Great product, no problems so far.

-Got for Synology NAS. No issues running well.

plugged in, has worked for the past two weeks. No overt warnings about excessive bad sectors


Easy to installno issues!!!

-Transfer rates are good - average a little over 200MB/s, drive to drive on the same LSI HBA on Unraid if it matters. -Temperature is good - average 30C in a 20C room during continuous transfer of files, about the same as a 6TB (WD6003FFBX), and about 5C lower than a 10TB (WD102KFBX). Idle temp is ~26C. This drive and comparables are in the same server/array. - Noise is relatively low, about the same as a 6TB and noticeably more quiet than the 10TB. - Cost per TB is good when on sale, very close to the largest 18-22TB rate.

- An awesome amount of storage for the money spent - Outstanding performance for a mechanical device


- I hammered this drive with a constant 60 - 180MB RW throughput test for a solid 24 hrs. Not a hiccup and nothing bad to report in SMART table after drive scan before or after this burnin test. - Drive temperature topped at 97 degrees F.

8tb hard drive that works


Fast Shipping! Works as expected.

Name Brand, only 1 drive has failed in the last 4 years out of 150-200 drives installed. Def recommend.


For Synology NAS users, the Synology brand drives means easier adoption, less headaches and fewer notifications. The extra small pennies/gb price per GB over other enterprise drives with worth it. No need to worry about compatibility with many features of DSM 7.1

By MB, the cheapest and reliable HD in the market Will last many years of constant use

I would recommend this product to anyone who need a lot of storage space and response from their drive.

Lots of storage, ease of install

Easy to use

This is a good little high quality hard drive for surveillance systems, as the WD Purple line is designed for the high I\O loads encountered in these systems. I used this drive in my custom server chassis Windows based video surveillance machine, and it had no issue with the several lower definition cameras I recorded to it. Since it is only 1TB and I wanted high retention, I am using this drive for only lower definition cameras, but I tested it briefly with several HD streams as well and it performed flawlessly. The drive feels like it’s well built, and it operates cool and quietly. When benchmarking the speed of the drive, I obtained the following results: Average Read Rate: 121.1MB/s (1000 samples) Average Write Rate:: 117.6MB/s (1000 samples) Average Access Time: 19.94ms (1000 samples)
