Packaging a little better to protect HHDs
the very basic packaging: the disc in a sheet of cardboard, some crumpled paper underneath, in a small cardboard box. I remembered more protective packaging for HDDS.

Just excellent
Bought a few months ago on LDLC for 589€9. Now it's 799€96!
That was before the price increase.
The capacity is just huge. And the transfer rates are great.
Used in a Synology DS216+ NAS.
You can hear a few clicks at startup, and that's normal (tray test).
After that, the noise remains relatively contained (but not for a 100% silent configuration).
A must have!Review automatically translated -

Excellence and space
Hello,
Ordered on Monday, received on Wednesday. Thank you LDLC.
I already own a 10TB Gold (full) and chose the same range as my PC is on 24/7.
I lightened its little brother and during the transfer which lasted 6 hours, I was able to transfer about 5Tb, with an average of 250Mb/s with peaks at 267/269!
It more than lives up to its promise, given that the source was a mechanical HDD. Even from an SSD, the transfers also plateaued at around 270MB/s. My PC (Asustek P9X79 & 3930K) is almost 10 years old with SATA controllers that struggle a bit.
It looks quieter than the 10TB version.
I hope this Gold Hard Drive will last longer than the 2 WD Blacks I had that gave up the ghost after 6 years, a few months apart :(Review automatically translated -

Does the job quietly and coolly
Excellent drive with a read/write speed of 250 MB which is excellent for a mechanical drive.
During the 10 Gb copy, remains very quiet, even inaudible, and never exceeded 32°c, excellent.
The only audible scratching at start up is normal given the number of platters and heads to be tested.
Excellent product and excellent service from LDLC delivered 24 hours.
