Hello.
4 disks bought in December 2023 for my NAS
Disk 1 out of order after 3 months
Disk 2 out of order after 13 months.
I strongly advise you not to buy these disks, except as furniture wedges or paperweights.
Order arrived quickly, well packaged, no problems with the equipment, trouble-free installation, in short, perfect!
1 years after purchase, it worked well, it was responsive, I had even put my system partition and my games and from one day to the next windows no longer starts but the other partitions are accessible but slow and (copy paste).
In short, I'm pretty disappointed.
I liked the capacity of the drive, its compatibility with the Synology server and the ease of installation.
I am very satisfied with the product ordered and received quickly as every time I order from LDLC, I highly recommend this site.
The 4 disks were installed on our backup server to increase storage capacity.
It's an excellent brand.
Reliable hard drive, my last one did over 6 years before the first sector failed.
Fast delivery and well packaged.
I've never been disappointed by the pro NAS RED range from western digital, just the opposite of one of its direct competitors that I won't name, can handle 10,000 hours of operation per year without any problem;
However I have one of the 2 disks which was defective and which passed under guarantee
So far, so good. Everything is working properly, no errors when checking the disks. Just what I expected.
They perform their function perfectly in the RAID5 of my TS-435XEU NAS [https://www.ldlc.com/fiche/PB00494267.html], but it only took 9 months for the 1st of the 4 disks to give up the ghost.
As a reminder, "Rated for 180TB/year workload and up to 1 million MTBF hours": a broken promise.
I'm giving the 3 survivors 3 stars.
