    Customers are mixed about the noise level of the computer drive. Some mention that it's very quiet, while others say that it gets a little noisy when the file lookup tables get busy. This will cause excessive vibrations and noise, along with higher power usage. Some customers also say that the units make some clinching noises, which they assume is normal work.

    How to install the drive on Windows 10 if disk management is not giving you formatting options...

    How to install the drive on Windows 10 if disk management is not giving you formatting options...
    I thought I would post my own experiences in trying to mount this 10TB drive into a brand new Win10 build. Current application for the drive is media storage on a media PC. Review will follow.Specs: Asus Z270K mobo, Samsung m.2 960 500gb boot drive, 16TB Ripjaw DDR4, GTX550Ti GPU, i7 4.2ghz Kaby Lake quadcore CPU, HAF XB case. The case allows for "hot-swapping" of drives.The main issue was that the disk management was having trouble"seeing" the 10TB Red NAS drive in an internal bay but could recognize it in an external enclosure (which does no good for long-term use). Disk management "saw" the drive as having two partitions but when I right-clicked over options to try and format it, the selections were grayed-out and couldn't be accessed.I called WD Customer Support the following steps rectified the issue. The disclaimer here is that you should only try this if you know what you're doing. It will wipe the drive clean and if you select the wrong drive, you will be in a world of poop.The screenshot will hopefully help.1. Left click Cortana icon2. In the search panel type in CMD (this will bring up the black command screen with text that you see on the upper left)3. Type diskpart (all one word)4. Type list disk (separate words)5. Take note of which drive you want the system to format (in my case it was Disk 1 which is 9TB). YOUR DISK NUMBER MAY VARY.6. Type select disk (insert number no parentheses, separate spaces)7. type clean DOUBLE CHECK THAT YOU ARE WIPING THE CORRECT DRIVE8. right click on windows start menu and scroll up and select Disk Management9. the drive should appear and you can then select it and begin the formatting process4 stars: data transfers at 150-160MB/s internal SATA and 90-130 on USB 3.0 on a Sabrent enclosureEasy install, but as described above, I had hassles actually getting Windows 10 do recognize the drive. This may be due to the fact that it was initially formatted on a Windows 7 PC. It's a pretty quiet drive so far and the data access speeds are just dandy for a HTPC.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Very reliable drives, highly recommended
    Reviewed in Canada on November 10, 2018
    I've had very good luck with WD Red drives over the years in terms of reliability.

    I've currently got 6 x 4TB (4 of which are in a RAID 5 array), 2 x 8TB, and 2 x 10TB. I've had a number of 2TB drives as well. All have performed very well.

    - Very reliable drives
    - Low power consumption
    - Operates at low temperatures
    - Quiet operation

    Drive comparison:
    10TB: 256MB cache, 210 MB/s sequential performance
    *8TB: 128MB cache, 178 MB/s sequential performance
    6TB: 64MB cache, 175 MB/s sequential performance
    1-4TB: 64MB cache, ~150 MB/s sequential performance

    *The 8TB sold here (model WD80EFZX) has a 128MB cache, but it's worth noting that there's other versions of this drive (models WD80EFAX and WD80EMAZ) which have a 256MB cache.

    The 8TB/10TB models use a sealed helium chamber to reduce platter friction — HGST developed the technology for their expensive enterprise drives and WD acquired this technology when they purchased HGST. WD has now implemented it in the consumer space relatively unchanged but at roughly a fifth of the cost.

    (I've had a number of Seagate drives in the past as well but I'll never buy another Seagate product as most of my Seagate drives failed rather miserably, including 2 in a RAID 5 array which failed almost simultaneously, resulting in the loss of a lot of important data. A couple of years ago Backblaze noted that their Seagate drives had a 73.5% survival rate over 36 months, with a burst of deaths near the 20 month mark. Their WD drives had a 94.8% survival rate over the same period — i.e. the WD drives were 5x less likely to fail within the first 3 years when compared to Seagate.)

    My biggest gripe is actually unrelated to the product itself but with Amazon's limit of 1 drive per customer — this really makes no sense for NAS drives seeing as most people will need 2-4 of them. To use an audio analogy, this would be like having a limit of 1 speaker or 1 DJ turntable per customer... pretty silly.
    (EDIT: I can confirm that you're able to reorder after exactly 7 days.)

    While not specific to this drive, I strongly recommend doing an 'Extended Scan' on all new HDDs you purchase to check for bad sectors before using them (whether WD, Seagate or otherwise.) It takes a bit of time but well worth it. If you find any bad sectors you can do an RMA before entrusting it with your data. For WD drives, you can use DLDIAG (Data Lifeguard Diagnostics) which you can download free from WD's website.
