    Works perfectly in my 6 drive Netgear NAS. Used it to replace a drive that died. The NAS now contains mixed Seagate and WD drives.

    So far so good, bought 5 (4 + 1 spare). Plug and play for my NAS RAID5, no issues. let's see how long it will last for the 'extra dollars' than the green drives.

    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.
