    Dead on Arrival

    DOA. The drive would not even power up. I have purchased many of these 6TB Red Plus drives and this is the first that would not even power up. Have had several power up with dreaded clicking noise. I'm not sure what is worse. The manufacture date of this drive was 10 March 2026. I'm sure ground FedEx from Georgia to San Francisco in a half empty box didn't help. Of course with the current drive shortage BestBuy couldn't replace but I got a prompt refund. Unfortunately replacing the drive will cost more than what this one cost. Darn data centers! 3 out of 5 stars for good product but bad luck...

    Good Deal and Quick Shipping

    I ordered a pair of these for a home NAS right before the prices started skyrocketing. They were delivered quickly in a well packaged box and are performing great so far.
