WD Gold 18TB HDD SATA 6Gb/s 512e

Excellent disk capacity for demanding users and high-quality workmanship

Nivel de ruido ensordecedor, para instalar en un pc, incluso pense en devolverlo. La cache es muy buena y ya no se me quedan las descargas de la fibra 1gb colgadas. Por eso he pensado en darle una oportunidad:-)

Alle Platten ok und laufen super

Disque dur très fiable et silencieux pour des sauvegardes de qualité. Prix du stockage très compétitif et fiable

I have used most the top brands....over the last 10 years. I currently run just under 100TB in my desktop, which mostly consisted of the 6TB 12TB drives...and now updated to 18TB slowly. WD Black and Golds thus far I haven't had a single failure in 15 years..... with EVERY other brand usually being replaced due to failure. One thing..... I do NOT use these as working drives. I use SSD..... i DID use two 6TB ssd in raid 0 for about 5 years with no issues.... I JUST replaced it with an SSD, to gain some speed and another sata port back. 18TB is a LOT of data on one disk. As a photographer I shoot about 5-6 TB per year of pics and video. I have adopted my older 12TB drives as the backups in a box... and added the 18TB last fall and this spring as my onboard archive drives.... Thus far.. they have been great with no issues...and no noise... at least that I have noticed. I don't recommend these for much more than archive and backup..... they make FAST onboard archive drives.... hitting speeds regularly of 190-220MB/sec sustained until you get to the last 25%, then they slow down to the more average 120-150MB/sec Packaging. I have NEVER gotten a drive in an envelope, every drive came in an OEM box with the appropriate cardboard or plastic drive suspender that is in most store boxes. More recently they have come in that and bubble wrapped as well inside the box... with two drives even coming in a special box for two drives suspended. IF YOU SHOULD RECEIVE a drive that was just in some envelope and not in an suspended protector inside the box... most likely its not coming from this seller or is being fulfilled by another party. DOCUMENT The wrapping well and just send it back to avoid any issues. Don't even finish taking the drive out, and ask for one in proper packaging. In my current case of nearly 6 years..(Obsidian 800d). I now only have WD black or Golds... computer never shuts off no failures.

El ruido si es notable cuando está en uso, mucho más que los anteriores, se puede escuchar cómo trabaja en comparación a los que tenia de menor capacidad y rendimiento que éste. Hasta ahora todo Perfecto, lo revise y con software y todo bien, sin uso ni defectos en sectores no estéticos, lo uso para Archviz y me carga las texturas más rápido, además que al pasar mis librerías me tomó menos tiempo que en discos anteriores por las velocidades que maneja.
