Review: Excellent hard drive - Works perfectly and is quiet. I use it in my raid storage and which has four 6tb each some the storage capacity is great. It just slots straight in to the raid so is easy to install. The price is great as they seem to last longer the other makes of hard drives
Review: Great Value and Highly Recommended - I recently picked up this Hard drive to go into my Ugreen NAS, and it has been great. I bought it specifically to host my Plex media server and also to keep all my private files safely stored away. I'm really happy with this purchase as it's doing exactly what I needed and I feel it was good value for money. The first one I received was actually faulty and my NAS didn't recognise it at all, but the seller was brilliant and replaced it straight away without any fuss, which was a huge relief. When it comes to how the drive performs, it’s reliable and the speeds are decent for what I use it for—it handles streaming from the Plex server with no issues. Even though I had a slight snag with the first one being faulty, the quick replacement service means I still highly recommend this Hard drive to anyone looking for one.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Trustworthy Storage
*by B***. on 10 February 2025*

I have been purchasing HDDs for many decades now and I am sticking to the Western Digital brand because I trust WD to reliably store my data (all personal, including many TB of family video). Some HDDs are on 24/7 with constant access and can get hot, especially when the ambient temperature is high during summer, and I choose WD Red for these more demanding uses. As a personal user, I carefully pick the size and style (e.g. Green Blue Black Red, Red Plus, Red Pro) to give the best price per TB and performance for intended usage. I am paranoid about preserving data and have a rigorous strategy of redundant usage and multiple backups which I have had to prove on occasions due to human error. I do not expect HDDs, from any brand, to last forever though some are still going strong after 20 years with no hint of degradation. In my experience, a few % of HDDs start to show signs of problems after 5 years, and I constantly monitor the raw read error count. These WD HDDs keep going reliably with 100% data integrity for years after the first signs of problems, allowing me time to choose how to retire/replace. I have never had a WD HDD fail catastrophically, it is always a graceful degradation, hence why I trust WD to look after my data.
