Review Summary
2025-01-22T19:00:00
I didn't even get the hard drive. I was for some reason given a Seagate harddrive, that you could tell was used. I contacted support. They had me give all this information. Told me they would never send a competitors hard drive and said this one time they will give a refund if I returned the hard drive I received. I did just that. After 3 weeks of them having it they came back and told me they are denying the refund because I sent them the Seagate harddrive that i was given and told to send to them and not the WD Black hard drive that I never received. So I am now out over $200. Never got my hard drive and WD refused to even give a refund for it.

I ordered a hard drive and they sent me a drive that was almost 4 years old. They have sent me a replacement drive, but it was also four years old . It's been a month and I still don't have a currently manufactured drive. WD has now informed me that they cannot provide a hard drive that has been manufactured within the last few years. What a horrible experience of avoiding and not being able to get work done because WD can't provide currently manufactured Drives.

I've had this WD black 4tb for almost a year now. I've tried everything that I could to get this drive to work without taking it apart. On start up there is a persistent beeping in intervals. I am done trying to get to function at this point.

This is the hottest (temperature) hard drive I have ever used. I am a programmer for a fortune 500 company. I have dealt with thousands of hard drive, SSDs, and NVME. This is the hottest drive I ever dealt with. You cannot touch it. I have left the side off my just built own PC because I don't know if my cooling solution(s) can handle the extra calories of heat.

Ordered an 8tb hdd and was sent a 1t. After working with support they would only send me a refurbished 8tb as a replacement.

It does not work and I contacted customer support but haven't heard from them. The bios recognizes it but it doesn't budge. There's not even a peep coming from it. This is the 6TB 128 cache. D.O.A., Jim! The review is based on the model 128 cache. The 256, worked wonderfully. I wonder if I received a refurbished model, it had no WD Black serious looking sticker on the outside of the foil wrap bag, just a plain oem style, no markings. Disappointed.

Great drive. I've used WD Black HDDs for years and never had a problem with any of them. Just keep getting more as they get bigger and I'm never disappointed.

I've had this installed in my PC for only about a week, and the install process was easy. I'm using this as addational storage, so no OS install was required. The only thing I had to do was format the drive using Disk Management (under Windows Tools/Computer Management). I've never had a problem with WD bare internal drives and expect this one to be no different. So far, so good.

Unfortunately, the drive arrived to me DOA. I was unable to receive a replacement drive. The online chat as friendly as they were, did not have a solution to my issue. In the end, I opted to return the drive for a refund. I hope WD can improve on catching these bad drives before shipping.
