Note: 8TB HDD drives when you inltialize them show as a 1.3 TB or 1.4 TB its like that until you format it only then does is show up as a 8TB hdd on the PC. I don't normaly get drives this big. Manufacture should have a note in it about formatting in windows. It would save a lot on send backs on drives.Came on time, worked good, package was so-so. Seems Amazon's automatic bag sealer - it comes in will tear open very easy in shipment poor sealing needs some adjustments. Backup software worked great with this HDD, real fast.

It’s a great device, but the loud noise it makes when you’re using the hard drive is a bit distracting. It reminds me of the old hard drives from the early 2000s.

I've bought quite a few WD Black drives over the last several years & maybe I've been lucky, but they've all been genuine retail drives and had Warranties when I've check on WD's website. This 10TB drive is no exception, I checked WD's website as soon as it arrived and it shows a warranty until 9th Jan 2030.I have 6 of these of various sizes, between 4TB and 10TB and none of these have had any issues so far, they're mostly North of 30,000 hours now.

It arrived in good shape, but it's silly to ask me to review an item like this. Yes it works well, but will it for 10 years? How can one rate or review a purchase that is ment to perform over time. Ask me in 5 years if it still works... That said I have had little issues with any of their products if you install use them right.

Acquistato il W.D. Da 2 Tb attraverso Prime, fino al pagamento veniva specificata la consegna il giorno dopo.... invece è arrivato 4 giorni dopo perchè veniva dall'Inghilterra..... evvabbè.... Poi la cosa che mi ha preoccupato, che il pacchetto contenente l'Hard Disk, seppure l'apparato "galleggiava" in una custodia plasticosa all'interno della sua scatoletta, era costituito da una busta pressappoco come quelle del pane.... e arrivando dall'inghilterra non è proprio il massimo, ma comunque non c'era nulla di acciaccato.... Alla verifica dell'hardware mi sono accorto che il mio Pc Home, seppur una bestia assemblata, non disponeva di cavetteria Sata disponibile allora al volo ho acquistato uno sdoppiatore Sata 3 power e un cavetto Sata 3 dati. Per quanto riguarda le porte libere ne avevo diverse tra Sata III e Express. Arrivato tutto il giorno dopo, mi sono messo all'opera per l'installazione. All'accensione della miccia... l'Hard Disk non veniva visto.... panico..... però poi, con calma attraverso due preziosi tutorial on line l'ho fatto emergere dalle nebbie, e ho fatto l'inizializzazione, la formattazione assegnando la lettera di Volume, e finalmente avevo disponibile un capiente Hard Disk da 2 Tb. Dunque per il momento tutto ok e...... speriamo nel futuro.

I've had a lot of hard drives over the years, but the reliability in performance of Western digital black drives stands above the rest. Yes you can spend less money on a drive the same size, but sometimes you get what you pay for. When you get a Western digital black you get a longer warranty and faster speeds. These drives are fast, quiet, and reliable.I bought this to replace a failed Western digital black 2 terabyte drive of the same model, that was part of a raid array. Mind you, when I say that that drive failed, it did so honorably after 9.27 years of uptime in computers that were left running 24/7. I still have three more identical drives that are the same age, and still working fine. That's well beyond the 5-year warranty. I say computers, with a plural, because when I upgraded to a new computer I continued to use my old, and still functioning WD black hard drives.So with any luck, this new drive will last as long as the old one did, or more.I don't have any heat issues with these, but then again I have a high air flow case, and the drives are installed with fans blowing over them. I did try it one point mounting several drives very close together and and enclosed space, and I did run into heat issues. As long as you have reasonable air flow and you don't pack them too close together, they're not going to get too hot.I know in this day and age still using hard drives is kind of antiquated, but depending on what you use them for and how you use them, they can still have some benefits. I use these in a raid configuration consisting of five identical drives that contain a raid 0 array and a raid 5 array. This way I have the benefit of speed over data protection for one volume, and the benefit of data protection over speed for the other.

I have four of these drives, which I rotate in usage for doing 'system image' backups to. I do an image backup every month, as a just in case measure. If my main drive in my computer dies, I can plug this disk into the external disk housing and restore my system disk within hours (yes, I have a blank disk on hand, same brand/model, so that I can restore the image to). I have had no issues with any of the four disks that I have been using to do the image saves to. Although the disks are not in use everyday, they have handled the job over the years that I needed them to do. For this purpose, they have had a 100% success rate. BTW, 'yes', I create a new system recovery DVD, with each image backup, to have a fresh/current recovery DVD on hand, as the system does go through updates during a month, and you need that reflected in your recovery disk/image save.BTWI highly recommend that a 'system image' backup be done on any new system, immediately after set-up in house. This way you will always have the capability to restore your system to 'new' condition, if anything ever happens to it (system disk crash/infected system).

I have had this drive for a couple months now and honestly couldn't be more satisfied. I settled on this as a compromise since i was originally going to get a cheap SSD for a boot drive and a Seagate Barracuda 2TB for mass storage but decided that a WD Black 2TB would be a good blend between reliability, performance, storage, and overall cheaper rather than the SSD route. The moment i fired my new build up with this thing in it the increase in speed was very much noticeable and welcoming. If i was to complain about anything it would have to be how loud this thing gets in heavy read/write situations. This thing is very loud so if you are making a computer with silence as a priority then you should steer clear of this drive but if you don't mind a bit of noise this thing will do everything you ask of it and the noise i feel is a more than acceptable trade off for the performance and reliability you get with this HDD. Great for reliable mass storage and a fantastic boot drive for an HDD in this day and age. Definitely worth the money 10/10
