Die Festplatte funktioniert einwandfrei. Leise ist sie auch (zumindest leiser als die WD Green, die als zweite Festplatte im gleichen NAS verbaut ist.).

Ich habe mir eine dieser HDDs als zusätzlichen Datenspeicher für mein neues Desktopsystem gekauft.
Die HDD ist sehr leise und wird nicht sonderlich warm. Qualität und Preis sind super.

Leise und schnell. Gute Festplatte.

We all have that moment when the 1TB HDD is just not big enough and/or having an old HDD is not the best choice for preserving data. Well time has come for a new pc and a new HDD with it.

After many online reviews and countless late night and early morning hours of researching what would fit the best to my needs, or come close, I chose the WD Red 3TB.
The main criteria was silence and reliability. Seeing so many positive impressions, as well as some negative ones with DOA I simply went for it and hoped for the best.

The disk arrived wrapped in the bubble wrap so there is no retail packaging. I hope it was handled properly before. So far it's good, no errors, no smart warnings, it works. Good.

Speed wise it's okay, performs nicely for a storage disk, no breaking records, but a very noticeable upgrade from my 7 year old Samsung F3 1TB.

So the last thing - noise. I'm a silent freak and hate noises so bad. I also found so many people are apparently deaf or having very loud pc-s because with so many products they say: "the most silent disk or gpu or fan..." "can't be heard at all!" "nothing!".... well in this case YES, it can be clearly heard when it's whooshing/whizzing in idle like all HDDs do. Regardless of the 5900rpm and Intellipower the noise is there, a bit less then my old drive but still very audible.

Yes I know, all mechanical disks make noise but the way this one was praised like being the most silent thing ever, nope it's NOT! In fact this hdd is the loudest thing in my pc, tops out in noise cpu fan, gpu fan, psu fan and intake fan all together like 10 times. It's mounted with rubber mounts and fixed firmly to the case.
When it's doing random searches yes it makes that other horrible noise too, not as bad as some other drives but certainly audible. I'm ok with that as it's only temporary.
Also to combat that wooshing noise I set in Windows to shut that thing down after 15 mins of being idle and oh boy am I happy when it's off. Then there is real silence! Since I don't use storage that often being turned on and off a few times a day is fine. I'll probably get a new one way sooner that any components can get even close to wearing out.

To conclude I'm not saying the disk is bad or louder then others, it's not, don't get me wrong, I'm simply saying it's not the super silent snowflake like everyone is trying to make it be and there was my disappointment. Hence the 4 stars. In other areas the HDD performs nicely and it's good.

So if you're building a really silent pc (and I mean silent silent) go for the SSD and external storage, encase the hdd or get a noise blocking case because if your pc case has vent holes you will hear it!
