    We love the WD_Black D10 series 12TB External Gaming Drive. It makes for a great external solution for both PCs as well as past gaming consoles. I say past because the ones launching next month are going to work best with NVMe SSD solutions when it comes to taking advantage of the proper load times and frame rates.This also makes for a great general external storage solution for everything else, although there are a few more affordable 12TB-14TB solutions on sale recently if you don’t need the boost in speed this has to offer. This is the only thing that would have dropped the score on this one is how expensive it is (but only if we could have dropped it by half a star, which we cannot sadly).Is the drive a little louder than some? Yes, it can be. Is it annoying? Not really, unless you sit it too close to you are you are using it. If it is under a desk or has some distance between you and where it sits, it isn't as noticeable. If you had any experience with the type of drive that is inside, you'd fully understand this and expect it.How much faster is it? This can vary depending on the speed of the drive sending information to it with, as well as the type of files (quantity, size, etc). It varies if you are actively writing to it vs transferring a file. This is the same with any drive. However, usually everyone likes to base everything on the write speed of file transfers, and in that case, the average speed was around 230MB/s. Faster than your typical 5400rpm external drive, but not going to change your life or anything. It's just there if require the extra speed. This also depends on the drive you'd be comparing it to--old or modern, which could make the difference anywhere between 50-100MB/s faster than these other HDD options.It's nice to have a fan already inside since if you abuse your external drives with constant large transfers and monitored their temps. you'd realize many of them like to get quite a bit hot. So having a fan inside already helps prolong the life of the drive.**If you have found our review helpful, please vote it as helpful below so we know.

      I bought his WD drive to replace two failed Seagate external drives, one of which gave me several years of good service, but the other survived just a month or two past its warranty date. So far, I'm very pleased with this drive. The case is very rugged and it has an internal cooling fan with large ventilation slots along the top sides of the case. Despite the fan, though, the temperature is running a bit high (54 C). I noted other similar comments in the reviews before I bought it but those reviewers didn't consider it a problem. All the other attributes are running nominal so the higher temperature does not appear to be a problem on this one either. One thing I really like, compared to the Seagate drives, is the large LED on the front of the WD case which is easy to see. The Seagates had small dim LED lamps on the top rear of the cases which I couldn't see without getting up and leaning over my desk to look practically straight down at them. The WD case also comes with a very stable vertical stand, another plus because one of my old drives just sat on its edge and was very easily knocked over. The cable connector on the WD drive is also much better than my old drives which tended to disconnect at the drop of a hat. The WD also is a 7200 rpm drive, compared to 5400 for my old drives. There have been several complaints about this drive being noisy. I can hear it tapping very faintly once in a great while when it's handling large files, but the bulk of the time it is an extremely quiet drive. Overall, for the price, if it lasts, this seems to be an excellent choice.

      I purchased the 12 TB model. Not sure why the 8 TB model is rated for more products and the 12 TB model is only listed as being for Xbox. As other buyers indicated, it is detected by Windows (as 10.9 TB) no problem.

      I got this product to use as a backup drive to a RAID 10 array in a Win10 PC used as a media server. What struck me about this product was that for ~$300 it was very hard to find an alternative that beat its value as a 1) large capacity, 2) great performing, and 3) convenient solution. Buying a single hard drive of 12 TB capacity isn't cheaper than this drive and I would still need some sort of enclosure to stash it in. I could have spent ~$50 less on some 10-14 TB WD My Book drive thing but that would have been roughly 1/2 the write speed of this drive (240 MB/s). And, though I could have cobbled together some secondary RAID array to use as a backup with multiple, cheaper disks, it certainly is far less convenient to maintain that than having a single thing for the backup solution.

      I wish I had bought one of these when it was priced at $250!

      UPDATE:
      I bought a second one of these, this time for my main PC. Modern PC cases have moved away from supporting 5.25" media drives and 3.5" HDDs. So, to open up flexibility for my next PC build, I have been trying to find a way to pull these things out of my build and connect them via USB. I found a nice OWC enclosure a couple weeks back for 4k UHD disk ripping drive. Recently, I kept trying to find some sort of drive enclosure to house HDDs and direct attach them to my PC. After spending hours looking at Orico, OWC, QNAP, etc enclosures, comparing USB speeds v. RAID support ... I remembered this product. Honestly, I couldn't come up with an easier way to get my 3.5" disks out of my PC case, have a great amount of storage, 200+ MB/s write speed, and almost zero hassle. I have no concerns about any noise issues as I doubt it will be louder than my PC fans under load.

      Easy to use. 8TB is a great size. Decent value. Using it as storage space for a plex/ jellyfin server. Only thing is when the PC comes back from sleep mode, the drive takes longer to be recognized but it gets there eventually.

      Lo uso para respaldos de información, guardo librerías de música East West y Kontakt, corre de maravilla, copié todo de una sola intención, más de 1 millón de archivos pequeños aprox 4TB sin problema, 250 MB/s en archivos RAR, ha estado días encendido, hace un ruido extraño cada cierto tiempo pero es normal, lo corro a través de un dock Rosonway USB 3.0 Powered, conectado a un supresor de picos Koblenz.

      This is a excellent drive, after one years of use never have any issue. Its fast(7200 rpm) load Xbox one X game a lot faster than the original drive (Forza Horizon 4 take 35 sec in quality mod VS more than a minute with the Xbox drive), easy to set up, stylish, a lot of space, top quality disk drive (its a Ultrastar DC HC320), work on every platforme, 3 years warranty and even faster on PC. You can play your game directly on it and it will not overheatvor have any other issu. But it not perfect, its big, need it own plug and can be a little noisy at time (not for a quiet room, me it in my living room behind my TV so when i play i don't heard it). Don't use that fo Xbox Serie X, you will probably only able to play backward compatible game directly one it, for Xbox Series X game you can only use it has a storage solution. To play game you will need to transfert your game directly on the SSD of the console, so not a perfect solution. I presume on PS5 it a similar story. The reason it the new console are built to take advantage of the SSD and its speed, and in comparaison this disk drive is 8 or 9 time slower than those new custom SSD.

      4.0 out of 5 stars 勝手に電源OFF以外は期待通り

      ・PCデータ保存用の、7,200回転の単に速い外付けHDDとして購入しました。
      ・USB3.2Gen1のためか、2014年製のPCでも260MB/sで、旧3.0HDDの2倍以上の速さでした。

      ・温度が常時53℃以上(データ引っ越しでは最高64℃!)なので、安くても良いからファン必須です。
      ・ファンを、本体の上から下向きに置けば、45℃程度まで下がります。

      ・勝手に電源OFFは、Windows10の電源管理やUSBの設定では変更できないようです。
      ・CrystalDiskInfoを常駐にして、自動更新を10分にしておけば、OFFになりません。
      ・もともと、WD GOLDのような常時電源ON前提の設計ではないようです。
