Bought 4 of these drives for a NAS I put in at home, these drives are top quality. Drives worked perfectly, fit the trays well and seated in just fine. Drives are relatively quiet for HDDs and are even more so in an enclosure. Speed, data transfer, formatting, all work great. Great value and quality construction, I have and will continue to recommend this product.

First one sent was defective (the first in about last 30 I bought). Not a problem, defects occur. What was great is that amazon got a replacement to me in only two days! Outstanding service amazon!

I've had this hard drive for a little over 6 months and its never worked. I personally believe that this is absolutely ridiculous with how expensive this particular hard drive is When I first got it I spent weeks trying to figure it out in my off time. It was weird why my NAS wouldn't event recognize this hard drive when it could recognize all the other hard drives/ram I put in it Later when I did have some free time I bought another product to connect this HD with a computer . I thought I needed to possibly reformat/change settings on this hard drive on a PC connection then it might finally play nice in the server To my surprise this expensive HDD didn't even show up on my computer at all and made the most unuusual/aggressive sounds that I don't even hear owning 3 other HDD. When I tried with 2 other computers it was the same deal. The HD wouldn't even be recognized even when it was powered up So that's when I knew that I didn't have a formatting problem that led to some HD not even working/ being recognized. This was straight up dead on delivery Then I also just read that some "new" HDD from brands like Seagate are being sold with decade old components, found many people who bought new HDD from Amazon but were actually used! etc. (If you are even thinking about buying a HD from Amazon please read this tech radar article and be warned)

After reading other reviews I confess I was a little concerned, but I purchased two and they both work perfectly on my Synology 920+. The Seagate IronWolf are a bit noisy; I don't know if there are quieter NAS HDDs.
