Review snippets: Normally, these WD Enterprise drives are very good drives. I have several that I uses for backup because they're fast, but more importantly, made to extreme high reliability standards. HOWEVER, beware of this particular seller! When I opened it, I / I've just installed a bunch of these in my new FreeNAS box. So far they work great, but for drives like this it's waaaaay to early to say whether they live up to their specs. There are much cheaper versions
