Solid unit, actually has a WD RED drive inside, I did some research and found this to be true. I found this unit at a really low price of $129.99, I purchased it Black Friday, limited options but I got one, my reasons for buy? Xbox ONE X gaming console, you really do need a large drive if you plan on having any kind of a collection of games to play, and with the UHD 4K updates being so huge in size, this was a must have.

Would've given 5 stars but, if shucking, you may need to modify the power supply to the HDD. If you have a White label inside, which it appears most of these are, some power supplies may need to be modded for the drive to power on. The mod isn't too bad, just remove the orange lead from the plug that powers the drive, see pic below. The good is that it isn't too hard to shuck, white label is same specs as red, was a killer price on BF and mod isn't too difficult.

For those wondering, technically it is a re-badged WD red drive inside. Model WD80EMAZ-00WJTA0. I have heard some issues for those wanting to shuck and run as NAS. Crystalmark gives me a 5400 rpm and 256mb cache. Works great as a stand alone back up. If you want to run NAS you may want to look into the model number and see if it works with your system. Otherwise its a great all around back up. I haven't had any issue with heat, vibration or noise.
