We use these drives in all our surveillance systems. High capacity, reliable, and inexpensive.


Great Main drive and also a Great Back-up drive. Runs Quiet and at the Speed Specified



Got this computer up and running with this hard drive - got it for another computer and than the hard drive crashed on this one ( IT WAS A mediamax ) just quit !!

Preforms as expected.

I am a life long Western Digital fan, sure they have made some mistakes here and there, CRM vs SMR, but every company does. "Knock on wood" I have in 30 years or so of DIY , never had a western Digital HDD drive die on me, had maxtors and seagates. They are plenty speedy enough to server 4k over the LAN for Jellyfin clients.

It is an NAS drive. Expecting reliability. It's a 7200 rpm drive that is as fast or faster than most platter drives.

Trusted name, good value

Great price.

-Works great with UnRaid, no issues, have to as my parity drives (6.2beta) and several as data drives -Great price per TB when you can get them on sale for $259.99

I knew exactly what I purchased and Received exactly that. Will buy from this seller again!

This is such a quiet drive 5 cameras record 24/7 and it doesn't bat an eye


Use for system backups. Works great to backup music, movies and important documents. Works great No blips. Been using for over a year without any hiccups.

What I noticed immediately about this hard drive is that I heard nothing. It is absolutely the quietest hard drive I've owned. In the 20+ days in service, I've experienced no issues. That is typical of Seagate drives that I've used over the years, with my only failures occurring out of the box, or around the 3-year mark. My failures have all been with desktop models, not server/nas or surveillance models. With any given build, the intellectual capital available should never be spent fiddling with hard drives - if there is anything that should be dialed in to one or two quick decisions and then set and forgotten, it is hard drives. This model passes the test. Once formatted and deployed, I made no adjustments and only reviewed the stats from smartctl to verify that it is indeed working properly.
