17MB Read - 16MB Write - Super SLOW

I'm an IT guy. Do you have many NAS and single or raid SSDs. I connected this 8 TB to a Mac and 17 e.g. B. Read and get 16 Meg Write. I also have an SSD on a regular Mac that shows normal SSD speed. For a long time I transferred a small file to this disk. 7 days for 3TB. -I have many other PCs and Macs. Same slow result s. That's too much money to get at a snail's pace. Forget games. You can travel around the world and back, and this thing hasn't finished transferring 8TB. I will not recommendโ€ฆ

Storage and Fault Tolerance

So for the last 6 months before I bought the WD Black I had a Seagate PS4 hard drive that I overpaid for at Walmart. I needed fast storage so I figured an external hard drive with the Playstation logo would be perfect. Unfortunately in the last 6 months or more the drive has failed and I have had to reformat it several times. The speed on the Seagate was also horrendous. Some time later I saw the news that WD is releasing a new external hard drive for Xbox One and PS4. After looking at phantomโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Well Built
Cons
  • Too Stupid

Hello, as already mentioned, the hard drive is noisy. If you are watching TV or playing or listening to music, you may not be able to hear them. I have two of them, 12TB each. Less than a month later I first noticed a noise from one of them and then the same thing from the second. When the Xbox turns off, two hard drives start spinning every 4 minutes and end with a loud click. I considered returning them because the clicking disk will fail sooner or later. This has happened to me before withโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Acceptable
Cons
  • Difficult to say

Great external hard drive

Overall this hard drive is great and it performs a little faster than advertised! This drive is louder than my other Western Digital external hard drives, which are smaller and run at 5400 RPM and do not require an external power supply. , but they're about 60% slower than this beast. My 4GB WD HD gets about 108MB/s and this 8TB WD HD gets 258MB/s in CrystalDiskMark (USB 3.0)! A little noise is acceptable to me, especially for the speeds this thing produces. The noise isn't like the clickingโ€ฆ

  • Electronics

  • Some little things

Not just for Xbox; Great external drive for PC

I bought a 12TB model. Not sure why the 8TB model is listed for more products and the 12TB model is listed for Xbox only. As other buyers have noted, Windows recognizes it (as 10.9 TB) with no problem. I received this product to use as a spare drive for a RAID 10 array on a Win10 PC used as a media server. What struck me about this product was that for $300 it was very difficult to find an alternative that beats its cost in 1) high capacity, 2) great performance, and 3) an easy to use solution.

Pros
  • data storage
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something

Quickly! Strongly built! Works cool (uh)!

We love the WD_Black D10 Series 12TB External Game Drive. This is a great external solution for PCs and earlier game consoles. I'm speaking up because those launching next month will do best with NVMe SSD solutions when it comes to proper load times and frame rates. There have been some cheaper 12-14TB solutions on the market lately if you don't need the speed boost this solution has to offer. The only thing that could lower the rating in this case is the price (but only if we could lower it by

Pros
  • External Hard Drives
Cons
  • Long delivery time
