    I’ve used WD hard drives for years and they’ve all proved to be very reliable. I needed more space in my NAS so upgraded my WD 10tb drive to this 18tb drive. I’ve been using it for a several weeks now and so far it’s working great! Best thing is I was able to save a little money by picking it up at a good sale price!

    I am using my 18TB WD Red Pro as a local backup repository for my PC. It replaces a smaller HDD that was doing a good job but was getting to be too small. So far, it's been doing a fine job, I've had no issues with it. I installed it in a previously vacant slot in a multi-drive external HDD enclosure without any problems.

    I bought 2 of these for my computer. I bought 1 last year and that one also still works like a charm. The 2 drives I bought this year works great without any issues. These 2 drives were manufactured in 2024 of December. Takes a bit to spin up once powered on but works flawlessly with zero issues. Copying transfer speed is around 150-190mbps. Will be buying another 1 this weekend!

    I have been running this drive for video editing and I am very satisfied with it's performance. I have used almost all of it's capacity so I may need to add another one.
