Western Digital HDD Gold 2 TB SATA 128 MB 3.5 Inch

Normally I buy WD red pro drives for my NAS, but this l drive is currently priced cheaper for reasons I don’t understand. Not complaining! It’s a solid, high spec enterprise grade drive with a no quibbles 5 year extended warranty. I had zero issues registering the drive. Used this drive to switch out a 10 year old 3TB WD Red in my Synology NAS. The SHR RAID rebuilt itself with no issues, and it is happily whirring away. I was concerned it might be a lot noisier than the REDs, but I haven’t noticed any real difference from the larger capacity RED Pro drives that I already have. 10TB seems to be the cost/capacity sweet-spot right now. I’d definitely buy again next time I need to replace a drive

Great drive, WD know their stuff - much like the rest of the world, I went off Seagate a long time ago (they're probably decent enough now) but I've stuck with WD for years and, hopefully without jinxing it, they've been wonderfully reliable in my Unraid NAS setup 👍 WD Golds have been somewhat good value for money - anything <=£200 for an 8TB unit is a steal in my opinion. Enterprise grade reliability and not too loud either - they're a little on the warm side but adequate cooling sorts that out. Highly recommended! I'm running a mixture of WD Reds & Golds in 3-8TB capacities and they're brilliant.

Super

A little noisier than WD reds but they’re in a NAS in the server room (aka cupboard under the stairs) so not an issue at all. 5yr warranty and got them at the same price as reds so very happy.

Only 239 hours of use (~10 days), and the drive already has unstable sectors. Practically new, yet failing now I have to try data recovery. If it fails, I will lose my data. ;( Very disappointed in WD’s reliability.

I'm a Mac user who does a lot of sound and video work, requiring fast, robust external hard drives that can handle constant data reads and writes, hour after hour, month after month. A couple of my 10-15-yr old La Cie "d2" drives were making odd little sceeches, throwing up bad blocks, requiring Disc Repair... the tell-tale signs of impending physical failure. I balked at the cost of new d2s, especially when my issue was with the old hard discs inside the enclosures. Furthermore, the old d2s were integrated into my production set-up, and I didn't want to replace all my long data leads, hubs, etc., right now, just because LaCie now favour different transfer protocols on all their pro drives. A bit of research suggested that the hard discs within the d2 enclosures were probably no better than good Western Digital or Seagate ones, so I bought two WD Gold hard discs for the less than the price of a single new d2 drive of equivalent capacity. I'm competent at tech repairs, but not a computer engineer. The d2 enclosures are solid metal, everything is screwed together (no plastic, sticky gunk or double-sided tape), and the boards and connection ports in mine were still in good condition. Swapping out two drives was a doddle, taking about 10-mins per unit, requiring nothing more complicated than a couple of slightly esoteric screwdriver heads. After two months of sound/music production the most-used WD Gold drive has been completely reliable inside the old LaCie enclosure: the whole thing is just like a brand new d2, in fact.

First off these drives aren't cheap and probably not suitable for general users... They aren't even the fastest or quietest drives out there, but I do find them highly reliable and therefore in my use case top choice. I've gone through more hard drives then I can remember, but all my Western Digital Golds are still going strong and in some cases have move through three different computers. I don't even notices as many errors creeping in after three years as with other drives... From personal experience I find I'm pretty lucky if other makes/models of mechanical hard drives are still useable after three years.

Relatively fast, reliable, as described and not made by Seagate! A bit noisy though - with audible clonking noises - not advised for where that might matter. Ignore the poor review on here from the guy that doesn't understand the difference between raw and formatted capacity. For reference 14TB manufacturer raw measurement = 12.73TB formatted without any file system overhead.

Para ser un disco mecánico su rendimiento a nivel de copiar archivos se asemeja mucho a un SSD en un puerto de 3 Gbps. El ruido para ser de 7200 rpm es bajo. El precio quizás es algo alto pero es un disco de calidad.

Kocht deze omdat we telkens opliepen tegen te weinig schrijfruimte op de HDD Snelle schijf maar erg luidruchtig tov mijn andere HDD schijven. Een beetje irritant rommelend geluid alsof je buik het borrelen is. Maar dat zal wel te amken hebben met het type schijf.

1005FBYZ(1TB)のreviewである。 惚れ込むような優秀さがベンチマークで現れた。性能の高さは褒め言葉を連ねるよりHDTuneの測定結果を示した方が伝わるだろう。届いてすぐ初期化する前に採ったものでソフト側のブロックサイズは64kB。アロケーションユニットサイズ64kBでフォーマット（初期化もかなり早く済んだように思う）した後にも計測したが，BurstRateが約5MB/s落ちる程度でほぼ同一と見て良かった。 ボトムでも100MB/s以上出ており，旧型HDDのRAIDよりも速くSSDの必要性も後退させる。10000rpmのモデルやディスク4基のRAIDに比べればシーク音も穏やかなもの。費用対効果は高そうだ。 五ケタ価格のHDDは滅多に買わないが，こうした製品ならまた買いたい。1台でも2台でも。長持ちして欲しいものである。 【追記】 4時間も動かしていれば手で持てないほど熱くなる。故障が早まる事や暴走が心配。放熱冷却が課題だ。 【2TB版のReview】 2005FBYZも購入した。PC2台をLANで繋ぎデータを遣り取りする際HDDの遅い方がボトルネックになるため，速いHDDで揃え，映像・音声を貯め込む方に2005FBYZを充てる事で待ち時間のストレスが減った。 HDTuneとCrystalDiskMarkの計測結果を添付する。1005FBYZでもCDMの計測で200MB/sを超える場合はあったが，2005FBYZは全体的に約2MB/s速い。 上記の熱対策に関して，このHDDシリーズはしばらくアクセスが無いと自動で休憩するらしい。念のためサイズの“氷室”(SCH-1000)も用意した。 【追記２】 なお，いろいろやってみたがWindowsXP(home32bit)パソコンでは認識せず，少なくとも手許の環境下では使えなかった。 【追記３】 Windows updateのせいなのか，このHDDだけディスク使用率100%となる状態が多発した。ネット上で言われているやり方でSuperfetchとOnedriveを停止させ，仮想メモリの数値を変えても効果無し。光学ドライブにディスクを入れると決まってこの現象が始まる事に気付いたので，SATAボードを追加しマザーボードのSATA端子とは別回線を設けたところ発生しなくなった。同じマザーボードに繋いでいる他のHDDとSSDでは起きないので，オンボードRaidの使用とIntelliParkが影響し合っているのかも知れない。寿命を縮めてしまっただろうか… 【追記４】 2019年7月初旬のWindowsUpdateで相性が悪化した模様。SATAカードで隔離しても光学書き込みドライブで書き込みを実行した場合、メディアを挿入しただけでアクセス100%になったり、運用中にドライブ自体消失する症状が止まらない(読み取り専用ドライブでは起こらないのがこれまた不可解)。低速のDVD-RWなどを使用すると15分程度で"Unexpected Store Exeption"のエラーが出て停止する。結局書き込み光学ドライブはUSB変換ケーブルで外付け扱いにして抑え込んでいる。 【追記５】 冷房の無い部屋で夏場に使用する場合、猛暑日には"Kernel Data Inpage Error"のメッセージを吐いてシステムが落ちる。HD Tuneで計ってみるとHDD本体の温度は47℃を超えると危険らしい。“氷室”も効果無く、努めて温度を下げる必要がある。
