Fast and easy transaction. Unit was delivered as expected with no extra fee and on time A+++

Ordered two on the 4th of Mar (Friday) and received both on the 7th (Monday 3/7/2022). Ran all of Sea Tools diagnostics on them and they passed all tests. (Note: the Long Generic test takes ~14 Hrs.). I purchased a D-Link DNS-320 NAS in 2011. It was slow and their 2.05 firmware only supported up to 3 TB hard drives. I found freeware firmware called Alt-F that can be loaded on the DNS-320 and supports the 8 TB hard drives. I loaded the Alt-F firmware and it formatted the ST8000VN004s using Ext 4 in a RAID 1 configuration resulting in a swap file and 7.2 TB of usable storage. I copied almost 4 TB of data to the old NAS, breathing new life into a previously pretty limited 2-bay NAS server.


Added to Unraid array with no dropped sectors.


Fast as I would have expected,,, Faster than External backups Nice to know I have the space, for a while...

I had a NAS drive fail. Was having a battle with the vendor and HDD manufacture about a warranty replacement. I bought this to quickly (new egg shipped it immediately) resolve the issue until I sorted things out with the manufacture and vendor. Still not sorted out after a couple of weeks of back and forth, but good news is this drive is working great.


- SMR Drive!!! - price was great, when on sale

Installed in a As1104T NAS. Installation was simple and the drive has performed well. Its quiet in Operations and, so far, has had no problems in use across the network. Newegg has been a recent "go to" for my network storage needs.

very speed ..

This SATA drive is priced at an excellent cost. Installation was easy. Shipping was quick. I have always had excellent experiences in doing purchasing products at Newegg. They are awesome!

quiet and fast

Great Price

Three of these in Raid 1 work out of the box in my newly built NAS system. It took quite a while for the Drive setup step to complete, though, with 3 of these 16 TB drives churning for over 1 day.

Big Best bang for buck value Quiet. I've read reviews whining about noisy hard drives in NAS boxes. My NAS is currently on my desk. I can hear the drive working but they are not loud.


Formatted and installed with no issues. Very quiet, even quieter than the WD Blue 1TB that it replaced. Very good price, especially when on-sale. Legendary WD quality and reliability. Well-packaged for shipping. 3-year warranty.
