Great External Drive

Unbearably noisy
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The acoustics of this drive are absolutely atrocious, both in the enclosure and shucked bare. Seek noise while active and continuous PWL clicks while idle are insufferable. Previous WD white 8TB and 12TB drives ranged from very quiet to tolerable in operation, but this 16TB is way out of line. Do not buy if you intend to use it for active storage on a desk or even in the same room; the noise will drive you insane. If you're are buying on price/TB alone, the only reasonable use for this abomination is for offline archival or shucking for use in an already noisy PC case or server rack.

2 out of 3 Failed within 2 weeks.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased for $350 before the prices increases on storage which is now $500 ( I would not pay this premium). Only a 5400 RPM drive. If you are looking for more performance I would check another product, but if you are simply okay with large slower storage than this will suite your needs. In addition 2 of the 3 drives I purchased had issues as they would disconnect and would not reconnect display re-plugging the data and power cable using various USB ports and power outlets. As a result I ended up returning all (3) 16 TB drives.
