As soon as I received it and put it at room temperature, I tested the clusters with the WD tools provided for this drive, perfect surface conditions.
I'm not sure if it's a good one or not, but I'm sure it's a good one. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use the same drive as the one I'm using now, but it's a good idea to use the same drive as the one I'm using now.
An 18Tb which gives in reality 16Tb, all the same 2Tb less.
Otherwise, the price is 30-35 Euros per TB, which is correct.
To see in time if it is reliable.
No worries for the delivery and the packing nickel, as always with LDLCBut, Hard Disk sold as so much a 18Tb..... I laugh....!!! YELLOWJust 16.36TB usable with my ReadyNAS Netgear serverWestern Digital does not care about the user
HELLO LDLC message and acceptance for participation in the draw for the game
I wouldn't go so far as to say that it saved my life! No but it was time to boost memory in my PC, because I was at the end of the race and change from W- 8.1 to W-10. Always loyal to LDLC: your customer !!!!!! Mr B. Da-prato

A reasonable and appropriate investment
I needed a HDD to back up my data. A 6t0 with 7200 rpm and 256 memory: very fast, very quiet. The perfect choice for me.

Excellent product
This 12TB drive is immediately recognised by Windows 11 and formatted in GPT. The capacity of the drive drops from 12TB to 11.178TB, i.e. almost 800GB of unused volume. I had anticipated this and ordered a 12TB instead of a 10TB. File transfer speed varies between 205 and 235 MB/s. There's no noise and it writes and reads just the same. My previous 4Tb Western Digital HDD never failed in 3 years, and is still under warranty for 2 more years, like this new 12Tb. I have trusted Western Digital for over 16 years and recommend their products.
Thanks to LDLC for the fast order and delivery in less than 36 hours!

Fast and good value for money
Heats up less than the 1st one I bought 2 years ago (48° vs 51° after several hours of transfer, hard drive on usb dock so not ventilated). Recognised by my LDLC and inovu usb docks. Good transfer rate (190Mb/sec on average with peaks at 210Mb/sec, the 1st one I bought had peaks at 195Mb/sec and an average of 180Mb/sec but it wasn't the same source drive, and my configuration isn't new any more, core i7 4790K). Good To/price ratio (I took advantage of a promotion like for the 1st, it's a shame you can't choose in-store delivery any more). Generally quite quiet, but you can hear it scratching at times even if you're not accessing the drive (it's still noisier than the 22TB version that I also own). The ultrastars are very robust, I have 5 of them, one of which is 12TB and has been running 16/24 and 7/7 for 2 years and it's fine (remember to register on the WD site to benefit from the 5 year guarantee). Delivery a little long, ordered on Monday afternoon and received on Saturday morning (but during the promotional period, it's usually quicker).

A quality disc
Surely, with its 2M hours MTBF and 5-year warranty, this is a 'durable' product. However, there are a few limitations: with 7200rpm, speed is severely hampered, and despite 256mb of cache, loading an OS on it means choosing slow execution.

Perfect for RAID
I'm quite happy with this hard drive that I recently bought for my RAID 1 storage server. My aim was to opt for a reliable, high-performance solution to ensure the long-term security of my cloud data.
First of all, I was pleasantly surprised by the noise level of the hard disk. Unlike other models I've used in the past, this one is much quieter, which is particularly appreciable given that my server is located in my living room.
But what really persuaded me to buy it was its ability to handle a 550TB load per year, which is a considerable asset. I hope to be able to keep this installation for at least ten years without too many worries, as my usage is relatively less than its capacity. Its 5-year warranty bears witness to the theoretical robustness announced by the manufacturer.
With a 256 MB cache memory and a rotational speed of 7200 rpm, this hard drive offers perfectly reasonable performance. Of course, it's not an ssd, so it's a long way from their performance, but it still maintains good transfer rates over the long term.

Fast delivery. Product conforms.
Correct packaging. It works as I expected and as per its specifications. If this drive proves reliable over time, I will continue to choose from this range.

Good flows
I received it quickly as usual, it heats up less than the 18 and 20TB versions (45° vs 52°, on a usb dock so not ventilated). I've been using my LDLC usb dock for several years now. Good speeds 155MB/sec on average with peaks at 201MB/sec. It makes a bit of noise (it scratches a bit at times) but it's still reasonable.

Thank you LDLC
After my performance problem on this hardware, I finally decided to contact the service department.
After receiving and installing the new hard drive, there is no comparison. I have to say that I am very pleased with the performance of the new hard drive.
I suspect the legendary delicacy of the deliverers.
I would like to thank the LDLC staff for their reactivity.

Do the job
The hard drive does the job, and silently. A few scratching noises the first day, then nothing. Time for all the innards to copy themselves and be in place.
Then quiet, good throughput, low access time.
Just the price is a bit prohibitive, but that's the case with all of them in these capacities... hence the 4 stars.

Noisy
I have an ultra-quiet setup (I only have 2 enclosure fans that I only hear when I turn up the power) and now I can hear this hard drive, accessing every 5 seconds, even if I don't access it myself.
So for server use, as mentioned, I don't see a problem, and noise is certainly not a criteria. I've used all the SMART tools to test it (apart from the full 32+ hour test), there are no problems to report.
I think this is the last platter hard drive I'll ever buy, large capacity SSDs are still a bit expensive, but the rapid drop in price will soon make old hard drives look like dinosaurs.

Huge disappointment
As a regular WD user with no problems, this is a good thing.
I've never heard a disc so noisy, and in terms of speed, my WD reds
s do much better.
I am very disappointed with this product and I am not ready to buy this so-called professional brand again.

Impeccable
Although my daily use cannot be described as intensive, I have started to use exclusively Western Digital HDDs from the Ultrastar and sometimes Black ranges. The quality is clearly good, these are the only ones I change as I invest in larger capacities. In comparison, my old Seagate HDDs were gone long before I thought their capacity was too low for my needs.

Opinions on Western Digital Ultrastar DC HC310 6Tb
Very good product. Very fast (both writing and reading, a reference in this field), silent, large capacity essential for today's large video files. And above all very reliable, as HDDs from this brand always are (never had a breakdown in 15 years, unlike Seagate...), guaranteed for 5 years. To acquire the eyes closed...

Excellence in every respect
Superb performance for this drive (210 MB/s write on large files). The large buffer allows me to make copies from several different sources in parallel while maintaining this throughput overall.
Extremely competitive price (37.5€ per TB).
Although I can't back it up personally yet (I've only had the drive for a month), in theory the reliability should be excellent:
- 5 year warranty.
- Announced MTBF of 2.5 million hours.
- Designed by HGST (the most reliable drives according to Backblaze reports)
The only downside: The drive is noisy when reading/writing.
This is hardly a criticism of a datacenter drive but it still prevents me from giving it a 10/10.
