Western Digital WUH721816ALE6L4 3.5" 16TB SATA 6Gb/s7.2K RPM 512M 0F38462 512e/4Kn HDD

Have been using this 16TB hard drive since 2021. Very happy with it. Very dependable, will buy another one soon for my new build. Western digital builds very good drives.

When looking up the the serial number, came as oem drive with no warranty, but sold as new. Was sealed in anti-static bag, however.From WD site:Serial Number Warranty Status Model Number Description Warranty Expiration Date*[serial #] NO LIMITED WARRANTY 0F38467 PCM Drive ASM OEM-AP HE18 18TB SATA 512e SE CMR P3 PWR disable not support

As others have mentioned, these drives are not from the US and when registered within the US will show "Out Of Region."I contacted WD support, and got this message - "Please to inform you that I have checked with my team and they informed that the warranty of the drive is validated as per the proof of purchase. So I would request you to keep the proof of purchase safe with you. Also you can ignore the out of region part as we are the one who will assist you if you need to claim warranty replacement for the drive."He reassured me that the warranty will be honored for the expected 5 year window, although the status "Out Of Region" will remain.That being said, these things are LOUD. Most of the time they’re reasonably quiet, but several times per hour they’ll unleash floor rattling clicking for several seconds at a time that I can hear through a wall.One of six drives experienced 3 CRC errors in the first day, it’s been about a month and nothing since but I will keep an eye on them.

If you want a data center class drive that will last forever and a day WD/UltraStar/HGST is the way go to. I literally dropped this several times swapping it between bays and it spun up afterward like "wut?" Only thing I would suggest to a prospective buyer is GET HDD LLF and do a full drive surface low level format before anything. It's just a safety measure to make sure any bad clusters are marked out (though I've never gotten a bad cluster on an HGST). Then when you format it use make sure to use something more advanced than windows built in format. You want the drive to be GPT and you want to format it as NTFS with maximum cluster size (64kB) this will reduce seek latency because max cluster size reduces MFT reference/seek time. And again, you want to do this is as a deep format, not a quick format; the LLF and deep format on the 16TB took me about 16.5 Hours for each operation; the drive does maintain a steady state sequential read and write speed of 256MB/s. (and in case you're like "where's my full 16TB?" when they say it's 16TeraBYTES they literally mean 16 trillion bytes, which works out to 14.55 proper TB [this is completely normal: 16,000,000,000,000 Bytes /1024 /1024 /1024 /1024 = 14.55TB]

First - the drive itself is a good drive - Backblaze Drive Stats rates the DC HC series highly, and they are solid high-capacity CMR drives. They make a little noise, but it's not unpleasant, and I've gotten used to it. I put them in Synology NASes, and they work well there.The last set of 2 I ordered were fulfilled by Amazon and shipped out in their little shipping boxes loose in a plastic bag like you get a t-shirt in, and they had obviously been through some stuff. One was DOA, I returned both because I had no faith that the other one would last. The replacements came the same way, but at least stacked so they didn't bang around on each other.The last two sets here I've ordered are either out of region or OEM no warranty. The warranty thing is an interesting call - if the drive is bad enough to require a warranty replacement, what are the chances I'd be able to wipe it before exchange, and would I exchange an unwiped drive? For $300 I might not risk it, so a warranty on a bad drive turns out not to be much of a warranty in practice anyway.So great drives, but purchasing this way has compromises, and go in with your eyes open...

This drive is one of the most reliable disc drives out that.That being said, the drives being shipped today are highly unlikely to be new or have a warranty.The drive I purchased was sold by Maestro Technologies.Per the serial number, what arrived was an OEM drive without any warranty from Western Digital. The date on the drive was 2021. The disc utility check showed 18000+ hours of power on time or a bit more than 2 years of operating time.I kept the drive because of you really can't get one of these that isn't used anymore. However, be aware that what you are highly likely to get is a used drive. If that isn't for you, you should get a different drive.

Needed a large cap HD. Western Digital has always been 1 out of 2 picks (Love Seagate too). Some state their drive "clicks" or makes noise (which some do). This 18TB HD runs very quiet and has write speeds steady at 160 MBPS (up to 200MBPS on an Intel 11th Gen system). Since large SSD Drives are way too far expensive, a hard drive is way I can afford. Very Happy with this Purchase.

Do not buy this product, it was not a new hard drive, it was a hard drive that had been used for 2+ years. Ordered 7, tested 3 before I started the return.

No es lo que esperaba. empaque muy simple y sin mucha Protección, no estoy conforme con mi producto y fueron 4 discos duros que compre, me siento triste porque creí que había, No es lo que esperaba. me hacen mucho ruido!! Los quise dejar en pruebas antes de poner mi comentario. creí que había comprado una marca de calidad y no es así. El empaque venia muy simple y sin nada de protección. me siento decepcionado 🥲. totalmente triste

OK!

Satıcı DFS Bilgisayar uygun fiyata yolladı ve faturasını hemen sağladı. Garanti sürecini de WD Globale kaydettirerek 5 yıla kolaylıkla çıkarttım. Bunun dışında HDD çok gürültülü ve 4K çevrimini yapmakta zorluk çektim, beceremedim. Ama çok da dert etmeyip kullanmaya başladım. Bir sorunu yok 5 yıl da garantisi var. Güzel alışveriş.

Die Platten an sich sind super für den Nas Speicher im Keller. Ich benutze schon seit Jahren HGST und, nach Übernahme durch WD, die Ultrastar Serie und hab noch keine Probleme gehabt.Leider kamen diesmal die Falschen HDDs und das auch noch extrem schlechtverpackt. Verkauf und Versand durch Amazon.Trotz der schlechten Verpackung, es war nichtmal Packpapier im Karton, hat eine HDD welche ich getestet habe einen kurzen Selbsttest sowie Performance Test einwandfrei bestanden. Beeindruckend.Fazit die HDDs sind zu empfehlen, bei Amazon selbst kaufe ich keine HDDs mehr, war leider kein Einzelfall!
