    Only choice for NAS drives at a reasonable price

    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.

    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.

    I ran out of space on my old backup, so I bought this for the purpose of using it for Time Machine backups as well as backing up my large iTunes files. It has worked flawlessly since I bought it; really does well for the job. It's also very compatible with virtually any system, though you may need to reformat it for a Mac.

    So far I have performed about 7TB of writes and used used this external drive daily doing both reading and writing. It's mostly filled up now. It has performed flawlessly and the performance seems good to me. No problems at all.

    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.
