No complaints what so ever. 4 Samsung MZ-77Q2T0BW 870 QVO Solid State Drive, 2 TB in Raid.
I daily back up photos and videos using AOMEI Backupper Pro with a Basic Sync and File backup 5TB

Takes little time at all at the end of the day. Speed and price for the BLACK drive and SSDs is great.
I backup to a WD_Drive Black 6TB, 7200rpm WD6003FZBX drive, that I also got from Amazon Prime at a really good price.

All works seamlessly and easy to setup. Loosing all your photos and vids is a 8itch.

packaging on this delivery was an absolute joke , the sensative 6TB harddrive outer side was damaged and plastic section fractured.
Luckly pin connection seems ok.
The anti static bag containing the drive has also many puncture marks befor it was packaged to me.
I don't know if a return sent to someone before.
Going through formatting now , I should return though.
Now I know why it was going cheap through amazon!

After a year of use where the drive made loud buzzing noises from the get go (common occurence from the look of other reviews), the drive has suddenly failed. Currently in the process of trying to get warranty on it but unsure how.

This is a 6tb hard drive that:
-only comes with 5.5tb storage
-is loud, making clunky sounds in the PC constantly
-doesn't come with any cables - a huge inconvenience for such an expensive item

You can do better.

Hard disk costoso ma la differenza in velocità con prodotti simili si vede. I giochi anche molto ma molto pesanti si avviano piu velocemente. L hard disk arriva imballato bene. Una volta installato nel PC non risulta rumoroso. Il mio PC non lo ha riconosciuto. È possibile bastato inizializzarlo e tutto è andato a buon fine. 6 TB di velocità x gaming

This review is for the 6 TB WD Black WD6003FZBX-00K5WB0

I'm using several WD Blacks in my current system, including:

2 TB WD Black WD2003FZEX-00Z4SA0
3 TB WD Black WD3003FZEX-00Z4SA0
5 TB WD Black WD5001FZWX-00ZHUA0

and now this new 6 TB WD Black WD6003FZBX-00K5WB0

After installing the drive in my desktop PC, I initialized GPT and formatted NTFS in Win 10 Pro 1903. The binary / base 10 conversion left 5.45 TB usable, which is what I was expecting. I don't like to fill HDD's past 90 - 95 % capacity for overhead / drive optimization purposes, so I consider this roughly just over 5 TB's of usable drive. I knew this going in - no surprises there.

I was concerned pre-purchase by several consumer complaints (mostly 2017 / 2018) about excessive noise and grinding. I'm really baffled by this. For me this 6 TB is the quietest and fastest of the WD Black drives I own, with the 3 TB WD Black WD3003FZEX-00Z4SA0 being easily the loudest, and the 5 TB WD Black WD5001FZWX-00ZHUA0 being the second loudest. I can only guess that WD may have previously had a bad batch ? or they have refined the manufacture process to eliminate previous problems? I say that because this 6 TB WD Black shows a manufacture date of Dec 6 2018, so it could be a newer manufacture process. And putting it through it's paces in benches and real world tests it is not as loud as my other black drives.

In addition to the attached drive transfer speed pictures, the drive will reach burst transfer speeds in excess of 1 to 1.5 GB/s maintained for a few seconds, monitored in Win 10 Pro 1903. The average sustained transfer speed, now that the drive is 60 % full, tends to be anywhere form 155 - 170 MB/s. That's a rough average and is dependent on transfer source size, what else is being used, etc. Note the attached screenshots show benches at 0 % and 59 % full, showing some speed drop off - that's normal as the drive fills up, but it's still excellent performance for an HDD. These are not SSD speeds, but neither is this a 6TB SSD price. The price / performance here is a sweet spot for high capacity / performance uses like a video editing source content drive, or similar scenarios where this is a companion drive to an O/S and program SSD.

As the drive is less than a month old I can't comment on longevity but I'll update and report back if I find any problems. This drive has the standard 5 yr warranty offered on all WD black drives.

This drive runs a few degrees Celsius higher than my other WD Blacks but it's still well within spec. Under prolonged load it tends to run high 30's - while the others are mid 30's. This is in an airflow optimized Fractal Design R5 case with additional 140 mm Noctua fans cooling the well spaced drive stack.

I do a considerable amount of editing and this drive holds a lot of my footage. I'm using Win 10 Pro and Sony Vegas installed on a 500 GB Samsung 970 EVO NVMe. I have 20 + TB of data spread across two desktop systems and archival backup boxes. That said I'm still a hobby editor and for me it's still just not feasible to spend the thousands of dollars it would cost to switch 20 TB over to SSD's. But I am seriously considering buying two more of these because the real world performance is excellent - better than I expected actually. I wish they were cheaper, but in Canada it tends to normally run within $10 - $20 of it's closest rival, the 6 TB Pro 7200 rpm offering from the other guys at ***gate.

The system I'm testing with:
i9 9900K
64 GB DDR4
Gigabyte Z390 Master mobo
MSI GTX 1080
750 W Gold PSU
4 x 7200 rpm HDD's
1 x 5400 rpm HDD
Win 10 Pro and programs on a 500 GB Samsung 970 EVO NVMe

10 / 10 would buy this drive again.

Excelente producto, me encantó el performance, lo utilizo para jugar con máquinas virtuales y almacenamiento de datos y la vdd no le pide nada a uno de estado sólido, el ruido que hace cuando está en máximo desempeño no es muy ruidoso le puse 4 estrellitas solo porque hay más silenciosos, en general es un excelente producto.
