![]() ![]() In my case I have a SSD for my primary drive but due to size and price limitations a secondary drive such as this one is ideal for storing all my junk ). This is not really a con if you get this drive for the right purpose. Even WD on its website does not recommend raiding these drives. It also runs cool and saves you money on your electric bill but it is not intended for use as a primary drive or as a raided drive. This drive from what I have gathered is intended to function as a secondary drive for storage/backup of large movies, music libraries, data etc and for that it is awesome. One being is that the logic board does not have any resistors, chips or other protruding components that can easily break during handling and electrical connections are sealed off with this pinkish plastic/rubbery coating (Newegg needs to update their photos of the drive).Ĭons: This is probably the hardest section to comment on when you are pleased with the product. I have also noticed that the bottom of the hard drive where the logic board is located has many new safety design features implemented. ![]() It was a real treat to log into my Newegg account and retrieve all the necessary info very quickly. In my case the drives were out of warranty but WD does update the warranty to the time of sale if you provide proof of purchase. WD warrants their drives based on the production date that is printed on the front of the drive. I have owned 4 WD drives in the past, 2 of which died near the end of their warranty. ![]() I like the fact that this is a WD drive because I have not owned this drive for long enough to praise it on it's reliability but the fact that it was made by a company who has been in the business of manufacturing hard drives for years with a great record is somewhat of a comfort to me. I think it is well priced considering its capacity and features. It is whisper quite and runs very cool to the touch. ![]() Pros: This drive has a very low energy consumption compared to others that I have used. ![]()
