    Product is exactly as described. I’ve only had it for < month so I can’t vouch for longevity (why I gave it three stars for quality).

    I am working to operate the automation system in a warehouse where automation equipment has been completed. I purchased the hard drive to be used as a backup server in the automation system and it is working very well. There is no noise either.

    I purchased 2 of these in October 2024. For the last week or so, I noticed that the one in Bay 1 is now showing a solid red light instead of the usual solid blue light. I'm not really sure what the issue is but until I can take it to Geek Squad at Best Buy, I'm purchasing a replacement.

    Purchased to replace an existing 2T RAID 1 array, in which one of the drives is starting to show errors (after more than 86,000 hours in operation). I have had very good luck with WD Red drives in this server application.
