BEST SELLERS

In Desktop Internal Hard Drives

FAST hard drive. Very stable. Tons of space.

Before I begin my review on this product, let me set the record straight on something. NewEgg DOES NOT PAY their Eggxpert Reviewers ANY MONEY for a review (GOOD OR BAD - ON ANY PRODUCT)!!! When they 1st asked me to become a reviewer, they told me that I could post ANY TYPE of review that I wanted to, either GOOD OR BAD! The only thing that they asked me to do was to be honest in my review, which I try to be. Now that this is finished, let's start. On June 10, at roughly 12 noon, I purchased 3 items from NewEgg. They were (2) 100 Packs of RiDATA 4.7GB DVD-R's and (1) Seagate Constellation CS ST3000NC002 3TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal HD. Now I'll be honest in that normally I wouldn't buy a 3TB HD from anyone, not even Seagate. This is because I've heard and read too many bad reviews about 3TB HD's quitting before their time or being "DOA". No one, not even myself, likes to deal with a HD that quits before it's "MTBF" comes due. "MTBF" stands for "Mean Time Before Failure" and is generally a Time (in hours) that a piece of equipment is supposed to run for BEFORE it fails. I was originally just going to replace my defective 2TB Seagate with another one. But when I saw that this 7200 RPM 3TB HD was on sale for roughly the SAME price as a NEW 2TB HD I was considering purchasing and after reading the reviews on this HD, I decided to "Bite the Bullet" and buy one. Now I had to wait until the 12th for GoHardDrive to charge my account to pay for the HD which I didn't expect. I expected the S-U-P-E-R-F-A-S-T service I have come to expect and love from NewEgg in which my orders are processed the SAME DAY or the next. Normally I would deduct an EGG for that reason BUT that was my fault for not noticing that the HD was being sold by a 3rd party seller so no eggs on that. I got the (2) 100 packs of DVD's on the 12th W-I-T-H-O-U-T ANY DAMAGE which is nice. Now I've used these same DVD's before and I have to tell you I rate them as an EXCELLANT product. As a matter of fact I was waiting for them to go on sale again JUST so I could order more. Now all I had to wait on was the 3TB HD from GoHardDrive. This is where I hummmm the tune from Jeopardy... Today (the 13th) I got my 3TB HD via USPS. Now for USPS, that's F-A-S-T, I have to admit. The package came in a brown paper cardboard box just barely bigger than the HD itself. The HD was securely double wrapped in HEAVY DUTY bubblewrap and fit into the cardboard box so tightly that I had to fight to get it out. NOW T-H-I-S IS HOW TO SHIP A HARD DRIVE. NewEgg, you ought to take a lesson from GoHardDrive on HOW to do this. I'm sure that all of your customers would appreciate that as well. Regretfully, I won't be able to test the HD until tomorrow morning as I have to go to work shortly, so it'll have to wait until tomorrow to see IF there are any problems with the HD itself. But in ALL HONESTY, considering on how WELL PACKAGED the HD itself was, I don't expect that there will be

Bought 2 of these drives in 4TB size for a hikvision video surveillance system thats been running just short of a year.The drives run cool to the touch and are very quiet.The video play back after months of storage is crystal clear and the drives are very responsive.

Shipping was on time. Package seemed to be in good condition. Even arrived on a rainy day, which was great to backup while the weather was wet. Ran a Self Test on the Drive everything seemed to pass. I didn't monitor the speeds, but it took almost half the day to back up 4tbs of Data. Synced it and took a nap. 8tbs for 110$ is a solid grab. Limited to 2 per person- saved me money because I would of bought more.

Plentiful storage, long lasting, can hold a bunch of games!

I would recommend Western Digital HDDs (or even their SSDs, I've got those, too) to anyone needing to expand or enlarge their existing system. Easy to install and configure to your Windows OS.

Doing LLM training and needed to use a 35TB training file and 3TB validation file. Used 3 of these drives to create a RAID 0 drive with approx 54TB capacity. (this is on Ubuntu and formatted with XFS file system since usual EXT4 tops out at about 16TB file size.) Works great and much faster than a single drive would be due to the striping of RAID 0.

Good price 12gb interface Works well so far in my Adaptec raid 5

I am upgrading from 3tb hdd to 6tb hdd in my server and am having zero issues. The 3tb hdd's performed well but I need more space.

I just put four of these new drives in a server and two more in a NAS. They powered up fine and are doing their job with no complaints from them or me. They are a good value for the price.

These WD HDD's are for my security system servers and they usually last five to eight years. I prefer to buy from Newegg because I still remember they were the first company to really step up the game, and send my stuff the very next day as promised. Way before am zon, who is just out to put the other guy out of business. Newegg never has sent me junk parts, and has always been my PC parts shipper choice.

Going 7 years with zero issues.

Ran 4 of these in a storage array for a few years. They replaced a similar array built on smaller SATA drives. Needless to say, they're muuuuch faster than the SATA drives.

Purchased Sept. 2019, have been using in Video editing, large videos, over 1 hour in length final size and 1920x1080 resolution, for 1 yr. so far. No errors , excellent drive.

Great for storage purpose. Good write speeds

The 6 TB version seemed like the best balance between price, size, performance and noise / heat. This is going in a 4 bay NVR which is in a very quiet environment. So far, these drives seem much quieter than the 7200rpm version (during seek) which are being swapped out 1 at a time to allow the RAID rebuilds to catch up. Temps are 10C lower than the 7200 pro version. (37C vs. 47-49C per SMART data.)

Does not throttle under heavy load or copying large file.
