      OMG is it bad. We used a couple WD drives for a surveillance camera array and they didn’t last a year. Two drives failed 9 months apart. Ended up going on Blackblaze and picking what looked best for our XFS Raid 10 having learned that lesson the hard way.

      Yeah our company learned the hard way when they bought out G-DRIVE. Got a line failure on 4x 20TB drives.

      Switched back to LaCie and Glyph.
