    I've had it for about a month and is working perfectly. Placed in a Synology NAS. Very easy set up, ability to update drive firmware and good drive monitoring.

    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 WD RED drives for a home built NAS. Both work flawlessly and are pretty quiet for large physical spinning disks.
