    Good mass support

    Used for backup: does the job well, throughput seems OK but I didn't try to test it.
    Clearly noisier than a WD Red, with too much idle and scratching noise for a silent tower, so I only use it occasionally in an external case.
    As for reliability, we'll see over time.
    There's nothing wrong with LDLC's service, it's really good.

    CLEAR

    I have had it for 2 weeks. It works well, nothing to report.
    It seems to be slightly noisier when scratching than my previous 10TB Seagate.
    Note that the LDLC packaging is impeccable. This is very important for hard drives. This doesn't seem to be the case for another very large online competitor, where this drive may be slightly cheaper but the reviews say it's sitting right in a big box.

    Maxi HHD WD 12TB

    Great analog hard drive...Analog is not dead.
    Splendid disk on which I will be able to make crazy backups because the need was urgent.
    I'm going to collect a lot of files on a HHD WD which I'm faithful to because in 15 years I've never had any problems even with the crazy Velociraptor
    Thanks to LDLC

    No problem

    Fast processing and shipping from LDLC. Installed in a PC, no problems with installation and operation. It is used for backup of all files. Fast disk (large cache).
