Shuckers dream

Reviewed in Australia on 7 March 2020

Capacity: 8TB/USB 3.0Style Name: SingleVerified Purchase

These are great for shucking (helium variant inside). The warranty from Australia is a little unclear however and the price needs to be readjusted to the sales that occur in the US. Contact WD after registering your drive to receive a free AU power adapter.
Edit: I contacted WD to query the "out of region" warranty. They informed me that the drives will still remain under warranty and that you can claim the warranty within Australia.

Quiet and well suited to HTPC duties. WD100EMAZ-00WJTA0 ‘helium’ inside.

Reviewed in Australia on 15 March 2019

Capacity: 10TB/USB 3.0Style Name: SingleVerified Purchase

Purchased 24-Feb-19. Inside I found the much desired WD100EMAZ-00WJTA0 ‘helium’ drive.
Interestingly this drive is noticeably quieter in spin-up/on/read+write states than its 8TB RED cousin (WD80EFZX). Other considerations for those thinking about purchasing one will be the US power plug and unclear warranty coverage. Aus units have a 2 year warranty, so you may find yourself leaning on Amazon’s usually very good customer support if issues.

Capacity: 8TB/USB 3.0Style Name: SingleVerified Purchase

Purchased the product from my home here in Australia (where I live) via amazon’s Australian website but only to find it arrives with an American power adapter!
I have unfortunately had to spend money on a converter to allow it to work in Australian power sockets.. this is far from ideal and likely voids any warranty etc..

I should not of assumed they cater for overseas country needs even though it was Australian domiciled website.

Exactly as described, couldn't be happier!

Reviewed in Australia on 31 July 2020

Capacity: 12TBStyle Name: SingleVerified Purchase

I got a WD120EMFZ not older WD120EMAZ for the shuckers out there that might care (reported by crystal disk info).

I haven't opened this one but the design appears identical to the 8TB units I did shuck, as I'm using it for its intended purpose, as an external USB drive. In my case hanging off my NAS to rsync backup the NAS every night.

For those also using it as intended instead of shucking, the AC adaptor was physically different to my 8TB units, but electrically the same (12v 1.5A) - it was actually friendlier for side by side use in power-boards than the ones that the 8TB ones came with, though that could be total luck of the draw of course.

High capacity storage for less

Reviewed in Australia on 30 August 2020

Capacity: 12TBStyle Name: SingleVerified Purchase

Got this for 310 dollarydoos. Almost 11 TB of storage goodness. Ran a surface test that took about 20 hours, all good.
The drive inside is a WD120EMFZ Helium sealed 5400rpm, possibly 512MB cache. According to reddit, this may be a firmware locked Ultrastar 14TB drive (no way to unlock the extra 2TB). Well, another addition to a good collection of WD drives.
Pricing of spinning drives sure is coming down gradually, maybe I'll grab another 12 or 14TB soon.

Excellent hard drive

Reviewed in Australia on 8 August 2020

Capacity: 8TB/USB 3.0Style Name: SingleVerified Purchase

it's easier to setup plug and play. no installation program. Connect to USB cable and it detects the usb hard disk straight away. It's a great unit to store information with USB 3.0, it's quite fast to transfer files and folder to the hard disk. It's advertised as 8TB, however you would get 7+TB because of the NTFS formatting. It comes with 2 years warranty but my disk still running good after a year. In comparison of the current price with other vendor, the wd hard disk price is pretty decent and slightly inexpensive. The only thing which i don't really like is it's only running on 5400rpm instead of 7200rpm. If you use this to stream videos, you're going to run into trouble. But if you're using it for backup, it's a perfect hard disk.

The drive works well, no problem but Amazon failed(?)

Reviewed in Australia on 2 February 2020

Capacity: 8TB/USB 3.0Style Name: SingleVerified Purchase

This item was bought in Australia through amazon.com.au. Behind the scenes it was shipped from US, I assume, to amazon in Australia and the delivered to me from Amazon in Australia.
After unpacking, I discovered that power supply had American power plug/interface. I had to go out to get an adapter.
I watched a video on YouTube where someone ordered the same product in UK and, when he unpacked the product, I observed that he was supplied an American interface power to UK power adapter within the box.
I am confused as to why my box did not have a power adapter???
The WD 8TB drive works well otherwise and I have absolutely no complaints with the product.

Drive failed on 6TB Elements Desktop Drive in three months. RMAed. Replacement failed in three months.

Reviewed in the United States on 9 May 2018

Capacity: 6TBStyle Name: SingleVerified Purchase

Had been using it as a backup drive. The drive failed within three months of purchase, Data inaccessible.

Edit 5/23/18 RMA process was painless, easily accomplished online. Used normal RMA process; Turnaround between old drive arriving at facility and new drive shipping out was 2 days. All told, about a week. Will see how this drive shakes out over the next few months.

Edit: 8/28/2018. The RMA Replacement for the drive has also failed, almost exactly three months after delivery.

First one I opened was Dead On Arrival. Unreliable for a small business.

Reviewed in the United States on 24 January 2019

Capacity: 10TB/USB 3.0Style Name: SingleVerified Purchase

I run a small business with a group of friends. We ordered 18 of these WD 10TB Elements External drives so we can each have additional storage to our work computers. The reason for these specific drives is because they were reviewed as easy to set up and use and have high reliability.

They arrived in 6 packages, each with 3. I opened the first package to begin testing them before taking them all to the workplace. I connected it to power, plugged in the USB drive, and pressed the power button. Nothing. Nothing happened. I don't have the best technological computer skills so I wasn't able to troubleshoot what was wrong with it nor did I want to do anything that may hurt my chances of a return.

I was told these drives were very reliable and I get one dead on arrival. This is very disappointing. I would not feel safe using these at work or giving them to my editors to store precious photos and video footage. There was nothing to indicate that the drive had been damaged during shipping. That just means that WD put a faulty drive in there and didn't do enough testing.

It appears to me that these drives are actually used. I opened the other 5 boxes and this suspicion seems to have been confirmed. All 18 packages were repackaged by Amazon and sold as new. Please view the first image I upload to see this. It is clear to me that they do not care for their customers enough if they are willing to sell re-packaged old goods as new for full price.

Luckily, Amazon has a generous return policy so I am returning all of these for a full refund. I don't even want to bother checking the other 17. I will take my business elsewhere and find a better product.

Six Teraflops of Meme Storage

Reviewed in Canada on 14 August 2019

Capacity: 6TBStyle Name: SingleVerified Purchase

I bought this because I was tired of my tiny 240GB hard drive being filled. The constant struggle of deleting my favourite video game to install the newest $80 microtransaction riddled mess, only to re-install my favourite game (Minecraft - it's 2019) has driven me mad. Until now. 6TB of storage means I can have all the newest games, as well as a slew of dank memes, without having to ever delete them. Now I can keep all the EA games I buy but never play after I realize it is just a slot machine disguised as an RPG. It's also great if you do any high-quality 3D rendering. I completed a 50GB 3D scan of some work stuff, rendered it, modeled it, and slapped it in this bad boy so I can take it back and forth from work. Always great when you can store your work with your play, it's a shame I can't store my dinner in it, too.

Atención!!! son solo 7TB (en la versión de 8 TB)

Reviewed in Mexico on 25 March 2019

Capacity: 8TB/USB 3.0Style Name: SingleVerified Purchase

Saludos, espero les sirva la siguiente información;
el disco hasta el momento ha funcionado bien, no es el más rápido pero eso se debe a que es HDD y no un SSD como el de la computadora que uso. Busqué la opción de 8TB debido a la capacidad que requiero para respaldar mi información multimedia y oh sorpresa!!! solo tiene 7TB, es normal que el sistema operativo reserve una porción del disco para proceso, pero 1 TB completo!!!! vamos, que esto es una tomada de pelo!!!. Tengo una PC gamer de alta gama y funciona perfectamente con todos los programas instalados en un SSD de 240 GB y sobra mucho espacio!!!!! ¿cómo es que una unidad de almacenamiento de 8 TB ocupa 1 TB para proceso???
Obviamente ya lo he formateado y no cambia el espacio disponible.

Tomen en cuenta esta información al comparar precios con otras marcas, esta unidad talvez parezca competitiva económicamente pero falta valorar la capacidad real del disco.
