Excellent
I got this drive to use as a mass backup / storage using a bare drive adapter. It is fast and quiet. Would thoroughly recommend it.

Solid...so far
I have had Green drives running in a Drobo FS NAS for almost 5 years without any failure. I just got a Synology DS1515+ NAS so figured I'd stick with WD and try out the new fangled Reds in that. I put in 3 and so far so good: no errors, quiet, good performance.
Pros:
- Price (when on sale -NAS specific -WD name
Cons:
- -Price (when not on sale -Warranty (5 year is for the "Pro" version
- not these which have only 3 years

Four Stars
So far so wonderful. But this is a long-distance runner so we'll have to wait.

WD Hard Drives have never given me problems - if this is still working flawlessly in five years I'll edit the review to give it the extra star.

Bought 4 drives on February 2013. Installed them on Tyan Thunder n3600b (S2927). The board's raid controller (nVidia nForce Pro 3600) could only see them as 1TB drives. So, I bought an LSI Raid controller (PCIe 8x) and they worked 24/7 ever since (4x 3TB in Raid 5 = 9TB Volume unformatted).
Pros:
- - Very high storage capacity/cost value
- - Excellent customer support
- - Good reliability
- - Low power consumption
Cons:
- - Drive performance (5400 rpm

Working as expected so far
I have a Linux NAS server with 12-3Tb drives. 11 are RAID6 and one is for OS and user account space. Note that this is not a production environment. It is only a home server with very light usage. I originally bought Seagate Model ST3000DM001-1CH166. 8 of them have failed since 2013 (4 years).

Use it for your NAS
Excellent hard drive for a home media center. I have this drive with next to an HGST Ultrastar and a WD enterprise drive and the WD Red is quieter, so if you have your media center in a place where people are, then the Red drives are a great option.

Recommended drive for NAS
Bought this to replace a disc on my NAS. Like for like replacement. Hope this one lasts longer than the previous one which developed some faulty segments, but did not crash.
