Review: Best for the money - I have used most the top brands....over the last 10 years. I currently run just under 100TB in my desktop, which mostly consisted of the 6TB 12TB drives...and now updated to 18TB slowly. WD Black and Golds thus far I haven't had a single failure in 15 years..... with EVERY other brand usually being replaced due to failure. One thing..... I do NOT use these as working drives. I use SSD..... i DID use two 6TB ssd in raid 0 for about 5 years with no issues.... I JUST replaced it with an SSD, to gain some speed and another sata port back. 18TB is a LOT of data on one disk. As a photographer I shoot about 5-6 TB per year of pics and video. I have adopted my older 12TB drives as the backups in a box... and added the 18TB last fall and this spring as my onboard archive drives.... Thus far.. they have been great with no issues...and no noise... at least that I have noticed. I don't recommend these for much more than archive and backup..... they make FAST onboard archive drives.... hitting speeds regularly of 190-220MB/sec sustained until you get to the last 25%, then they slow down to the more average 120-150MB/sec Packaging. I have NEVER gotten a drive in an envelope, every drive came in an OEM box with the appropriate cardboard or plastic drive suspender that is in most store boxes. More recently they have come in that and bubble wrapped as well inside the box... with two drives even coming in a special box for two drives suspended. IF YOU SHOULD RECEIVE a drive that was just in some envelope and not in an suspended protector inside the box... most likely its not coming from this seller or is being fulfilled by another party. DOCUMENT The wrapping well and just send it back to avoid any issues. Don't even finish taking the drive out, and ask for one in proper packaging. In my current case of nearly 6 years..(Obsidian 800d). I now only have WD black or Golds... computer never shuts off no failures.

### ⭐ INITIALLY OK, BUT WENT BAD WITHIN 60 DAYS
*by J***N on November 20, 2024*

My 4TB WD hard drive was almost full (I take a lot of photos) and I had already tried a 12 TB Seagate drive that was DOA, so I decided to try a 8TB WD drive since my 4TB drive has been fine for several years. It initially was OK and I was able to copy the 4TB drive to it using a common utility (It's not my first rodeo). However, after less than two months I noticed it was taking a while to open files. I ran the CHKDSK utility and it found some bad sectors. I started using it again but after about a week it started acting flaky again. I removed the drive from my main computer and plugged it into one of my backups and ran CHKDSK again. This time there were multiple pages of errors. When it finished I tried to access the drive and the system told me it wasn't accessible. I ran CHKDSK again and it found MORE ERRORS but I ran into the same issue of it not being accessible, so I ran it again. This time it gave me the errors in the attached picture in an endless loop. I went to try to print it but it was over 300 pages. The good news is that I called Amazon (Since I had heard that dealing with WD is a nightmare) and they gave me a one-time exception refund but with a $48 restocking fee. I very nicely asked if there was a way to not pay that and he then got approval for a credit that could be used for a replacement drive. I am assuming this was a one-time issue so I reordered the same drive. I will update here if it also goes bad!
