Bought this as a replacment boot drive for my company's fileserver. I've always been a big fan of Western Digital and this drive did not disappoint. The trickiest part was cloning the drive from an SSD. It took two tries to get the clone right, but now it's chugging along and I expect not to have to replace this drive for years to come.

Good quality drive. I have 5 of them and currently using 4 on my home lab. Dependable name. I have tried a lot of brands and I always come back to WD. I look to having at least 3 more of them to add to my zfs pool. Now if I could only find these in stock. Seems like they go fast and I barely make it in time for their last one out of my 3 regular BestBuys near me. I hope they stock these well in the future. The price tends to be a little high for spinning rust. I bought my last one on sale.

I just got this recently so I can't speak to durability but it seems to be working great so far as a replacement/uprgade in my NAS. In store pick-up was convenient as I was running other errands and nice not to have to pay for shipping or worry about porch pirates. Price was competitive with the other common options.

I use WD Red Plus drives for a server that I use to run multiple items including back up storage and streaming my own videos. I currently have 4 of these drives and they continue to work. I have had to complete a warranty on a different drive direct to WD and the process was easy but just took a while for shipping and returns.

My office has a 10 year old qnap raid array with 8 drives in a raid10... The wd reds have performed admirably - only 3 drives in the array in that time have needed replacement. My only wish is that the boss would let me buy a full set of new drives at the biggest size... That or just go full NVME raid lol

I threw this in my media server and have had ZERO issues!
It runs quietly even when I’m streaming from it on multiple sources, and 4TB, in my opinion, is the perfect sweet spot for price/GB and time it would take to copy the data to a replacement of one failed.

This is my 3rd or 4th red drive. They all seem to be good quality and I haven't had any issues yet.i think most name brand hdds these days are pretty good and it's just bad luck at this point if one fails in the first year in normal conditions.

Installed easy and works as expected. I’ve been using these for years. I tend to get about 8 trouble free years out of one of these in RAID1. Then they temd to fail. But then you pull the bad one out and drop a new ine in and keep on going.
