    In line with expectations

    So far, so good. Everything is working properly, no errors when checking the disks. Just what I expected.

    Good on the whole, but lifespan far from WD's claims

    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.
