    Item is as advertised. I have ordered this item before and it seems to last. The power cord does seem a little "cheaper" but I am not worried about it.

    Shucked it for my DIY NAS and determined it's a WD180EDGZ-11B2DA0. Great value - but beware of the lingering hardcoded software if installing on Linux NAS.

    the Webpage gave the suggestion of a case for the HD. this needs a bigger case than what was listed. Had to return the case and purchase one online.

    Bought it for Xbox series X external storage, but turns out Xbox only supports up to 13 gb. Now using it for my desktop pc, but like other reviewers said, it makes an annoying clunking sound every 5 seconds. Do not buy unless you're in a loud environment where you won't be able to hear the drive clunking. Otherwise it'll drive you insane.

    Use it mostly to store multimedia files and other backup files from my computer. Not the fastest drive in the world, but does the job. Good product.

    Bought 3 of these to use in my synology nas at some future date. All three passed the extended SMART test i performed. One is currently used as a backup to my nas and its working well.

    Works great. I use it in conjunction with a mini-pc as a NAS. I imagine some customers might appreciate a longer USB cord.
