Excellent product.
I gave LDLC a 5 for their consistently fast service, as well as for the product replacing 1 of the 2 HDDs in my NAS that has been running (24/7) for 6 years.

3,5" 2 TB 256 MB Serial ATA 6Gb/s Hard Drive - WD20EFAX (bulk)
Overview
The secret is in the technology
Specifically designed for 1 to 8 bay NAS systems, Western Digital Red hard drives are built to run 24/7, and are aimed at home and small office environments. These 3.5" hard drives are built around 64 to 256 MB of cache on a SATA III bus. They are compatible with most major NAS servers.
Western Digital's exclusive NASware technology , built into all WD Red hard drives, enhances the storage performance of NAS systems by eliminating common compatibility, integration, upgrade, reliability, and cost of ownership issues found in traditional desktop hard drives.
Designed for NAS
NASware optimises power consumption to achieve significant energy savings and minimise hard drive operating temperatures. This improves overall drive reliability and performance and reduces the cost of ownership of your NAS system.
With intelligent error recovery commands , NASware prevents hard drives from being excluded from RAID through improved error recovery. This results in better availability and less time wasted rebuilding the RAID. With command completion and for improved reliability, in the event of a power failure NASware minimises data corruption or loss by still executing the current command before shutting down.

No reliability
4 drives delivered in December 2019, all 4 defective exchanged by LDLC after a few weeks.
Now, less than three years later, one of the four drives is failing my NAS.

Defective discs
Purchase of 4 disks for a NAS / Volume in Raid5.
The first disk stops after 48 hours of operation without wanting to restart. I receive its replacement but a second one is not recognised by the Raid... I send it to specialists who tell me that the second one has a bad read head and a third one has many bad sectors. In short, the hecatomb, data loss and 3 disks / 4 dead.

Drives ordered to replace Seagate drives in a NAS. Result: less than a month later, first error. A real disaster.
