This hard is fast and quite.

I got these to populate a ReadyNAS Duo, network attached storage. I inserted a drive and rebuilt the RAID, then repeated to rebuild the mirror side. No loss of data all.

No issues

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

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.

Great lil hard drive. Does exactly what it says on the tin. Not the fastest hard drive out there, but great for the price. If you want speed,get a ssd. Very simple to set up and install os
