This should go without saying, but be sure to pop them in a PC and run WDIDLE3 on them before they go in a NAS

Great for storage, not as a primary drive. Heat from me

Probably the reliability (8.79% 2015) - second worse only to Seagate on hardware failure analysis.

Mainly because noobs buy them for primary usage. They're not meant for that.

I'm assuming you're referring to the backblaze stats there?... For starters they are using Western Digital Red drives in massive enclosures, when they should only be used in enclosures with up to 8 bays max...
It's a ridiculous source for stats IMO. They're using consumer drives for datacentre use and are somehow surprised that they keep failing... People really need to stop wheeling out these "failure rates" every time a hard drive deal gets posted.

Thanks OP, more storage for the backup NAS, ordered. Run the WD Red in the 'always on one', but these greens run 24/7 fine too
