energy efficiency make it ideal for backups, multimedia storage, or RAID configurations. Many users highlight its reliability and ample capacity for large amounts of data. Some mention that it can be a bit noisy during intense data transfers, but overall, it offers great value for money and reliable 24/7 operation.Ver másVer menos

  So far so good. So quiet! CMR, fast, low power.

  I hate to review components like these until I've had them a long time, but now is probably the time for harddrive buying in general. First of all, to those who are wondering, no the 5640 RPM is not a typo. The official specs sheet says that's what it runs at. I think this helps it find a better balance between 5400 RPM power efficiency and 7200 RPM responsiveness. It claims to run cool and it does seem to do so.One lucky surprise is that it's quiet. A lot of larger harddrives intended for NAS or other RAID systems don't really try to be that quiet. According to the spec sheet it's officially 24dBA idle, 28dBA access. That's insane. I can't measure it with digital precision, but I can say it's one of the least annoying sounding drives I have used in a long time. Even many 5400 RPM 2.5" harddrives bother my ears these days (SSDs have spoiled me!) It doesn't seem to have quite the same "whoosh" sound of the actual platters spinning that normally bothers me if a drive is at all close enough to hear. (How did I survive harddrives in the 90s??? I don't know!) This thing is almost whisper quiet and putting my ear right up to it can still make it hard to hear. I think maybe the 5640 RPM contributes to this — likely it strikes a better balance in regards to sonic properties. My best guess is vibrations don't interfere with each other as much or something to that effect. And even the "grinding" when it's accessing data is quieter than most. I went ahead and wrote this review now in part because I just really want to emphasize how much quieter this drive is compared to most.As another piece of good news, this entire series is made with CMR — that is classic magnetic recording — rather than SMR (shingled magnetic recording.) A lot of larger drives in this sort of range use SMR because it's cheaper, but it also is significantly slower on any writes bigger than the cache size — which is probably going to be any decent sized transfers at all. I also see a lot of claims that SMR drives last significantly less actual usage hours (which might make sense since they must rewrite every single block that changes for even a small write.) Right now I have more confidence in a CMR drive to hold up past the 1.5 year mark that seems to come up a lot in reviews and complaints for SMR drives.Speeds did dip down to something like 160MB/s for the final average (instead of the 215MB/s in the specs) for a huge transfer operation, but all in all this drive strikes a lot of great balances.Only time will tell on reliability, but this is a good line.Ver másVer menos

  2 of 3 units DOA

  Two units DOA. I initially ordered 2 drives to build my first NAS system. I put both in the Synology NAS and thought everything was good until I noticed only 1 drive was being reported in the storage pool config. I shut everything down and tried different bays and different trays, but couldn't get the Synology to see the drive. I decided the drive was DOA and ordered a replacement. I went through the exact same issue with the replacement drive. I even ordered a separate enclosure and that didn't work either. The first drive worked in any bay of the Synology and in the external enclosure I ordered to test the failing drives. Unbeleivelable. I'm sure when these drives work, they're great.Ver másVer menos

  Dependable and have not had any concerns.

  I've bought over 20 of WD's NAS storage drives. I do aloooot of video and editing, I added up a while ago and it's more now, I have almost 46 TB of content - some are 10 yrs old and still going strong. Anyone who just read this and gasped, I also have online service with all this backed up too. "-)Ver másVer menos

  Amazon shipped this in only the retail packaging

  I really dislike that Amazon decided to ship a disk drive to me in nothing more than the retail box with a shipping label slapped onto it, but so far it appears to have survived. I put it into my Linux system with zero setup issues.Prices are insane right now. Thankfully, I caught it at a time when it was somewhat reasonably priced ~$130, but at the time of this review, it has jumped an additional $70 or so. What can ya really do in times like these, though.4 stars for the drive itself, 1 star for Amazons shipping methods.Do better, Amazon.Ver másVer menos
