Excellent drive. It's fast and has worked flawlessly. I am very impressed. You can't get better storage for less. Great deal!

Works amazingly as a drive to contain all games for an OG modded Xbox.

I bought this for a home data storage server and it seems to be working. I have no issues with video playback over my network with this and it seems to be functioning with no issues. I got a pretty good deal for the capacity.

Noisy. Makes a lot of noise. Used for security camera recordings. Lasted less than two years before going bad. Now I see why the warranty is only one year. Need to replace. Will not buy this again!

I purchased this product as the replacement NAS drive for my security camera system. Initially, I was a little hesitant about getting a generic brand and I wasn't sure about its quality. Yet at approx. $40, what's there to lose. So I gave it a try. I'm glad I did. It turned out to be the best purchase I've ever made. Here are the things I really like about this hard drive:1) Clear Instructions: It comes with a small 1-page instruction card. (The words are sorta in "fine" print...very small). In my opinion, everything is clearly written. I didn't have any confusions. Mind you that I am not a techie AT ALL. But I can follow instructions well.2) Easy Installation: Since I got this as a replacement for my existing NAS hard drive, I didn't have any problem figuring out where and how to place this hard drive on my system. I basically reversed the steps I took for deinstalling my original hard drive and making sure all the cables/wires were connected correctly and securely. And that's it on the hardware part.On the software side, the instruction mentioned that one needed to format the drive for the initial install. In my case, I didn't really have to because my system had already detected the new drive and all my cameras were already functioning. Either way, I still clicked on "format" drive on my system and after a short time, everything was working again just as before.3) Large Storage Space & high-speed RPM: I really like this drive offers 3TB storage space and is at 7200 RPM speed. This really helps my video feed run more smoothly. My previous drive that came with the security system only had 2TB and was at 5400 RPM.4) Hardly any noise: Compared to my previous NAS drive, this is a super quiet drive. I can hardly hear any noise, only occasionally. My previous drive was constantly buzzing, which was a nuisance.5) Solid Quality & Compatibility: I've been using this drive for over a month, everything works fine. There are no issues whatsoever. It is compatible with my security camera system.6) Great Price & Made in Thailand: After doing some research, I realized that most of the name brand hard drives are produced in Thailand. This generic brand is also produced in Thailand. This gives me a little confidence about the product source. And it only costs 1/3 or 1/2 of the price of a name brand hard drive for the same amount of storage space & speed.As you can read, I only have great things to say about this product. For a non-techie, I'm really happy this hard drive worked out for me and I wasn't stressed out during the installation process. Easy-peasy :)

Like wasn't a factor. I was satisfied with my purchase.

Great drives at a decent enough price. Sort of stupid giving these 5 stars for Cap - they’re 3T drives, if you need more, you obviously would be seeking larger cap drives.. Either way though, these so far appear to be a decent enough value. I replaced 2 of my older WL 3T that ran mostly non-stop for 5.7 yrs before giving up the ship.yes I pushed those 2 ‘as an experiment’ and this is more of a temp use NAS anyway. Wil see how these survive the long term but for now, loaded up, synced in the Raid quick and are mostly quiet. good deal, good price, storage array stable.

I ordered two of these drives and they arrived quickly and were packaged well. Both were individually boxed and sealed in anti-static bags. The outside of the boxes labeled the drives as new and a visual inspection did not indicate to me that these had been previously installed or used. There were no scratches or blemishes so I do believe that they are new drives. I have only installed one so far, but it is currently running well inside my main computer. I did read the reviews before I purchased them and was confident that the drives would function, but wanted to test it out before relying on it to hold important data. The drive that I installed reads as a Hitachi drive and I copied a large amount of data to it immediately to verify that it was functioning properly. Copy/Read/Write speeds were normal for this type of drive and it took over 2TB of data without error. I randomly copied data back from the drive also without error.Other reviewers have commented on the noise, and I agree the noise level is high compared to other drives. I have it in a large tempered glass case and I'm able to hear it when it is in operation. To be fair, my water cooler makes almost as much noise, so the noise isn't a deal breaker for me. Overall, I am extremely happy and will buy more of these in the future.
