A nice option for the money, one of the best deals.

Solid, silent, reliable, large-capacity external HDD from a renowned manufacturer (WD) for storing a large number of files. In my opinion, it is ideal for storing a personal home movie library and series.
﻿

Pros

A serious amount of disk space (12 TB) at a nice price (19990 in Amazon). Noiseless at work. Factory formatted to NTFS. Good copy speed (from one USB HDD to another in Windows 10 - about 40 MB / s). Recognized by USB ports of even not new Samsung TVs of 2022 and 2022, for playing video files with their software media players and even an Android smartphone (!) Galaxy via an OTG adapter and the Microsoft exFAT / NTFS for USB by Paragon Software plug-in application for a file manager Total Commander, which allows you to copy downloaded movies and TV shows to this 12 TB drive not only from a laptop, but also from a smartphone, bypassing turning on the PC, which is quite convenient

Cons

Until I noticed Unless it's hard to find Western Digital "screws" of this size on sale, there are only lower quality Seagate: I have a couple of 1.5 and 2 TB disks from this manufacturer have already "died" a sudden "death" in just a couple of years of use for storing film archives connected to the USB ports of TVs - there is no more desire to buy Seagate products, so far only WD and Toshiba hard drives have never failed all the time, but Toshiba does not produce large volumes of 12 or more terabytes, does not produce external "screws" at all, and Western products Why Digital of such volumes has rarely appeared on sale, everyone is hunting for it🙂

Has some pros Writes very fast! I copied a video library of 170 MB / s to it, occasionally it dropped to 140. I have never seen such a high write speed, my other disks are 50-110 MB / s. Got cons: Heads crackle slightly during operation. It can only be in one position. Constant backlight disturbs at night.
