    Big Backup but it's noisy and loud

    I like that it has 8 TB for a full backups of several of our systems but it makes a lot of noise and sounds clunking in the background while it's reading/writing. Not sure if this is normal. Our other WD products are quiet. Have to dismount it from auto backup because it is so noisy and loud. Then re-engage when needed. Not ideal since remembering to do so could be overlooked.

    Quite good product and huge storage. I have a few of them: all work fine for 2-3 years without any problems. But in hot weather I use some external fans to keep them cool.

    Shucked or not, these drives continue to be a great deal. Until SSDs become cheap and roomy, there will be a need for platters like these: big, reliable and server grade. Just shucked 2 to put in a WD My Cloud Ex2 Ultra RAID 1...

    Western Digital makes some very reliable hard drives. I’ve had this drive for over a year and I use it strictly as a back up to my Mac. It’s fast, reliable and you can’t beat the price for safe quality storage.
