Western Digital HDD Gold 12 TB SATA 256 MB 3.5 Inch

Relatively fast, reliable, as described and not made by Seagate! A bit noisy though - with audible clonking noises - not advised for where that might matter. Ignore the poor review on here from the guy that doesn't understand the difference between raw and formatted capacity. For reference 14TB manufacturer raw measurement = 12.73TB formatted without any file system overhead.

works well

Great hard drives

Pretty good product but remember this 12tb drive in the way manufacturers measure hard drives computers use 1024 instead of 1000 like the manufacturers so it will show up with a capacity of 10.9tb on the computer

Nothing this noisy and slow can be good. It is the youngest of my mechanical drives, and the slowest and the noisiest. I will not buy another. The Caviar Blacks were GREAT, and the BLACKS still seem ok but frankly WD have done a lot to lead to me losing faith and confidence in them over the last 18 months. I am going to try to move to SSD's & NVME's but for long term storage at a reasonable rate it has to still be mechanical drives, but NOT WD, for me anyway, any more.

IT SEEMS OK SO FARE BUT IT HAS ONLY 10.9 TB AVAILABLE SPACE OK you have to lose some space for its systems but over a TB IS MORE THAN EXCESSIVE should have marked it as an 11 TB drive

The better Enterprise Disks are now given at atmosphere of helium gas which gives a better performance in high density disks. Which means if you are going to buy a >10TB drive for long life and heave work loads (data centre) make sure its Gas Filled. If you are going to get a large drive, maybe better to have it as a RAID drive using 2 of them, like the Pros do. "HelioSeal technology (on 10TB drives and above) allows for higher capacities and less turbulence on large storage arrays. And now on its 5th generation design, HelioSeal technology is field-tested and proven to delivery high capacity, reliability, and power efficiency you can trust. "This innovative technology hermetically seals the HDD and replaces the air inside with helium, which is one-seventh the density of air. The less-dense atmosphere resets the boundaries and challenges of conventional high-capacity HDDs, allowing for dramatic increases in efficiency, reliability and value.

I've never heard a HDD which was anywhere near as noisy as this. Emits a loud hum and vibration at idle. But thats not the worst thing. The worst thing is the constant (every 5 seonds) loud click, so loud in fact, that it makes the entire PC shake! I've got hard drives that are 15 years old that don't make such a racket! Why this happens every 5 seconds was a mystery to me. And with no option supplied from WD to change the frequency, i returned this drive as potentially faulty. I've since found out (not an easy discovery) that this is a 'feature' on all current WD drives. PWL, preventative wear levelling, supposedly to lubricate the mechanism or some such. Amazon as ever were great and took it straight back.

l'Hard Disk è arrivato puntuale e ben protetto nella nuova confezione. In condizioni pari al nuovo funziona perfettamente. Veloce ed affidabile.

Platz reichlich für meine Fotos und Videos. Wunderbar leise und schnell. Qualität hat nunmal ihren Preis. Klare Empfehlung.

Amazon 59,630円 デスクトップPCのデータディスク更改用（ WD Bule 4TB 5400rpm → WD Gold 12TB 7200rpm ）に購入。 Blueでも良かったのですが大容量がなかったので… このサイズで、PMR方式（SMR：瓦書き方式でない）なのも良いです。 ◎ ディスクアクセスは、体感早くなりました。 ◎ 2013年購入のPCケースですが、3.5インチベイの穴にピッタリ一致しました。 ○ ディスクキャッシュが大きいためか、ディスクアクセスが少ない。 ？ ディスクアクセス音が大きい。起動後はあまりカリカリ言わないので気になりません。 以前は、PCのパーツでディスクが一番寿命が短かったですが、 WDのディスクは故障率が非常に低く（容量不足の方が先にくる）、 今は、どちらかというとOSの寿命の方が早いので、現時点で最大容量のディスクにしました。 ディスクコピーは、OSのディスク管理（ミラーリング）を使い、 EaseUS Partition Master Pro を使って、ダイナミック → BASIC 変換しました。 EaseUS Partition Master Free は上限8TBなので注意です。

MERHABA,ÜRÜN ÇOK GÜZEL BEKLENTİLERİMİ FAZLASI İLE KARŞILADI. AYRICA BENİM İÇİN GÜVENLİ BİR ALIŞVERİŞ OLDU.İYİ Kİ VARSIN AMAZON TÜRKİYE. TEŞEKKÜRLER.

These drives have a a brilliant specification but unfortunately none of the three drives I ordered were working on arrival. I suspect this may be due to the woefully inadequate packaging that Amazon provided!
