Good HDD reasonable price. Performance ok for price
Seems to work fine. Windows sees 6 TB. One tip if you are installing the OS (Windows 7, 8 or 10) and want a single 6 TB partition is to hit Shift F10 when you boot the Windows media and convert this disk to GPT partitioning from MBR. You use diskpart to do it.
I'm satisfied with this purchase in terms of reliability, amount of space for the price, noise level. I'll surely buy another in the next few months if the price doesn't go up.
This drive passed every test when I received it and has been in use for one month without any problem; Silent; can't hear it over the my case/videocard's fan; Fast enough to read video files without any issues or hitching; Plenty of space
Price is steeper than when I bought it at 300$; due to the Canadian Dollars losing value
I bought two of these for a new build to replace a bunch of 3TB and 2TB drives. I did not want the weight and clutter so was forced to get high capacity drives. These fitted the description nicely. I generally buy WD drives and for the most part, they have been quite reliable.
This is a re-branded WD Green drive and it uses "IntelliPark" which is a power saving feature and parks the disk heads after only 8s of inactivity. This "feature" leads to a large number of load/unload cycles of the disk heads which causes wear and tear.
A no-surprise purchase here, WD drives have no competitions, I usually buy the Green line, but oddly enough, the Blue was significantly cheaper
I bought this "BLUE" as an alternative to the more expensive 'RED' NAS HDD, as our NAS server is only for backup/home entertainment use and doesn't need the more heavy-duty specs of the 'RED' drive.
