Lasted less than 6 months
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My drive worked initially, got it to format and then it just stopped responding. Was going to run in an Unraid storage server but after barely any use it just died. Can’t initialize, can’t format it, pops up with a device IO error even in other test PCs. Western Digital did honor the warranty, and then charged me $5 for return shipping. So I paid full price for a new hard drive only to end up with a refurbished replacement drive and the hassle/cost of mailing and waiting for a replacement. Buy a better brand

No, I would not recommend this to a friend Planned obsolescence
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Do not buy WD drives for NAS use. Ever. Google "WD NAS 3 yr warning" for more information. Depending on the NAS, after 3 years, you will not be able to perform certain functions with this drive because it will enter a warning state, even if the drive is perfectly fine. Some NAS units will ignore the warning state. Don't buy red drives from WD, and if you do, do not pair them with a Synology NAS.

||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I plugged this into my synology nas and it did nothing. Perhaps I just got a bad one, but I didn't want to try with this brand again, so I returned it and bought a seagate instead.

Replacement Hard Drive
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best Buy did a great job. Available quickly. Easy install into my Western Digital My Cloud EX2 NAS unit. The system recovered quickly and easily. I believe that WD should have covered this quickly for free, but they were exceptionally unhelpful. Their products seem pretty good but their service stinks.
