Makes an excellent NAS when connected to a Raspberry PI4. Fast read & write (such that the 1Gb network is the limiting factor not the disk). Gets warm but not hot after 36 hrs of continuous write access (copying 10Tb of data to it). No Raspbian compatibility issues with the disks sleep/wake functionality (no errors or issues about disk not being accessible for a few seconds while it spins up). Really low power (~1.5w) when asleep meaning the disk + PI combination only draws 4w when idle - very green. Would definitely recommend this range of WD USB3 disks.

Its a good size and was nice and cheap, well cheepish lol. Does exactly what it says on the tin and is WD so that's good. Only disappointing thing, just like all drives, In my opinion, it should be 12tb formated, not loose nearly 1tb when formatted and ready to use, but that's the same on any drive.

For the price is a great external HDD, sure it's not the fastest but it's great for archival purposes. It's reliable, it's cheaper than the internal counterparts, there's no encryption by the controller, some users may like it some don't, I like it because if there's an issue with the USB controller I can open the case and salvage the data. Pros: Quiet enough, large capacity, reliable, cheaper for GB, can be put on horizontal or vertical, aesthetically a "black book". Cons: Plastic case, short USB 3.0 cable.

Huge storage for the price, speed of transfer is always the bottleneck with large files, but not bad for this drive.
