Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is an outstanding hard drive with which to upgrade your DVR. Very high capacity, quiet, and optimized for 24/7/365 operation. It uses the better SMR technology rather than the less efficient CMR tech used in many other “spinner” hard drives. Great for DVRs and NAS deployments and at a very good price point. Mine is going into a 10 year old TiVo so I can record and enjoy hundreds of hours of classic movies. And I’m considering buying several more to upgrade the capacity of my home office Drobo.

This thing is sitting in a synology NAS. Been working great so far.

I have used WD, Toshiba and Seagate drives and these are the most reliable. But the drives seem to die just after the warranty expires, or three years, Granted, I run them 24x7 and some drives have lasted really long, some have died prematurely. Luckily, WD is very good at honoring their warranty. Seagate unfortunately warranties their drives three years from date of manufacture. So if you get an older drive, your warranty is shortened. The Ultrastore drives always seem to be sold by third parties and the warranties are not honored.

Upgraded the 4TB drives in my MyCloudDL4100 to 6 TB Drives. Drives are quiet and work well in my external NAS device.

Put in my NAS and have not had any problems. I use it to keep files in a common place for all in the house to be able to share.

got a terrific price on this item,works great,would buy again,I like wd drives the best out of all the drives

Great price for these 6tb babies. Quiet, stable, and excellent value.

Bought two of these for a Raid 1 setup to store my photos. Setup was quick and easy and no issues so far.

Best spindle hard drive I’ve ever seen! They’re great! I’ve been recommending them to all of my server-running friends. WD has made a believer out of me! Nothing less for me from now on!

These drives are rock solid. Popped them into my unRAID server with 24/7 uptime and haven't hit a failure yet, these are my go-to drives for any long-term storage build for clients. The Packaging is hassle free as well.

Excellent hard drive for my NAS. The hard drive came without any issues. I replaced my old hard drive on my DS 720+ with this one and it works great without any issues.

Bought two of these for my new NAS, work absolutely great! Low/No noise except they rumble a bit when being accessed, but that's OK and expected.

I wish I had more of these. You can't go wrong with these. They do the job and do it right. If you have a NAS this is a must have item.

I need a new hard drive for NA. I have used WD Red drives in the past so I purchased the Plus. It worked perfectly in my NAS

Works perfectly. I bought this drive to use in my NAS. I hope to use it for years.

Other reviews are more tech-focused (and that's a good thing!). Mine's more as a normal user. I bought two of these to install onto a Synology 220+, and the setup was a breeze. They're noisy, as are most NAS hard drives, however they installed with no issues in the bays and are doing their work in the background as we speak. Also, unlike some sold on Amazon, these seem to have the full factory warranty. Wait til a sale like I did!

Great NAS HDD. These are great and very reliable. I have had very little failures with WD.

I purchased 6 of these for a NAS system. They work great and are perfect for what I needed.

It's the heart of a Network Storage device. Reliable, Performant, and Efficient.

low noise and low temperature. 6TB for the data storage is awesome.
