Best product in this size range
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Solid construction. Especially around the USB connector.....Have broken several of the USB connectors off of one the OTHER VENDORS drives in this range making the drive useless as it would cost more to repair than to break apart and salvage the drive. THIS DRIVE IS WELL BUILT and performs very well. (Have purchased several.)

Great Storage device
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this to replace an older Seagate drive that crashed. It works great. It does get a little warm when using and does seem to make a little noise but not as loud as some stated. Fast back up for a large amount of storage, and seems to be working fine for me. Have used for 1 month so far.

Only choice for NAS drives at a reasonable price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I shuck these to use in my NAS. They have white labels but perform like Reds. I've heard there are Thai and Vietnamese drives, the former with 256MB cache and the latter with 128MB, but out of the four I ordered all of mine were made in Thailand. They absolutely scream in a NAS, and at this price, and with the reliability of WD Reds, I can afford to void the warranty.

Worth the bucks
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was going to return it because the speed was really slow transferring files, but the computer I was transferring from was the culprit and once I was able to transfer to a faster computer it worked fine

Great drive to shuck
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Most of these drives are actually WD Red drives which are excellent drives. From what I've found you can tell if it's a red drive by the AC adapter I"m assuming this is because of the factory they come out of. if the plug is sideways then it is a red if it is regular it is not.
