Western Digital My Book external hard drive 8000 GB Black

I've been using WD My Book and this unit is way much cheaper than market price.

Easy to set up, good copy speed, works well

It is 7.2 TB not 8

very good product

This hard drive works as advertised and is fairly fast, great for my needs.

I purchased the WD MyBook in mid-2023 with high hopes for reliable storage, but unfortunately, my experience has been far from satisfactory. Less than a year into its use, the drive malfunctioned, resulting in the loss of important data that was irrecoverable. This incident left me incredibly frustrated and disappointed, especially considering this is the second WD product to fail me in such a short period. Reading through other customer reviews, it's clear that I'm not alone in facing these issues. Many others have reported similar reliability problems, often stating that the cost of repairs exceeds the price of purchasing a new drive altogether. This cost-effectiveness concern adds insult to injury, as I now find myself in a situation where I've not only lost valuable data but also need to invest in a replacement drive.

So far so good. Great capacity and speed, arrived saved internationally.

Fantastic product. WD quality

It makes noise. Including bzz bzzz from the electric socket.

Quiet reliable operation. This is my fifth WD. They work very well with Apple iMac. All sorts of files are stored. Videos and stills take up most of the space.

Reglé en RAID 1 (Miroir), je monte des vidéos professionnels via Final Cut tous les jours avec, il est bruyant certes, cela est du aux disques durs, ce ne sont pas des SSD malheureusement, mais ça fait le travail. C'est un pure bonheur de se dire que chaque donnée écrite est copié instantanément, cela rassure lorsque l'on s'en sert pour du travail.

Whenever I need an external drive, I always buy Western Digital as I've found they're always the most reliable. This 18TB drive is no exception and the price was a real bargain for the size of the drive. The drive is a little noisier than my smaller 8TB and 4TB external drives, but that's not big deal since it's only used for backups. The drive did come with a UK plug since it was sent from Amazon UK, but I simply emailed WD and asked if they could send me out an AU adapter, which they kindly did without hesitation.

Nas depolamama eklemek için aldım. Marka zaten bilindik, memnun kaldım.
