The Western Digital Gold 12 TB does very well in our test and almost makes it to the pole position in our best list. The helium-filled SATA hard drive offers excellent transfer rates. Nevertheless, every byte has its price: the drive is called Gold, and the price is similarly high.

This test report belongs to a different type: Gold (12 TB, 3.5")
