I purchased two of these 1TB Red drives 5.5 years ago (Oct 2013). They're installed in a Synology NAS that's up almost 24/7. After 47437 hours of power-on time, one of the drives is finally showing degraded status (thresholded read error rate, sector reallocations, and long spin-up time).

Nice and quite

I needed a replacement HDD drive for NAS at work. Over the past few years I have chosen these drives as replacement HDD for servers and NAS due to the claims made by the manufacturer on reliability. The RED's are still in operation and I haven't had any issues or hardware alerts.

Just after one year disk is damaged, no clear warranty specification give, complete waist

It is a really silent. I don't notice it is work . I hope this product we work for least five years .

I have used several of the WD NAS or quot;Redquot; drives in my home PCs for several years now. They have been up 24/7 with no issue. The room they sit in is not that cool during summer so I wanted a more reliable drive. I expect to use more of these drives in the future.

I bought 4 of these 2 years ago... if they last another 2 years, I'll be very satisfied. 5 years, and I'll probably have upgraded them before then... and re-purposed for a small server or a couple mirror/stripe set on a workstation. then maybe they'll even last 10+ years. That's the ultimate test.

not one dropped out of my RAID array yet

always better than Seagate

Ran a few tests the day I got it and everything seemed fine. Went to use my pc today (8-18) and the drive wouldnt work. All tests I ran failed within the first few hundred megabytes. Fails to delete my data off the drive.

Decent write speeds; About what I expected for a 5400rpm drive

Died after only a few months

Does the job and keenly priced.

Easy To Set Up; Easy To Use

Excellent storage drive for storage photos, videos and other files in a NAS or Attached storage array.
