Review: WD242KRYZ work perfectly in my Dell Precision T7920 and my Oyen Digital Mobius 5-Bay RAID Enclosures - The WD 24TB WD Gold Enterprise Class SATA HDD Internal Hard Drive HDD - WD242KRYZ were as described and work perfectly in my Dell Precision T7920 and my Oyen Digital Mobius 5-Bay RAID Enclosures (which is why I bought them originally).
Review: Great for a NAS and an offline backup!! - I was using the HGST version but after Western Digital bought them out, the WD version has slowly come in under the HGST price if you catch them on sale. Its the exact same drive just different branding. WORD OF WARNING! these are data center drives and as such have the 3.3v issue preventing the drive from starting up until you block pin 3 (google it). my first of these newer drives, I was not aware of that and went back and forth with a different HGST vendor for awhile before finding the solution online. Two, I bought power extenders and cut the wire for, making a permanent change and one drive for an external bay I taped pin 3 as I was not about to permanently alter the drive bay. My MUCH older 10GB HGST version of these drives have been working 24 hours a day for 7 years now with not so much as a hiccup I can blame on the drive. I have other WD drives that are decades old and never had a failure (so far).

### ⭐ Died just after a month
*by A***N on December 6, 2025*

I’ve had issues with WD drives in the past and stopped using them for almost 20 years. This one was on sale and I figured after 20 years they might have gotten a bit better. And being a supposedly enterprise grade drive I should be ok. Just after a month (and outside of the Amazon return window), the drive is completely dead. Tried multiple external enclosures, one can’t even tell there’s a drive installed, the other let’s windows see there’s an un-initialized drive which it can’t initialize. There’s no sound from the drive at all when powered on or when Windows tries to connect to it. It’s dead silent and there was a smell of burnt electronics on the drive after only 4 power on/off cycles over the course of a month. It was off most of that time. I thought the smell came from a bad enclosure but it seems to work fine and buying a new second enclosure didn’t fix anything. Because I had the drive shipped outside the US, WD won’t honor their warranty. First WD product I’ve bought in 20 years and the last one I’ll ever buy. I should have stuck with the somewhat more expensive but well worth it Seagate Exos drives.
