There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Started out with two drives in SHR1 (one drive fault tolerance). It took about three days for the NAS to initialize them. The second two drives arrived, I put them in and told the NAS to switch to SHR2 (two drive fault tolerance). Eight days later, I'm 40% through initializing the second drive! The good thing is that this conversion should give the drives a good initial workout.
So far, no bad sectors. The drives run at about 35C / 95F in a room that is about 75F. Drives are nice and quiet. I can hear the usual hard drive clucking sounds if I'm right next to it, but from six feet away there is no sound. Hopefully the drives hold up and I'll update the review if any issues come up.
Only complaint is that it would be nice if there was a more comprehensive test suite like the Seagate Iron Wolf drives, which Synology can access directly.
I gave it a 4 on noise level. It doesn't bother me, but you can easily hear the heads moving in a quiet room. Some people would be bothered, but most would not. A drive engineer once told me that if they make them too quiet people complain because they can't tell when the drive is working!
I see that Amazon has stopped selling these directly. I tried to buy through them, but they kept sending the wrong product. I went to another vendor, and got what I needed on the first try.

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.

comment prouvé que je crois en WD pour mes données ? j'ai 49 tera et je ne fais pas de raid, 47 si je ne compte pas mon disque C.
je suis passé par toute les version, les RED fonctionne a merveille, leurs vitesses est plus que suffisance a 5000/m pour lancer des fichiers vidéo de 50 giga, c'est mon 2e 10 to dans ma machine, ce qui est impressionnant c'est la vitesse a laquelle les prix diminue.
en 2004 un disque de 300 giga coûte 130 euro
en 2017 un disque de 3 to coûte 130 euro
en 2018 un disque de 10 to coûte 500 euro
en 2019 un disque de 10 to coûte 350 euro
