Western Digital 20TB WD Gold Enterprise Class SATA Internal Hard Drive HDD - 7200 RPM, SATA 6 Gb/s, 512 MB Cache, 3.5" - WD203KRYZ

Perfect!

Nessun roblema di installazione. rumoroso.

I bought 2 drives and one worked fine the second was DOA. The one working fine is good and fast, I like it. I returned the damaged unit and order a new one. New one just arrive and again DOA. I don't know what is going on as these devices are supposed to be the best in class, I think they are not packaged correctly since they come just in a ESD bag in a carboard box. I will order a new one, but from other source.

I’ve had issues with WD drives in the past and stopped using them for almost 20 years. This one was on sale and I figured after 20 years they might have gotten a bit better. And being a supposedly enterprise grade drive I should be ok. Just after a month (and outside of the Amazon return window), the drive is completely dead. Tried multiple external enclosures, one can’t even tell there’s a drive installed, the other let’s windows see there’s an un-initialized drive which it can’t initialize. There’s no sound from the drive at all when powered on or when Windows tries to connect to it. It’s dead silent and there was a smell of burnt electronics on the drive after only 4 power on/off cycles over the course of a month. It was off most of that time. I thought the smell came from a bad enclosure but it seems to work fine and buying a new second enclosure didn’t fix anything. Because I had the drive shipped outside the US, WD won’t honor their warranty. First WD product I’ve bought in 20 years and the last one I’ll ever buy. I should have stuck with the somewhat more expensive but well worth it Seagate Exos drives.

Ce disque dur WD a beaucoup de points positifs comme la rapidité, la stabilité et surtout l'espace. Par contre, il est extrêmement bruyant - Il fait le bruit d'une machine à café en train d'infuser ! C'est vraiment pénible à la longue. J'ai retourné l'article.
