||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got two of these and one became unreadable. Not sure of the cause, might be that these cannot be used on more than one system without doing a complete wipe.

Poor reliability
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I used the drive for less than 6 months before it got degraded. I returned the drive to WD for Warranty and have been waiting for almost 2 months to get a replacement and am extremely frustrated with no update from WD warranty even though I have called them 3 times now,

Not up to WD reliability standards
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Two of five drives were faulty. Clearly western digital/Hitachi uses their lowest quality disks for these low capacity drives.

No, I would not recommend this to a friendDo your Research...
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After I bought this, I was doing More research for a Synology 923+ and found some pretty disappointing info about the WD Company. So I can't recommend this drive as a qualified NAS Drive. I had no problems with Best Buy.

No, I would not recommend this to a friendNice drive
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far so good. Really wanted a Red Pro, but needed a replacement for a NAS unit quick and this was available. While slower than the other Pro drives I have in the NAS, hasn't affected performance significantly and does run a little cooler than the Pro's [which was expected].
I would recommend this to a friend- Pros mentioned:Reliability
GREAT SO FAR ("Only TIME will tell!")
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So Far So Good!!! Ive always been partial to WD HDs in general. The only failure I ever experienced was the one that this WD Red purchase is replacing and that PURPLE drive was recording in a security system NVS (storage recorder) 24 x 7 for SEVEN YEARS! I actually wanted a PURPLE series (designed for NVS recorders) but none were available locally and I needed to get the system back on-line, SO,...I may come back at afuture date and raise my rating from 4 to 5 stars! As they say,.."Only time will tell!"
I would recommend this to a friend - Pros mentioned:Storage capacity
