SO NOISY
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I just got it so I don't know how well it operates BUT it is so distractingly loud! I have 2 5TB G drives connected as well but they are so smooth and silent. The constant crunch crunch struggle of this hard drive is definitely distracting while editing. It sounds like its dying.

Posted .Hello Muggle, Please be informed that hard drives produce some noise when they work. The amount and kind of noise depend on what the hard drive is doing like reading or writing data. It's good to know which sounds are normal and which might mean there's a problem with the hard drive.

Awful...returning.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have used plenty of WD products in the past without issue but this product is, to put it politely - trash. The clicking is unbearable. I've had the drive for less than a week and have suffered no less than 100 "drive not disconnected properly" errors. A data transfer task that should have taken me 20 minutes has now cost me almost an entire week while risking my data in the process. Will be returning today.

I would recommend this to a friendGreat if NEW
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've purchased several of this throughout the years in various capacities and have been relatively happy with them. These are great drives when they send you a FACTORY NEW drive, not one that someone shucked and stuck an old drive into. They won't honor returns if this happens to you.

Mine seems defective
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I spent almost $400 on this hard drive to organize all of my photo and video library. When I plugged it in, it was spinning noisily. I’m afraid I’m going to have to purchase a new one because it sounds like this one is defective. Unfortunately, it’s past the return period.

I would recommend this to a friendQuality control is worst I’ve seen
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I jave now gone through two of these and they were defective out of the box. First was housing the wrong sized drive. Bought a 20TB and when it booted up, only had 14TB of capacity. Returned that one, brought the second one home and the i/o board was clearly out of alignment as soon as I tried to plug the power and USB in. Had to wiggle it quite a bit to even get the cables to plugin, and then one I plugged it i to my computer, nothing. Dead on arrival. It seems the low price we are seeing here is likely a new product line where they slap refurbished/returned drives into a cheaply built housing, and there is very little QC happening as they get stuffed in the box. Very disappointed.
