WL 3TB 7200RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Desktop Hard Drive (For Server, RAID, NAS, DVR, Desktop PC) w/1 Year Warranty

I purchased this product as the replacement NAS drive for my security camera system. Initially, I was a little hesitant about getting a generic brand and I wasn't sure about its quality. Yet at approx. $40, what's there to lose. So I gave it a try. I'm glad I did. It turned out to be the best purchase I've ever made. Here are the things I really like about this hard drive:1) Clear Instructions: It comes with a small 1-page instruction card. (The words are sorta in "fine" print...very small). In my opinion, everything is clearly written. I didn't have any confusions. Mind you that I am not a techie AT ALL. But I can follow instructions well.2) Easy Installation: Since I got this as a replacement for my existing NAS hard drive, I didn't have any problem figuring out where and how to place this hard drive on my system. I basically reversed the steps I took for deinstalling my original hard drive and making sure all the cables/wires were connected correctly and securely. And that's it on the hardware part.On the software side, the instruction mentioned that one needed to format the drive for the initial install. In my case, I didn't really have to because my system had already detected the new drive and all my cameras were already functioning. Either way, I still clicked on "format" drive on my system and after a short time, everything was working again just as before.3) Large Storage Space & high-speed RPM: I really like this drive offers 3TB storage space and is at 7200 RPM speed. This really helps my video feed run more smoothly. My previous drive that came with the security system only had 2TB and was at 5400 RPM.4) Hardly any noise: Compared to my previous NAS drive, this is a super quiet drive. I can hardly hear any noise, only occasionally. My previous drive was constantly buzzing, which was a nuisance.5) Solid Quality & Compatibility: I've been using this drive for over a month, everything works fine. There are no issues whatsoever. It is compatible with my security camera system.6) Great Price & Made in Thailand: After doing some research, I realized that most of the name brand hard drives are produced in Thailand. This generic brand is also produced in Thailand. This gives me a little confidence about the product source. And it only costs 1/3 or 1/2 of the price of a name brand hard drive for the same amount of storage space & speed.As you can read, I only have great things to say about this product. For a non-techie, I'm really happy this hard drive worked out for me and I wasn't stressed out during the installation process. Easy-peasy :)

Great for a refurbished drive 😎idk what else to say tbhit awesome and got a lotta storageNo failed sectors or anything read and writes good (also makes cool hard drive noises)

Excellent drive. It's fast and has worked flawlessly. I am very impressed. You can't get better storage for less. Great deal!

Like wasn't a factor. I was satisfied with my purchase.

Great value for a 3TB HDD. I have wanted to have more of my Steam Library installed but my 1TB SSD has been fairly full given the size of modern AAA titles. The read/write speed is great for an HDD and so far the games I have tested run perfectly fine. I would not advise anything that has a large amount of information to load in to play (i.e. World of Warcraft) but for older games or games that have minimal loading this is a perfect option. Even on newer titles the load times are not awful but you will notice a difference from an SSD. Only complaints I have are how loud it is and how hard it is to find a 3.5" bracket these days. Of course this is a super cheap HDD so the noise is extremely negligible once inside the case and the difficulty in finding a bracket has nothing to do with the drive itself. I am only concerned as I may need to buy a USB enclosure for it which would make noise less suppressed.If you need more hard drive space for anything that doesn't need the super speedy load times of SSD hard drives this is a great solution and I highly recommend.

The price was right, I used to backup files for 3 days, worked great.I was happy until the 4th day, turned it on and NOT working, the drive is not spinning.Kept trying in a different enclosure and NO spinning.Very disappointment.

I bought this for a home data storage server and it seems to be working. I have no issues with video playback over my network with this and it seems to be functioning with no issues. I got a pretty good deal for the capacity.
