    So far, the WD Easystore drive is working very well on a Linux Server. I purchased 2 of these drives. In the past, I have had better luck with Western Digital than Seagate - i.e. lower failure rates.

    Does what it says on the tin. I use it to back up a backup machine, so I have a backup for my backups. The unit runs hotter than I'd like under load. It ran hot under load when I ran a 6TB backup, sure, but even under more standard loads of 100-200GB at a time, it's still pretty hot, so maybe don't go for this guyif you intend to routinely make transfers of in excess of 500GB. But if you're doing that, you should probably look into a dedicated NAS anyway.

    Mine had a white label WD inside. Great for use in a NAS! Pretty easy to shuck, plenty of youtube videos out there. If you do, the extra pin issue can also be solved with a cheap molex-sata adapter, seems to cut it out without major issue with the small tape or surgery to the drive.

    Bought for the Hard Drives

    So, I bought two of these so that I could crack them open and get the drives out of them since they have WD Red NAS drives in them, which if you buy individually are more expensive than this was (I got it on sale). Of the two, one arrived and stopped working within the first week. I contacted WD and they replaced it lickety split. I now have two working drives. I put them through the ringer to test them before opening them since that voids the warranty. I now have both drives installed in a Synology NAS and they are working great!
