    It’s hard to review a product built for the long term after such a short time of use. To this point it has worked just as it is supposed to.

    Got two of these and one became unreadable. Not sure of the cause, might be that these cannot be used on more than one system without doing a complete wipe.

    I used the drive for less than 6 months before it got degraded. I returned the drive to WD for Warranty and have been waiting for almost 2 months to get a replacement and am extremely frustrated with no update from WD warranty even though I have called them 3 times now,

    This WD Red Plus drive was bought to replace a WD Red Plus drive that failed after about only about 2 years of use. I was disappointed with that failure.

    Two of five drives were faulty. Clearly western digital/Hitachi uses their lowest quality disks for these low capacity drives.

    Drive failed in under a year and Western Digital advance exchange took over 2 weeks to ship a replacement. I am staying away from WD because of the warranty issues.
