    Great buy and a solid drive. Bought several of these for my Raid enclosure and I typically move several terabytes to them daily without fail.

    I’m using these in my NAS and they fit the bill just fine. If you’re building a NAS either yourself or a prebuilt chassis I’d recommend picking up an SSD for caching as well.

    My previous 2TB WD Red was getting a bit full, so I upgraded to double the capacity. Don't have a NAS system, but this is fine of long-term bulk storage.

    This replaced the original WD HDD that was in a G-Drive external storage unit. Thankfully, this WD Red is 7200 rpm versus the slower older 5200 rpm that originally was from the OEM. Looking forward to another 5 years of use, and continuing using the original enclosure to avoid waste.

    They are great so far, used them to expand my NAS. Perform as expected. Came with mounting screws which saved me time digging through draws trying to fine the ones for my case.

    Reasonably large "CMR" HDD with competitive price

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Installed the 4TB Red Plus as a "workhorse" drive in a new system that came with a 512GB SSD & a 2TB HDD. The "5 Star" rating is based on Technology & Expectation (that is, the Expectation - or hope - that it does not die an early death!). The technology appeal was that the Red Plus uses CMR for writes, which should be faster & offer greater life than the more common (at lower prices) SMR tech. Accordingly, am using the Red Plus (primarily) to house files that are frequently re-written, reserving the "oem" SMR drive for "static" files - and keeping the SSD strictly for Windows / Applications. Best Buy had a competitive price on the Red Plus, with same day in-store pick-up, and we prefer to buy "locally" whenever feasible.

    It did what it was supposed to do, So far so good. Really not much more to say about it. Won't really know how good it is until a couple of years from now if its still running.
