Review on 🖥️ WD 14TB Ultrastar DC HC530 SATA HDD - 7200 RPM, SATA 6 Gb/s, 512MB Cache, 3.5" - WUH721414ALE6L4 by Micha Spodymek ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best purchase in my life, I will definitely buy it again.

I could not defeat the noise inside the case. If you remove contact with the metal, it will turn out exactly, but I can’t do it in my case. Before the final installation, I had it lying outside, just on a book, while I copied a few terabytes from my old hard drives. And the sound was practically inaudible, but in the case during active work it’s already straight tyr-tyr-tyr. This sound does not bother me personally, let it rumble as much as you like, but it can infuriate someone else in the room. The speed of reading a 38GB file when copying to an SSD is around 150mb / s. Smaller files are copied at a noticeably slower speed.

Pros
  • Large volume. All the same size.
Cons
  • Pretty noisy. I did not find the declared speed (maybe I'm doing something wrong?). The 5 terabyte partition was defragmented for almost a week.
