Product Name: | WD Red Pro WD161KFGX 16TB 7200 RPM 512MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive - OEM |
Product Description: | Pros: Trusted BrandTrusted ReliabilityPerformance see overall review.WarrantyRelatively quiet Cons: Expensive Overall Review: I purchased this HDD in March 2021 along with an WD Ultrastar 18TB. In my Raid boxes a Drobo and Synoloy I have started making a point of trying to by different brand / models HDD's as I add storage just in case a defect in one line will not destroy my entire storage array. I have found the Pro series to be slightly noisier than the Plus / original regular RED's and a bit quieter than the Ultrastars. Heat is kind of similar based one feeling the front of the HDD while is mounted in its RAID enclosure. The first thing I did after this hard drive arrived was check CrystalDiskInfo to check the drives specs and make sure it was all good. It had a power on count of 1 (since I powered it on) and everything else was perfect and new. Hard drive Speed Compare: All testing was done with an external enclosure using CrystalDiskMark and a direct file copy (about 4GB) to the disk from an internal SSD.WD Red Pro 18TB: Seq Read 267 MB/s, Seq Write 266 MB/s, Copy 260 MB/sWD Ultrastar HC550 18TB: Seq Read 269 MB/s, Seq Write 268 MB/s, Copy 274 MB/sWD Red Plus 10TB WD101EFAX: Seq Read 218 MB/s, Seq Write 219 MB/s, Copy 80 MB/sWD Ultrastar HC510 10TB: Seq Read: 259 MB/s, Seq Write 263 MB/s, Copy 250 MB/sWD Red 10TB WD100EFRX: Seq Read: 200 MB/s, Seq Write 116 MB/s, Copy 186 MB/sSpeed comparison for reference.

I'm a truck driver so don't receive my mail. When my mom got the package, it was basically a bare drive in a static bag on the front porch.
Sent it back without issue. They sent a new drive. The new one I just installed came in an appropriate sized box, with rigid highly compressed air bags that were basicly a life jacket around the drive.
These weren't the air bags they send in an Amazon box, but obviously more specialized for fragile items. I wouldn't be surprised if they were specifically for hard drives.
The packaging was an a plus.
I also used to work in an Amazon facility and packed lots of boxes so I pay attention to how things are packed when I receive them and before that ran my own eBay business way back in the early 2000s.
This is was packed at least as well as I would have packed it going from private seller to private buyer.
So basically, it's a crap shoot lol. I'm not sure if it was a ether pack job because of the rma or I just got someone lazy the first time around.
