    Excellent HDD

    I included this HDD in my first pc build. I use it to store my photo and video archives. It is a fast drive, and lives up to its specs. I have found it to be very reliable. I was able to get it at a very good price. I am so impressed by it that I bought a second one, that I have put into an external drive housing. I use that as a backup drive. If you want a fast HDD, you can't do better than this one!

    Outstanding Performance for NVR

    I recently purchased the WD - BLACK 6TB Gaming Internal Hard Drive, not for gaming but to use in my NVR system for security cameras, and it has exceeded my expectations. The drive's performance is top-notch, with fast read and write speeds that ensure smooth and uninterrupted recording of high-definition footage 24/7. The 6TB capacity provides ample storage space for days of video, and I haven't noticed any lag or issues, even with multiple cameras recording simultaneously. It's also quiet and runs cool, which is a huge plus for continuous operation. Highly recommend this hard drive for anyone needing reliable, high-performance storage for an NVR or similar use!

    The drives have performed well so far. Setup as a strange solution within windows for data redundancy. Worth these two running I feel confident my data will remain safe (still do external backups). They are speedy and responsive and reliable.

    I have been using this 6TB drive on a CyberPowerPC Gaming computer for a few months now. The performance and speed are very good. No complaints. I would recommend it to anyone needing additional storage space, but looking for something more economical than an SSD.

    Was a bit wary about buying another WD drive given their spotty reputation in the past vs. brands like IBM / Hitachi / HGST, but their Black drives seem to be more competitive these days so took a chance on them, and so far so good. Initially they seemed a bit loud when reading / writing vs. my Seagate Ironwolf drives, but seem to have quieted down since then.

    I bought this and it turned out to be very noisy so I feared mechanical issues. I got it replaced and this one seems to be okay. However, still slower than my expectations (I do coding), so would go for an SSD the next time.
