Reliable
With files getting larger and the amount of files needed to be stored I needed something very reliable. This 16 Tb should hold me for a while.

Reliable & Fast.
The My Book storage solution has always been a good investment for me. I've been using WD My Book for a long time, and have not had any problems with any of them.

Reliable HDD - get's the job done 'by the Book'
Bought a second WD 16TB My Book for my new Mac mini 2024 computer. The first one's still running on my iMac 2017. Easy to use, setup, and run diagnostics

Stick to retailers
Great when I get one that is not dead in a day. And your warranty and returns group "needs work" to say the least. I love your products, just not through you.

Good value but LOUD
It is incredibly loud and vibrates my desk making me think my phone is ringing. Other reviews have stated the same but it still concerns me that it sounds like it's dying right out of the box.

Hello,
We're sorry to hear about your user experience with the WD My Book Desktop Hard Drive and appreciate your time for providing this review.
Current drive technology dictates that some noise will occur during normal drive operation. The type and volume of noise is dependent on whether the drive is performing a read/write operation or idle with the heads parked. The environment where the drive is functioning may also influence noise. For example, loose drive mounts, fan noise from case ventilation or power supply, and where the enclosure is placed or mounted may produce or enhance the noise heard. It is important to recognize which noises indicate trouble or normal drive operation.
Please refer to the mentioned link for more information:

If the issue is persisting then we would request you to open a support ticket. Please refer to the link mentioned: https://support-en.wd.com/app/ask/session/

No indicator light
Very good hardware and software. My only complaint is that there is no indicator light that shows the unit on and functioning.
