The better Enterprise Disks are now given at atmosphere of helium gas which gives a better performance in high density disks. Which means if you are going to buy a >10TB drive for long life and heave work loads (data centre) make sure its Gas Filled. If you are going to get a large drive, maybe better to have it as a RAID drive using 2 of them, like the Pros do."HelioSeal technology (on 10TB drives and above) allows for higher capacities and less turbulence on large storage arrays. And now on its 5th generation design, HelioSeal technology is field-tested and proven to delivery high capacity, reliability, and power efficiency you can trust."This innovative technology hermetically seals the HDD and replaces the air inside with helium,

If you're not a business customer and you're just an average consumer looking for bulk storage like me, just get the black instead of the gold if you're choosing between the two (unless you want RAID or NAS).

Whilst the latter is true, the mechanical clunking sounds it naturally makes are higher pitched, giving the impression that it is actually louder. The random read/write speeds of the black are also better and more beneficial to the average consumer.

Having had three of ANOther manufacturer's HDDs grinding themselves to destruction, I thought I would try something a bit more robust and this does not disappoint. the thought of a system and 20-years of work going down the pan scares me silly (yes, I do all the backups, NAS RAID)..You might get your files back if the main HDD goes down, but setting up a new OS with the grief that entails, means that a few extra quid spent on a more rugged HDD might pay off.System image and bootable media will help and a regular diagnostic test like WD DataLife Guard helps.As many have said before, with HDDs, it's not if they fail, but when

Relatively fast, reliable, as described and not made by Seagate!A bit noisy though - with audible clonking noises - not advised for where that might matter.Ignore the poor review on here from the guy that doesn't understand the difference between raw and formatted capacity. For reference 14TB manufacturer raw measurement = 12.73TB formatted without any file system overhead.
