I wanted to replace my 4 x 3TB raid array in my NAS with these 8TB drives to store my photos, videos, and their source files. I was very satisfied with the amount of space that these drives provided but I was not ready for the amount of noise that the drives made. I cannot stress how noisy drives are and I cannot imagine anyone using these in an HTPC or in a quiet area as I can hear the drives make rattling noises from an adjacent room. I originally thought that maybe one of the drives was defective so I proceeded to test them. I have tested each drive individually and I can say that they all consistently sound like a fist full of coins rattling around in a can. If you are thinking of putting these in a machine in a bedroom, living room, or a quiet location I would recommend against it.

I purchased a few of these for my Synology Nas and they work great. They are reliable, fast, and affordable. I have also purchased another one for my personal computer to store large amounts of data and it works great too!

I purchased this to upgrade one if two 4TB hard drive in 2 bay Western digital cloud drive. need more space for my growing media collection. went from 8tb to now 12tb. transfered all my media from back up to the new set up. everyting work's great

I've been using this HDD on a NAS for over a month already, it has plenty of space for my needs (movie storage), and it doesn't make that much noise. You can definitely hear it if you sit close to it, but you won't notice it at all when watching movies and/or if you have another source of noise running (like a mini-split AC). I'm planning to buy another one to set them up as Raid 1, but I'll wait until Black Friday, maybe I'm lucky and can get it for cheap.

I bought two of these to install in a Freenas build in a raid 1 configuration (previous hd failure), and so far it's been running fine 24/7.

Works exactly as expected. I replaced a smaller drive in a Drobo. I have a huge number of photos, and love adding a big drive of this size to increase available space. It's my third WD red drive (but the largest).

Working well all month. It wasn't cheap but it's working

I got this drive to incorporate all my medica I had over the years on 2TB drives into one big drive and it worked out great. The drive is a bit noisy on start up but when reading but no too bothersome.

Overall pretty please with the performance. I'm not a high end user but it serves the purpose. Product came quick and easy to install. Will most likely buy 2 more before the end of the year.

Bought two of these to RAID for my NAS after my latest Seagate 4TB died and I lost alot of valuable data. Here's hoping this one works out. So far I've had no issues.

This drive has been working great. Huge capacity and very quiet. I bought two of these for my NAS drive and no issues so far!

I purchased this to replace a 4TB dirve as I ran out of space on my NAS enclosure. I always used Western Digital Hard Drives as they stand up to the test and have 3 yr. waranty. highly recomend using them in any capacity.

This drive has been running in my media player for almost years and it has been a solid performer without any issues so far.

The western digital red NAS drives give you a ton of storage for a very reasonable price.

Works and fit well. So far so good in our setup. Easy to use. Great quality.

Solid HDD for NAS applications. Worth the higher price.

I’ve been running the WD Red for over six months with no problems. They aren’t cheap but so far so good on dependability

grate for a NAS. good quality long lasting hardrive

This Hard drive died within the first 10min of use. I bought another one and that was died too! I ended up switching brands and that one worked perfectly fine. I guess I had bad luck. That being said, if you get a working one you will be happy. I have bought WD drives in the past with no problems.
