Great HDD, great package and fast delivery! Thanks WD!:)
I do a lot of video editing... a LOT. My PC's 2 TB hard drive was constantly filling up and as a result I have been struggling to remove enough files to have sufficient space for more editing, and have over a dozen external hard drives, in many cases with redundant files. It was time for an upgrade, and the solution was to add a second internal drive, this time a whopping 4 TB of data, to the PC. This would not only give me the space to keep files I need handy, but also to start sorting thru the externals and removing duplications and freeing up THAT space as well. Western Digital is a name I've used with confidence for many years, and when I saw the extremely reasonable price for this hard drive I was VERY happy. Now I am stress-free and my data management has room to breathe while I use downtime from editing to clean up more space. Very highly recommend this drive.
Very nice HDD for "cold storage". I bought this 8TB in Nov-22 for $120. I already have a fast pc and fast storage. I have a 1TB of arguably the fastest PCIe4x4 nand SSD, a 960GB Optane SSD, and a cold storage 3TB Seagate HDD and they were getting filled with stuff I didn't actively use and didn't want to redo or redownload. My long term backup method to optical(or M-disc) takes too long for anything but the most valuable data, and an 8TB SSD costs too much to justify. This 8TB drive will give me a lot more space to keep what I want. It also does sequential R/W in Crystaldiskmark of over 200MB/s compared to the 140MB/s of the other smaller HDDs I have and 5x as fast as my 340Mb/s cable internet download speed when the internet is perfect. My drive came straight from WD and was manufactured in Oct-22. And like most that buy them it ran perfectly and I expect it to last as long as the still running WD Blue 1TB in my daughter's PC that I picked up in 2011. Also it is not clicky like the old Velociraptor HDD I have in the office. It is often slow for things like games, and isn't the best choice for continuous reading and writing, but that isn't what I got it for. If I store a modded game on it and I want to play it for more than a few hours I will likely drag that folder to a faster drive. If I want to backup my phone's photos/videos the WD can hold them until I save them permanently. If I have a video project that is taking too much space, to the WD it can go. Tons of space that is fast enough for cold storage.
I paired 2 of these drives for my QNAP TS-264 2-Bay High-Performance Desktop NAS. They rattle some but as long as they work and keep working I will be happy with them. In the future I would like to replace them with SSD when I can afford to do so. I can write to these drives and read from them fast. When I call on a saved movie to watch they provide the data without it buffering or lagging. The ultimate test will be how long they last.
My computer had boot up errors, so I backed up the disk to this before attempting to fix the system. This drive was a matching size making it easy to complete.
The price is exceptional. The drive size is large. The powwer consumption is moderate. I think it p[ut new life into a 12 year old computer.
A good standard HDD to cold store your data and backups. Used in a RAID1, these provide a large storage option for the smaller M2 SSDs that are installed on my system. For the config I have these are a great solution to keep videos and media stored on, and another location for data backup.
Installed drive, created partitions, formatted. and loaded operating system. Booted and ran fine for about 10 min and died with pages of I/O errors. Reboot did not recognize drive. Returned item (refund will be whenever). I did order another from Walmart and the price had increased ouch. So I am into this paying for two plus a price increase with a vague hope of a refund for the first one. You expect me to ever do business with Wal Mart again?
bought 4, 2 already died... - very poor quality for high end model
Device came new in decent packaging, direct from Western Digital. However, I noticed immediately that it was the EZAZ version which is SMR (Single Magnetic Recording) version. This means it is significantly slower writing large files than other Blue products I have owned. I was just using for storage so even though I was disappointed, I tried to use it. The drive would not initialize. It would throw IO errors across multiple known good power and sata connections. Shady to list it as a Blue product when its obviously a sub par model, this means I can no longer trust the companies own performance branding to give me the product I want from ANY vendor. Compound this having it be DOA from the factory, makes me question using WD products anymore. I have been an advocate of theirs for 20 years until this. I will be attempting to return. Will see how well they handle this
