Expand your PC's storage capacity with WD Blue hard drives, a family designed specifically for desktop and all-in-one PCs. The WD Blue familynow offersup to 6 TB of storage capacity. Combine a higher capacity hard drive with an SSD to increase the performance and storage capacity of your desktop PC. While the SSD maximizes data access speed, the WD Blue hard drive can store up to 6 TB of movies, games, files, applications, and more.
As technology becomes more advanced, more storage capacity is needed. Cameras recording ultra high definition video in 4K resolution and at 30 frames per second require massive storage capacity. With this hard drive allowing you to store up to 281.25 hours of 4K video, managing all these media files is a breeze.
WD hard drives come with free access to WD Acronis True Image. This downloadable software quickly copies all your existing data to your new hard drive, without reinstalling your operating system. With backup and restore features, back up and recover your personal data with ease.

5 identical disks on a zpool managed data backup block under bsd. The system allows 2 disks to crash without loss of data. As a matter of principle I replace all 5 disks every 4 years as they are in operation 18 hours a day!
This disk cannot be used for cloning, the sectors are 4096e and the WD of my PC has 512e sectors, so it is impossible despite the good explanations of your technical service.
I am very pleased with the service and the quality of the product. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to buy a new product.
I needed a hard drive to replace the one in an old windows pc.
It does the job perfectly
