I like how they kept switching between 2.5" & 3.5" drives in a lot of the shots.

random fun fact: The motions in this video are in perfect sync with the german song "Die Flippers - Der letzte Bolero". If you play both at same time, the song fits the video. :o)

In 5 years I changed 3 Western Digital Green and Blue 1 tb Hdds used in a surveillance system with a low recording rate and every time the electronic part it broken and besides that, the pins on the motherboard plug with plug from the turntables oxidizes. I have 3 retro PCs with Western Digital HDDs from 25, 20 and 15 years ago and they are still perfect.

I wish I can work at these high tech plants. Keep posting great videos. Thanks

I have a 2TB WD Blue drive, and it works flawlessly. Western Digital makes good quality drives.

I had a western digital black caviar hard drive from 2003 and used it all the way to 2018, that thing was a beast! Never did I have a problem with it. Contrary to other drives like seagate, maxtor, toshiba, etc. which would all die on me within months

I love WD hard drives. So reliable. Out of the ones I've had over the years, Western Digital HDs are the ones I never had issues with. Well, except for that one single time one of my drives started to SEEM to malfunction. I got worried so I rushed to buy a new one and transferred everything over to the new one. Turns out it was not even the drive's fault but just electrical problems in my house that damaged the PSU and because of it, the drive could not operate properly. I still have that hard drive I thought was defective at the time (got my electrical issues and PSU sorted out, btw) and I run all of my games on it. Years have gone by and the thing is still working flawlessly. Thankfully it was just a scare. Years of experience with WD and a couple other brands have led me to refuse anything that is not WD. I currently have two 1TB WDs and one 2TB WD in my main computer. Looking forward to upgrade at least one of them for higher capacity as soon as I can. Sadly that might not happen any time soon because of how expensive hard drives have become recently in my country. :( There are cheaper ones, yes, but they are not Western Digital. If I am to spend a lot of money, I'd rather spend on something good that I trust.

I ran a datarecovery thing for 3 years, guess which brands ended up on my table? Both WD and seagate.

It's so easy for the robots to assemble and test the drives, leaving them in perfect condition. Later, humans are barely able to do recovery - platters swap etc., it takes much longer and after "human touch" a drive is not reliable anymore.

I bought my WD hdd in 2009..still works great.

Вот он какой селф тест)) красиво как всё

I have some WD drives that are over 10 years old..and they still work, and very well.

3:26 Imagine all of those in raid 0! :D

Back in 2001-2005 i´ve used only maxtor HDD´s. After 2006 maxtor gone bankrupt so i´ve started using only WD HDD´s, in 11 years never had some issues\problems with them. Now that´s some serious quality ! Ps. i´m a system builder.

Great pick and place robot operations!

I used to consider WD as the most reliable HDD, but it seems that their design for 3.5" drives is causing a specific issue, because of a bad contact between the head signal pins (shown in min 2:08 of the video) and the PCB of the HDD, I've faced the same issue on 3 different HDDs (250 Gb, 500 Gb & 1 Tb) because of some dirty deposits on the PCB contact sufaces, leading to some disfunction of the HDD, and even the HDD rescue softwares had interpreted as "bad sector", but after cleaning the PCB contact the HDD could work again with no problems. I'm still considering WD as one of the best and trustable brands, this is why I'm giving this comment hoping that they'll fix this issue.

I only buy WD Drives, almost never had a bad experience so far :)

Trusted brand for storage.

Thanks for good information

Just beautiful ...I too had only WD...they are so good that no drive has failed me...of course...i buy only Caviar Black to be sure it will not fail on me...even now i have 3 drives(250Gb,500Gb and 1000Gb) sata 2 from 2009...Selling my 250Gb one and replace it with a newer one on sata 3(1TB black obvious)...Thank you...

its incredible here the machinery - robots which make (put together) the hard discs ??!! amazing wow really cool

O ar nesta fábrica é mais puro que numa sala cirúrgica. Fizeram um teste em hospitais aqui no Brasil e o ar externo estava mais saudável que nas salas de cirurgias. Rio RJ Brasil

Such western digital hard drive as perfect for several generations, HD and SSD as ideal for old music, photograph from baby activity, preschool kinder and grade 6 graduation. Especially record video from baby monitor, matching speaker and microphone. Old iconic games etc.?

HGST ftw, hopefully with the merger they can improve WD and HGST as a whole

The upper cover should be transparent so that the beautiful engineering works could be seen

My Brand, for sure

That is so cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When did the logic board got attached?

Excellent thanks so much 🙏👍💯💫✨💖🌹🙏👍

Can we get the high level process flow pdf / slide deck, please share the link where can i get the detailed process breakup with captions

wd disk are really most reliable compare to any other manufactures.

Western Digital is awesome

Those heads didn't use to park the way they do now. This process has obviously changed a bit over the years, heads use to park on the inner part of the platters, where the inner part of the platters were slightly concaved for head clearance at spin up and spin down.

Isn't the disk fully formatted in the factory to detect bad sectors? Should I fully format every new hdds I buy?

I really enjoyed the music, what is the name of the artist?

My dad purchased a brand new custom PC with 10GB WD HDD (August, 1998). I used that PC for 8 years, running 17 hours/day on average and without using UPS to protect the device. I stored all my notes in text files because I don't have the money to buy a new HDD with higher capacity. The drive outlasted my PC, with no bad sectors in it (I used drive checking software to verify this). I only disposed of it when I someone showed me a 2GB portable USB stick. I still prefer WD over other brands. I have no experience on WD failing drives (I own three portable HDDs... been with me more than three years now) but have plenty on the other brands we use at work which I don't want to mention here. Congrats to the engineers of the old mechanical WD drives!

I use green drives in computers and laptop and red drives for network storage. I only use WD drives.

i want that transparent hard drive!

The only disk problems I've ever had occurred with Seagate drives. Twice. I use WD exclusively.

i use 3x4TB WD Blue for my data, and use 1TB Barrcuda for system. and yeah.. WD is always good but a little extra expensive here in my country.

4:30 it's Thai language writed on top of machine very cute meaning..

Finally Hows Its Made did a segment of Harddrives. Even on my favourite brand! Hate that narrator though, The UK narrator is much better.

I was really curious about how to make a hard drive.

I can not believe they put 8+ platters in now.

Given the incredible precision engineering tolerances, it's amazing how affordable large capacity HDD's are! ... WD are my favourite brand, unlike Sh*tgate!

think its a lottery it depends on how every drive was handled from factory if someone dropped the box in transit it will hurt the drive if the transit was safe drive will be good but you never know which drive you get? get your hdd from reliable suppliers I say it might help but its a lottery more or less anyway.

very good very nice very nice HDD GOOD.........

I have 5 WD HDDs, 80, 160, 260 and 2x 500GB all them working in perfect condition, jut saying.

everytime i hear western digital, my brains like _texas_ even though its in south

I work with IT, an I heave seen many WD brand new disks with problems. They dont heave bad sectors, but they work like a week and after that, starts to guet erros and windows kant recognise them. I saw that in many diferent clients. Some of them changed the hard disk 3 times until they got a goog one. Diferent shoops, diferent companyes, diferent Windows builds.

Muito interessante

I bought a Toshiba a 1TB external HDD but it stopped suddenly after a year of usage and I lost all the valuable data which I stored on it. I wish if I used WD instead :(

I always used WD Caviar Black...5 yr warranty...they will last way beyond that.

Schedule a tour of the factory's

i'm a precision-engineer, but that is heavy work...that is precision. i think i couldnt produce some product, even if i can produce thing with a tolerance of one thousandth millimeter

You should make 8" 14 platters HDD for high capacity; I've calculated is ~10x the capacity of 3.5" 6 platters HDD

Good explanation

nice

Wow

wd great

Por que no lo hicieron tambien en español :'(

Good

Hi, my job is to film a wedding. My hard drive is scratched. Is it possible to recover my information?

So that's how porn gets made.

Digital passport was impressive at best. Got off the main lines with western digital passport.

if drives invalid not function after create MBR bootable how

Is the HGST is Western Digital?

Why my Wd hdd can't work in 2.0 USB..just working in 3.0 USB...how to fix this problem

HDD = Western Digital. This brand always makes quality products. Their HDD's amazing and always number one choice for me. Buy Western Digital and be happy man. Stay away from Seagate. Dont take it even it's free.

DAAAA FUTURE!!!!!!!

They got all of them USA working. AI

Doesn't seem like they're making anything here, just assembling pre made parts!

There are not any new information in this video.

wd iz da bezt .

i recently buy wd hdd

WD, please bring back the Raptor 10K HDD in SATA 3. It would be nice to see one SSD cached that is 2TB in size.

There are great bit ones i broke my WD Scorpio WD3200BEVT of my laptop but it was my fault

SSD!

Western Digital robots

why was this in my recommended again?

The show is Canadian. The UK narrator is an add-on package.

奇實哪，，，固態硬碟較好，，，哪旧货，，，不如送炎龙疆，，，或便宜賣，，，。

They need to add over power/surge protection fuse or even a resistor and all HD makers are as useless as each other not just picking on WD.

the lady talking is obviously a canadian

should be called watch cheap ass hard drives be made

I Found wd Format Disk 320Gb 😱😱😱

Very bad experience. I hv 1tb hard disk and now it's Not working.

I have external hdd from this company and I am really upset for losing all of my data. It stopped and I took it to data engineer. He told me it is impossible to recover your hard drive ; the platter is scratched! So sick if it

Kingston SSD and Toshiba hard drive anyone?

God these insanely waterdowned docu shows are so 2001...

I have a question. I am so confused one thing..... Everything you just stated.

I don't know if I am unlucky but 4 of the 6 western digital disks I used the last decade failed after three to four years. And I also didn't have warranty because it had expired. My advise is to avoid disks with very high capacity. They use many disk platters and disks heads, that multiply the chance of failures. Also bigger disks need more power and inevitably produce more noise and heat. Heat is the biggest enemy of hard disks. In case the disk is internal, use heat sinks for internal HDDs or external cases with fan. Disks for surveillance 24/7 or server are always more reliable, more expensive with less capacity. Avoid the typical budget ones. A nice solution is to use two cheap disks in mirrored raid mode instead of a more expensive one. Is nearly impossible for both disks to failure at the some time. Under mirrored raid the same data is written in both disks. In Mac OS X the configuration is very easy, in Windows 7 is little more complicated. Mirrored raid is slow and expensive.

Buy a spinner every now and again.
