Capacité impressionnante : Les 16To de ce disque dur Western Digital Gold répondent parfaitement à mes besoins de stockage intensifs, permettant de stocker une vaste quantité de données sans souci. Vitesse remarquable : La vitesse de transfert et les temps de chargement réduits accélèrent considérablement mes workflows et améliorent l'efficacité de mes tâches quotidiennes. Fiabilité : Après plusieurs mois d'utilisation, le disque dur a montré une fiabilité et une durabilité exceptionnelles, sans aucun signe de défaillance ou de perte de données. Bruit minimal : Le fonctionnement est étonnamment silencieux pour un disque de cette capacité, ce qui est un gros plus pour mon environnement de travail. Rapport qualité-prix : Bien que l'investissement initial soit élevé, la qualité et la performance de ce disque dur justifient pleinement le prix.

Bought this drive (16TB) at a sale (~350 SGD) directly from Amazon SG. It came securely packed (WD Box) and it runs great. It's a bit more quiet than my Toshiba MG drives but also runs a bit hotter (still only around 40 degrees C). Warranty check shows the warranty is valid until middle of 2027 (so the drive was produced in 2022 + 5 years) for Singapore. The warranty check says drive is "Out Of Region" but as I could find this doesn't affect the warranty. Would buy it definitely again.

Venditore affidabile (Amazon) il disco è risultato nuovo e privo di difetti. Inserito in una docking station esterna per effettuare il backup dei dati, è risultato un po' rumoroso, in quanto la docking station non era in grado di assorbire completamente le vibrazioni del disco. Una volta inserito nel case del PC, avvitandolo saldamente alla gabbia dell'hard disk, è risultato molto silenzioso, in quanto la solidità del case ed il bloccaggio con le viti, sono state in grado di bloccare le vibrazioni del disco, durante il suo avviamento e funzionamento. In sintesi il disco è risultato veloce e molto silenzioso.

nicht für die Installation im Schlafzimmer geeignet, das Geräusch bei vielen Zugriffen erinnert an klassische Serverräume und Datacenter. und dahin gehören diese Platten auch.
