    Excellent as every time on a WD red

    A big thank you to LDLC, top-notch service as usual: fast processing, package protected as it should be, thanks for the service provided. The price was competitive compared to the competition (and the rise in storage prices...).

    As for the product, no surprises, it comes as a proactive replacement for a 2015 WD in a NAS.
    Nothing to report, really happy with my purchase

    Silence, I'm filming

    After a few weeks of use, radio silence, it does its job without making any noise!
    Exactly what I wanted.
    Hope it lasts!!!

    extremely noisy.

    I purchased this drive to add to my QNAP NAS.

    It is the third 10TB drive in this enclosure.
    I can confirm that it is much, much noisier than the other two (other brands). It vibrates a lot and causes my entire NAS, shelf and wall to vibrate.

    I've tried opening the case and padding it with foam, but so far nothing has worked.

    Otherwise, it works well.

    Story time

    ?? My two QNAP hard drives: "We're going to let you down..."??
    Me: "No, my data?!"?

    LDLC: "We have replacements, available in 24 hours!"??
    Me: "Saved by the storage superhero!"

    ?? NAS: Finally breathing easy...??
    Me: ...and I can continue to store my 17,000 cat photos.??

    Moral: When your drives pull a fast one on you, LDLC plays the role of deus ex machina.
