Western Digital 8TB WD Black Performance Internal Hard Drive HDD - 7200 RPM, SATA 6 Gb/s, 256 MB Cache, 3.5"

J'ai acheté ce disque dur de 8To pour faire du montage vidéo sur un nouveau PC. Dès que j'ai monté et allumé l'ordinateur, toute la caisse de la tour s'est mise à vibrer et à faire un bruit d'avion qui décolle insupportable. J'ai donc contacté le support Western Digital pour faire un échange standard. Je vous passe toute la procédure, les formulaires, l'envoi du disque... ils ont testé l'engin et ont conclu à la même chose que moi : il y avait un défaut d'équilibre des plateaux du disque et donc - même si le DD fonctionnait - il aurait à terme fini par défaillir. Donc, ils ont accepté l'échange standard. Seulement il n'y en avait pas en stock. La production asiatique n'arrive pas à fournir, à cause des arrêts intempestifs des usines à cause de la CoVid19, donc il fallait attendre... Et j'ai attendu 1 long mois et demi. Je les ai appelé dans le laps temps pour savoir où cela en était et ils m'ont à chaque fois répondu qu'ils attendaient aussi des livraisons. Le disque dur est enfin arrivé, je l'ai monté dans le PC et celui-là ne fait aucun bruit, à part un petit sifflement quand il démarre, ou un petit "cloc" quand les têtes se déverrouillent, mais rien que de très normal pour un 7000 tours. Depuis il fonctionne très bien et j'espère qu'il va durer car j'ai tous mes films de famille dessus. (J'ai des backups sur plusieurs BluRay tout de même et un NAS au cas où). J'en suis très content.

Funciona al 100, instalación rápida y sin fallas

molto molto molto rumoroso sembra un vibratore a tutto volume !! insopportabile !!! gira troppo forte , e la velocità di trasferimento è nella media, ho fatto un errore a comprare questo dovevo scegliere il 5700 , ora dato il costo devo tenerlo, ed ho paura che dato il rumore e le vibrazioni esagerate la durata sarà limitata !! non ha nessun pregio , evitate se potete. ( la spedizione è stata dentro una busta di cartone senza nessuna protezione !! )

It's a WD Black. That should be enough said, but for the sake of clarity let me explain: I've owned/recommended several WD black drives since around 2010 and never had ANY issues with them, even well past their warranty period. I still have two old 1TBs that work good as new. All WD black drives I've dealt with have been rock solid reliable. Can't say the same about some competitors or even other WD product lines. Here's to hoping this (8TB) drive carries on the torch for many years to come! I've read some complaints online about noise, and initially was concerned about it. I am happy to report that this thing is very quiet! No clicking, whirring, ticking or loud seeking noise when reading or writing to it. When backing stuff up to it all I heard was some faint seeking noise, and not much at that. Performance? It's reasonably fast. It's no SSD, but it's no slouch either. Faster than some other HDD's I have lying around. To get a decent idea of its performance, see the attached screenshot. (Benchmark is from CrystalDiskMark 8.0.4 using Default profile). Would I recommend this over other drives? Absolutely. Would I buy more of this same drive? Of course! Overall 10/10 hard drive.

The Western Digital WD Black series has consistently been a benchmark for high performance and reliability in the storage world. With the introduction of the WD8001FZBX, an 8TB model, these standards appeared to continue. Out of the box, the HDD promises stellar specifications. The 3.5" SATA HDD, complemented by a 256MB cache, indicates swift data access and efficient operation. While I refrained from unpacking the drive due to warranty concerns, online reviews consistently laud its performance. Users celebrate its rapid file transfers, immediate data retrieval, and adaptability across various workloads – casual browsing, heavy video editing, or expansive game libraries. The drive's 8TB storage is a significant selling point, appealing to many users. Whether you're a multimedia specialist, a dedicated gamer, or someone needing substantial backup space, this drive seems to cater to all. However, amidst these praises, there's a crucial caveat that buyers in Singapore need to be aware of. After contacting Western Digital, I was informed that the warranty for this specific model isn't valid in Singapore. This was, undoubtedly, a dampener. Warranty support isn't just a luxury; it's often the safety net for any electronics purchase. For potential buyers in Singapore, I'd strongly advise checking the serial number upon arrival with WD to clarify warranty coverage. Being forearmed with this knowledge is crucial, especially given the investment. The Western Digital WD8001FZBX WD Black 8TB garners significant praise for its performance based on widespread user reviews. Yet, caution is the watchword, especially for buyers in Singapore.
