- Reviewed in Canada on July 6, 2024Verified PurchaseSeems to be a decent drive at a good price point. I popped it into an iCan all aluminum drive enclosure to use as a file backup device and for Acronis Images. It just takes a few clicks in Windows 10's Computer Management console to get the drive set up. Large file transfer speed seems to top out around 230 MB/s, which is very good. Drive is quiet and runs cool at 36¡ãC under load. It uses CMR recording technology, not the slower SMR. Very happy with it so far.
- Reviewed in Canada on January 28, 2025Verified PurchaseI decided to save some money by buying this drive used. Unfortunately, I did not save any money and just wasted time instead. I tested the drive and discovered it was defective upon arrival. It was advertised as used without its original packaging. What the description did not say was that it was used with no packaging. A plastic bag is not nearly enough to protect a delicate hard drive during shipping. The drive was returned and I received a full refund a couple of weeks later. I bought a new one directly from the manufacturer instead.
- Reviewed in Canada on January 28, 2025Verified PurchaseBeen running for a month, no problems. Good drive.
- Reviewed in Canada on October 19, 2024Verified PurchaseBought two in total, and one works. The other one was DOA, did not spin up and was refunded. The functional one is quiet, in modest temperature. Same as some other buyers mentioned, the advanced power management and intelli head parking cannot be accessed, neither adjustable. So the magnetic head parks after 8 seconds of idle time. Hope it lasts.
- Reviewed in Canada on August 26, 2024Verified PurchaseThe hard drive did not come pre formatted for windows but a click of a button had the disk manager partition and format the drive.
Works perfectly.
- Reviewed in Canada on August 16, 2024Verified PurchaseNAS couldn't even boot when this was plugged in, put it into another system and it could see it but it wouldn't initialize. I saw the ocean of DOA reviews, but I thought I'd role the dice. Not doing that again, I returned it and went to Canada Computers for a Seagate drive.
- Reviewed in Canada on April 5, 2024Verified PurchaseAlways had good luck with WD drives, and so far this one is no different. Drive is CMR and not SMR recording technology, which is the main reason for buying this model.
Is it whisper quiet? No, but it isn't what I'd call "noisy" either.
Happy with this drive.
- Reviewed in Canada on November 18, 2024Verified PurchaseDrive was DOA, I read the reviews and saw others having similar issues and decided to take a chance given I had ordered WD Blue drives in the past with no issue. However unfortunately this drive was DOA, tried it on 2 different systems with 3 different cables and no success to be found. Gets 2 stars only for the fact that my other WD drive still is running like a champ.

1.0 out of 5 stars 1 star is too much
Verified PurchaseBrand new 8TB HDD died 3 days after install after I had migrated all my other HDD's to it losing 6TB and 10 years of data. Drive is completely unrecoverable and unable to even be used with a new partition.
Stay far away from WD.
