    This is a large drive I'm using to store DVR recordings from two different OTA devices and another for online content. I haven't had a single hiccup like I have had with smaller drives just running one of the three servers. I've only had it about two months, but cost and storage is enough to recommend it. I am just going on faith that it will prove to be reliable as well.

    Good sized footprint and very functional. Time will tell as far as 'quality' goes, but thus far it functions as intended. Plenty of storage for my purposes, to include backup and photos.

    Was running out of backup space in prior storage. This fills the bill nicely, and sets up automatically if you like. Good price too at Best Buy.

    The unit I received contained a WD80EDAZ-11TA3A0 drive (white-label air-filled drive) according to `hdparm -I`. It works, but runs very hot. Don't put it in a place without good airflow.

    Plenty of storage for keeping track of my RAW photos. I am going to have to move it further away from my workstation as it does have a very quiet and subtle ticking when it's idle. Tends to grab my attention when the rest of the room is quiet.
