    Beware! This disk is NOT NEW

    Beware! This disk is NOT NEW
    I purchased this HDD expecting a new and unused item. However, upon testing the hard drive, I found that it had over 9000 power on hours, indicating that it had been used previously. I was disappointed to receive a used item when I had paid for a new one. I understand that this specific model is several years old, but I expected a new disk, not a used/refurbished one.While the hard drive appears to be functioning properly, I am disappointed that it was not in the expected condition.Please assume that it is used/refurbished. There was no data on the disk though.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic!
    Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2018
    Boy I sure do wish I had never bought a Seagate drive, and had sooner learned how reliable Western Digital drives are. I'm sure this drive is no exception to that rule, and I do not see myself ever buying a HDD from a different company. That being said, I still cannot explain how excited I am to use this drive until it is no longer adequate due to the inevitable technology advances that will eventually make it obsolete.

    Straight out of the box, the drive performs at over 200 MB/s sequential Q32 read AND write. Of course, as to be expected from any drive, the more you fill it the slower it will become, so I have attached a screenshot for a read/write test using CDM at 0% capacity and 75% capacity.

    To address the people that say the drive is loud, I'm not sure what they were expecting from an enterprise DATA CENTER drive. These drives are meant to operate 24/7/365 and are not constructed to be quiet, like one would expect from a drive most people would use on a personal home computer, like the WD Blue series. I've actually found that this drive is even more quiet than my WD Black drive, AND it out performs it (and I'm sure it is even more reliable). Others may even point out how hot the drive can get, as if it is a defect. This, again, is not the case as these drives are made to safely operate at up to 60°C.

    TL:DR - If you are looking for the most reliable drives that also out perform any other drives in its class, and you don't need it to be ultra quiet, you've come to the right place.

    Reviewed in Canada on August 11, 2018
    My current external drive is a NAS rated and is still operational. Statistically though, it is nearing the end of its product life and is just a matter time before it fails. Hence my shopping and building a replacement before it decides to one day give up the ghost.

    I wanted something that gave the best of both performance AND solid reliability. Typically, NAS rated drives are around 5,200 RPM with longevity their focus, however the WD Gold is a fast 7,200 RPM drive with 128MB Cache and has specs that are close even to the fast consumer grade WD Black drive.

    I’ve included some photos Crystal Mark benchmark tests for both ESATA and USB 3.0 for your review. I’m using the Vantec 3.5" SATA 6Gb/s to USB 3.0/eSATA HDD Enclosure (NST-366SU3-BK) found here on Amazon.

    I’ve included a couple photos of benchmarks of both the WD Black and WD Gold which may help you decide which is better for your application.

    Loving the speed of my WD Gold and feel secure with my data. I hope you found this review helpful.

    Cheers.
