WD 12TB Elements (Ordered April 2020)Like most, I was purchasing these for the drives inside, rather than for use as an external unit, typically proving to be the cheaper way of buying larger drives when they're on offer. The WD Red I use is the WD100EFAX model which are 10TB, helium filled, 5400 rpm drives and come with a 3 year warranty. Update 23 Apr 2021: These drives have now been running for 6 months. These are all basically Western Digital Ultrastar HC530 drives, slowed down to 5400RPM and hence absolutely comparable to WD Red 14TB drives.

I bought this item back in Oct. but doesn't, consequently it wears through in no time, obviously a design fault. I think it's a bit of a lottery what you might get from shucking drive enclosures but sizes 10TB and upwards are likely to be the newer, Helium filled drives and are potentially rebadged WD Red drives. My only gripe is that it runs roughly three degrees hotter than my other WD drives, including the last 12gb (an EMAZ drive), but nothing major.

Both 14TB drives still seem fine with currently no indications of any issues. My previous network back up drive set started to fail me. However when you crack it open, that’s when this drive really comes alive.

The drawbacks are the plasticy-appearance. Disclaimer: Shucking the drive will most likely void your warranty so just be aware of that if you are considering doing it! So i have bought the 10TB model 9. While the drive is running, holding the button for 5 seconds will shut the drive down.

Intention is to eventually replace one of the 4TBs from each machine. It churns away on its own, it has a constant ‘duh-du’ sound about every 5 seconds with the odd ‘duh-du-du’. 0Excellently priced for 8TB of storage.
