WESTERN DIGITAL quality, but ....
An exceptional hard drive, but it's a shame that at this price WESTERN DIGITAL doesn't tick all the boxes (features) of the hard drives below this range!

slight noise
Having 6GB/s for 4 TO is perfect but for my part after barely 4 weeks of use it began to make noise quite unpleasant :( too bad for the price but still quality

Good performance, but ...
Interesting record,
Substantial storage, dynamic disk management without loss of read/write speed, can be used in server sync in multitasking without problem.
Makes some noise at times ...Review automatically translated -

High performance HDD
Received within 2 days, this HDD is very efficient and mine is without any unwanted noise even with intensive use (copying of 3 TB of data and encoding)

No consistency in reliability.
I bought 4 discs.
Two are satisfactory, relatively fast and quiet. However, one was defective. Fortunately, the after-sales service was very efficient. I'm not sure what to do with it, but I'm sure it's a good idea to have it replaced. The 4th one on the other hand is extremely noisy. It vibrates a lot and makes a helicopter noise. It seems to be working fine though. I have the impression that this range of discs is not homogeneous in its design.Review automatically translated -

Quality for peace of mind...
With a VelociRaptor still fresh as a daisy for almost 10 years, it is obvious for me to continue with this WD range. Of course there is a slight extra cost but who wants to suddenly lose 4TB of data?
Like its ancestor, it doesn't heat up much and generates much less noise than its predecessor when you try to make it "scratch" a little.
For my part, no harmful vibrations were observed even when it was heavily used.
This compares with a Hitachi 2TB "rebadged" LaCie (Quadra D2) which heats up and vibrates like a casserole and is therefore dying...Review automatically translated -

Good product
Very good performance, for a classic hard drive.
While waiting for the price of SSDs of the same size to drop, to access more speed, less power consumption and more silence without breaking the bank (in SSD). With these WD Blacks you can already rest easy for some time, for work on heavy video and audio files.
Noise (that's why I'm taking off one star), a slight humming noise that can easily be forgotten if you're not too fussy, but still some noise, even in a big silent tower (the humming noise is communicated to the chassis, while the hard disk attachments are damped by rubber seals; it's really a massive vibration of the whole hard disk to cause vibrations in a chassis despite the dampening; but it's "bearable" anyway).
I took two of them, to replace two older WDs of 2Tb each, with which I was a little cramped for performance and size; the old WDs were perfectly silent, in this enclosure.
I am overall satisfied, even if the PC is less perfectly silent, because I gained in performance and hard drive capacity for large files to work intensively.
As far as systems and software are concerned, I use SSDs "of course".Review automatically translated
