Western Digital 4TB WD Purple Surveillance Internal Hard Drive HDD - SATA 6 Gb/s, 256 MB Cache, 3.5 - WD42PURZ

Mira que me he llevado toda la vida con WD Blue y Green, pero este mes he tenido que devolver un WD Red y ahora este WD Purple por exactamente lo mismo. Te lo envían en una especie de bolsa hermética y protegido por plástico de burbujas (solo 1 vuelta) y en un sobre normal. Ni en una misera caja de cartón, por lo que en el transcurso del viaje va a recibir cientos de miles de golpes. Pero lo peor no es eso, lo peor es que cuando me llega (a traves de la empresa UPS, que lo dejó en un estanco y no en mi casa) veo que el envoltorio tiene la marca de una bota, como cuando pisas un folio en el suelo y se quedan las huellas. Lo abro, meto en mi pc, doy formato rápido y todo parece estar en orden. Apago pc, enciendo y el pc se queda en un bucle infinito que no termina de arrancar. Desenchufo ese disco duro y voila, todo vuelve a funcionar bien. Lo siento por WD pero ya no me fio más.

42 days after purchase the drive is failing. It makes a buzzing sound every few minutes. The SMART info says its Normal but the value rates are all in the mid 250s which does indicate theres a problem. It just hasnt failed yet. Im concerned but will let it go until it actually fails.

I recently purchased a WD Black and it arrived in a thick cardboard box with inner support foam pieces. Works like a charm. The second I laid eyes on this package, I knew it was game over. Like come on, a bubble wrap envelope? GG. Decided to throw it onto a dock and attempt a format. Just hangs and makes the click of death. Buyer beware. Poorly packaged hard drive inevitably breaks during shipping. Such a waste.

Works in my harbor freight 4K NVR surveillance system.

Lasted less than 3 months in a NVR. Reformatting did not help. It constantly returns an error status. As SSDs have come down in price since then (and work perfectly fine in my other NVR), this is probably the last hard drive I will ever buy. SSDs are still more expensive, but that is a trade off I am willing to make. I have had many failed hard drives (usually after a year or more, though), but not a single SSD failure that I can think of. The hard drive was also noisy with constant thumping noises when it was originally working. Noticeable and annoying in a quiet office. It was warm to the touch even when the only thing it was doing was sending a error status back. The SSDs are much nicer to live with.

Esse HD veio com defeito. Estou dondo 3 estrelas pelo atendimento e reembolso do valor que paguei

Precio y calidad

Works as it should. In service for several months now with no issues

Its working 24/7 for 3 4k cameras. No problems observed

Broke after 15 days. Drive doesnt get detected in Windows or Linux. I get ntfs_pread failed: Input/output error in Linux and Disk1Unitialized Disk in windows. Return period was only 10 days and couldnt even return. Had to claim WD warranty for replacement
