    Plug and go. Good performance. Seagate can be cheaper, but reliability not as good, based on my past experience.

    Title speaks for itself. I have both the older and newer generations (older considered red label, newer are white but also considered a great quality drive). I have had some running 24/7 for a couple of years already with no issues from any of them. The newer white labels may not work if you shuck these unless you do a connector hack. But I have had two of the newer models work just fine in external NAS enclosures without having to do anything but plug them in.
