Review on 18 TB External HDD Western Digital WD Elements Desktop, USB 3.0, black by Vinay Ahuja ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

It was a reasonable purchase, I will order more.

The disc just arrived today, let's see how it will be in long-term work. We also use the Seagate Backup Plus Hub 8 Tb, its speed is 2-2.5 times less, but it does not heat up so much.

Pros
  • Good write speed. In two streams 90+70 or 80+80 (locally + from the network)
Cons
  • It gets very hot, after a speed test of 52 degrees. If you hold it with your hand, it feels like every 5 seconds it kicks slightly / twitches.
