This WD drive is the best backup solution in my opinion. Multithreading is not his forte, but for unhurried rare work - "the very thing"

The disk within has the identification number WD80EDAZ-11TA3A0, as displayed by Smart. The true rotational speed is 7200 revolutions per minute. This is not accurate, as determined by vibration analysis using a spectrum analyzer; the number 5400 is written everywhere. According to the information found on the internet, the disk does not contain helium but rather regular air. Various pros: No way, SMR! I made it a point to perform benchmarks that involved writing non-linearly to the disk for an…

At this point, there are already three of these items in the house. It is preferable to have external cooling in times of significant heat because it can go a little warmer, reaching an average of sixty degrees. Unquestioningly, but there was some concern that developed, which, praise be to God, was not justified. Pros: It's the most when considered as an external stationary hard. There was no heat, no noise, and there was no tremor. Very well suffered a loss in value over the course of the…

The first 6 months it works fine, the speed and temperature stink a little, the second 6 months they start to worry, after that it buzzes incessantly, and it already infuriates! It’s strange that I didn’t find such reviews here, I read about it before buying, everyone wrote about squeaking and buzzing, they say, the factory marriage of the series and all that.

It surprises me that the disk works even when the laptop does not access it. That is, the laptop can be asleep or even turned off, but the disk can start up and work quite audibly (especially at night). You have to turn on the power supply from the outlet so that it does not start unnecessarily. Since simply turning off or sleeping the computer is not enough for this. Even if you remove the disk from the system, this does not guarantee that it will not start up and will not begin to rustle…

I have been using this hard drive for a year now as a home storage. Immediately after the purchase, I scanned it for the condition of the sectors, they all turned out to be in excellent condition. Recently scanned again - everything is the same. Under the conditions of home use, the hard drive practically does not consume its resource, and if it is not dropped, not heated by extraneous means and operated only in a strictly horizontal / vertical position, it can serve for an extremely long…

The drive became inoperable after an interval of 11 months. Symptoms: - the disk is detected by the system, but it cannot be opened, and its volume is not displayed in Explorer; - on the hard drive itself, the lamp behind was constantly flashing. I took apart the case, removed the hard drive from the computer, and then tested it by installing it in a standard machine. It was successful. Hooray. Because there wasn't enough time to figure out what the issue was, it is obvious that it is either…

Well, I don't know. I took a disk to store media files, mostly movies. He copes with this task. I connect directly to the TV-3D, HD-all drags. So I have no complaints about him.

Its pros: I bought this wonderful model 1.5 TP - a year ago, tested it with my brother, downloaded movies and games directly to the WD-shku, we use it every day, both when starting games and when viewing the archive and downloading new films. Cons: One thing is a pity, the memory quickly ran out, we will take it - exactly the same model. I advise everyone - price-quality - really checked! And what they say: it makes noise, heats up, or cracks - there is nothing like it at all . Most importantly

Bought and forgot about it. Not a single complaint in a year and a half of work. I download movies and music. I distribute a lot. A couple of times the electricity suddenly disappeared, but this did not affect his subsequent work in any way. Good disc for a low price. Especially valuable files I copy on pigs. It is wiser to have backup copies than to lament later about their loss. Technology is technology, someday even the most reliable one will break down.

With its pros. This is the third purchase of WD external drives. The first served non-stop for 7 years. Let's see how his modern brothers in the shop will work. Cons: No documents for a guarantee or something like that, but this is more a question for the seller, not the manufacturer.

The exchange rate for such a disk volume is, of course, not enough 15-20 Mb / s, but I think everyone knows this, so we know what we are going for. I use everything as an archive: photos, videos, books, etc. I already have the fifth one of this series. In fairness, it should be noted that as the disk fills up, it goes into the archive itself and is not used very often as needed. I do not use it as a torrent exchanger (I use another WD 1Tb of an earlier series in this capacity). I'm afraid to…

2 months without shutdowns. Torrents, watching movies. The temperature is normal, there is no noise. Bought a second one, we'll see.

He took the disk out of its box and stuck it into the computer case. The temperature is 42 degrees. Inside was a "black" WD1502FAEX !

I used this device as a repository for films. Naturally, I collected everything that was in the apartment on it. After three weeks, he began to disconnect from the computer and turn on himself. , and all over again. I managed to copy short films. I will send the rest to the seller. (((

Surprisingly calm and peaceful. Even late at night, it is not heard at the workplace in general (I set the copying of the backup to itra). The cache is automatically reset to the feint state whenever the shutdown button is used. This state is the hardware equivalent of "safe removal." It is still the 20th century, despite the fact that it is predicted that devices of this capacity would have a USB 3.1 interface with a USB-C connection. The pace at which data is written to disk, on average, is…

I took it for chia farm, 10 TB for that kind of money is a very good choice. Also suitable for almost eternal storage of media, even for games if you have usb 3.0

I used to suffer from garbage and recorded it on optical discs, stored it, after buying this device I realized that I had to buy this box initially. There are already three of them. Happy as an elephant.

Not a single complaint in six months. I create critical living conditions for him. 1) He is always with me everywhere. 2) I immediately connect it from the cold, I almost don’t wait. 3) 4 months often worked on the same outlet with an old refrigerator, due to power surges often cut off the movie, the game and rebooted. I try to improve and treat him more tenderly.

I have two HDRs of this series - 12 and 16 TB. For two TVs and as a fallback with backup, respectively. Noticed the peculiarity of these discs. It is necessary to do a full format before the first recording so that the disks do not click during operation and read errors do not occur. Some pros: Good design with a mirror surface, long enough cables included - a good option for a media library. Has cons: It would be nice to support USB 3.2 Gen2 and faster drives inside so that less time is spent…
