Server disk

Nothing to say, the first one is installed in my server since 1 month. I'm buying the second one for backup this month. Top Top

4 bought - 2 broken down in 1 year!

4 drives purchased for a DS418Play NAS in August 2018. First drive fails in November 2018. A second drive fails in June 2019... (lots of bad sectors). I'm waiting for the next ones to fail too... Fortunately they are guaranteed for 5 years.

        Very disappointed (for once)

        Purchase of a WD 4003 FFBX drive for a Synology 216J NAS in January 2024.
        Detection of a faulty storage group that requires the drive to be changed.
        It can happen!
        The first problem was that as I'd bought it over the Internet and not in a shop, it couldn't be taken back by the shop in Rennes where I'd been!
        In a hurry, I decided to buy a replacement in the shop.
        I was sold a WD40EFPX.
        Repairing the storage group on my NAS didn't work.
        I checked the Synology website and saw that it wasn't on the compatibility list.
        I called the shop and the person I spoke to told me it was compatible.
        I open a support ticket on the Synology website which cannot be taken into account as it is not on the compatibility list.

        No problems found

        Delivery OK, but the packaging could do with a little more protection for a hard drive. The Pro version makes more noise than its predecessor, but that's acceptable.

        Disappointed with the quality.

        Disappointed with the PRO quality, I bought 2 HDD of 4To and 1 arrived defective. An exchange was made, but after 10 months of use (in a Nas) the first HDD has defective sectors (90). Fortunately they are guaranteed for 5 years.

        Compliant product

        Product delivered with a little delay in shop but conforms to my request
        Hopefully it will perform as well over time as the other Western Digital HDDs purchased with LDLC.

        CLEAR

        The price is right, the choice of products is wide, the delivery is on time. In short, nothing to complain about.

        Certainly in promo, but unsealed disk envelope - and I/O error from implementation

        After I put the drive in my NAS enclosure, the I/O Sector errors started to rain down.
        After 6 hours of use already 26 sectors reallocated when the threshold is 5!

        Wrong number

        one of the 2 disks is defective: more than 2000 bad sectors according to the smart test performed by the NAS.

        Well advised => Well bought!

        Following the advice of LDLC and QNAP I chose the right product.
        It is the perfect match for my QNAP configuration and it is also quieter than my previous drives.
        Very satisfied!

        1 out of 2 disks out of order on start-up - did you say "Pro"?

        On the 2 disks delivered, 1 HS from the start with 8 defective sectors. Extremely disappointing for the announced quality and the associated extra cost!
        Furthermore, SMART indicates a number of ON/OFF cycles between 210 and 220, well beyond the cycles since the commissioning at my place on 9/11/2021. I should see 1 per day, that is 7. If these are quality test cycles at WD, then they are a priori ineffective...

        Perfect

        As always, fast delivery of a product that corresponds perfectly to my request.
        Used to replace a damaged NAS drive.
        Excellent product.

        Hardware OK, customer service ZERO

        I was very disappointed with the customer service and the double talk. I was very disappointed by the customer service and this double talk. I was sent a first email to ask why my parcel has not moved (payment confirmation) for 2 days.
        The first response was that shipping to overseas is more complex.
        A second email is sent after 4 days (working days), I am told that my order is divided into several packages.
        After a call to customer service, I was told that it was a Velcro tape that was being sent (inter-depot).
        5 days later (i.e. 10 days after the payment of my order), there are email exchanges telling me that it is the Google Chromecast that is being restocked!
        The order finally leaves 12 days later, and I receive everything in one package.
        I can understand that there is a delay, but that the customer service lies several times, it's shameful!

        Quality service and product

        It is very efficient and fast (delivered in less than 24 hours). We pay a few extra euros but .... we feel confident with LDLC.

        As for the product, it is a quality WD except ..... when it is defective as it happened to me in the past. It's better to buy from serious people with an impeccable return and refund service (LDLC or WD directly).

        A little effort on the minimal packaging and I will give you 10/10!

        Also defective or rather "lock".

        This hard drive is recognized as "locked" and not defective, basically the (PC) does not detect the hard drive.

        The problem is that my PC does not recognize the hard drive in the BIOS, nor in the device manager, nor in the CMD commands with "diskpart" and "list disk", however I have a little app with my Windows 10 pro called "Intel Rapid Storage Technology" which does detect my new hard drive, but it says that the hard drive status is locked.
        The problem is that there are no functions I can do like formatting the drive etc.
        I'll try to get the info to Western Digital...

        New WD RED PRO WD4003FFB 4TB hard drive is broken.

        I ordered two such hard drives to mount in a NAS. On receipt one of the two drives does not work, it is not recognised by the NAS nor by a PC BIOS, and also makes a strange whistling sound when booting up. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to buy a new one, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea to buy a new one, so I'm not sure if it's a good idea to buy a new one. Back to LDLC who send me a new hard drive in exchange. This new drive is not new either, there are traces of disassembly and it is a recertified product. However, it is functional and without defective sectors. I have bought a new disk and I have a second hand one, given the price, which is not a pleasure. On the positive side, it is guaranteed for 5 years, so we'll see what happens when we use it!

        Excellent disc, lacks a screw kit

        The drive is fast and quiet, used as a data drive in a gamer PC with an SSD as main drive.
        One regret: no screw kit delivered with the drive, given the price of the drive WD could include a small bag of 6 screws, it would avoid having to look for screws everywhere when mounting...
        Hence my score of only 9/10.

        The product met my expectations and thanks to the advice as well.
        The delivery time was respected and the package was well packed.

        Works perfectly

        I chose a Wersten Digital because they took over HGST.
        The disc does the job. It remains to be seen how long it will last ...
        The LDLC service is still excellent.

        Delivered quickly and as a gift!

        LDLC,
        It's the service plus plus.
        Not only the salesmen in shop (Paris) are at the top and know the products well, but in addition LDLC offers me 2 black toners with this purchase of a WD Red Pro disk, products that I already ordered previously. Loyalty rewarded! Thank you

        Very satisfied

        I gradually replaced the hard drives in my Synology NAS with 4TB WD Red Pro drives to increase the total volume. This was done without any problems or compatibility issues. The drives are stable and very quiet. It remains to be seen how they behave over time, but I am confident in the reliability of Western Digital drives. As far as the LDLC service is concerned, I am always satisfied with each service (speed, packaging, etc.)

        Very good product

        Always happy with WD products (regarding HDDs).
        They do the job, they last a long time.

        I'll see in a few hundred hours of use.

        In any case, nothing to say :)

        LDLC always on top!
