Bought during an upgrade from a two bay to a four bay Synology NAS along with a WD Red Pro 6Tb and joining two 3Tb WD Red standards. It was only whilst spending a bit more time reading reviews of the regular WD Reds that I discovered they are not equipped to dampen vibrational forces in all planes, so I decided to go higher up the quality chain and gain in MTBF whilst I was doing it.The Two Larger drives run hotter than the 3Tb drives both averaging around 46'C whilst their smaller counterparts are running closer to 37'C. The larger drives are lower down and the smaller drives sit at the top of the NAS so in a way I was expecting the heat to collect at the top,

We bought two of these Western Digital WD4002FYYZ 4 TB 3.5-Inch Hard Drives, to populate a NAS system.For those people who may be unclear about a NAS, it is a network-attached storage device, which holds one or more hard disks and connects into your network, giving other devices access to the stored content. This Western Digital WD4002FYYZ 4 TB 3.5-Inch Hard Drive – Gold, is well suited to be used in NAS devise. This drive, in particular, has a storage capacity of 4TB and has a substantial 128MB Cache.The accompanying bumf states “to make sure all of this data is kept safe the GOLD HDD’s are equipped with enhanced RAFF Technology which monitors the drive and corrects both linear and rotational vibration in real time,

Can't comment on the reliability, which is frankly the reason I bought it - I only have two and they both still work perfectly - but the warranty suggests WD are prepared to back up their longevity claims. What I can say is that it seems marginally faster than the WD Red (of which I've had many, with pretty good reliability in 24/7 operation) but it is very much louder than the Red. The head seek noise is very noticeable - it's not a self calibration issue which I've had in the past with some drives, it's the noise of regular operation. It's not particularly intrusive in typical uses, but if you're in an otherwise silent place, it will draw your attention.

This drive is NOISY, however its fast and reliable, havent had any issues with it and have been running it 24/7 so far since i got it over a year ago, has decent read write speeds, faster than most drives, writes peaks up to 150MB/s when transferring files but averages 60-70MB/s under a sustained load. sequential reads average much higher 100-300MB/s sustained reads. Crystal disk mark results included.

This is a datacentre hard drive and with light use would expect at lest ten years use. I have had 8 WD 1TB Desktop SATA Green drives running as raid 6 for 8 years then they were used in other units as non raided drives. As server upgraded in 2011 to 16 2 TB drives. But only time can tell you if you made the right choice.

+ Good price (per gb)+ Reasonable performance+ Good reliability (so far)I always buy Western Digital, I've never had one of their drives fail on me (yet). So I'll quite happily keep buying them!Why go for any of the green/blue/black/red series ones when you can have a gold series. Do it.

Best hard drive on the market - but worth it if you need longevity and ultiimate reliability. This is the finest drive in the Western Digital Collection, faster than the black, more longevity than the red. Its the pinnacle of HDD technology.

Does what it says on the tin ... However, old Mac Pro users beware, these have a different screw config so the existing drive rails won't work. I had to purchase new drive rails and they're not cheap

Arrived quickly.Same reliability as RED PRO but with peace of mind support and warranty. Faster than normal WD REDs and good in NAS of 12 bays.

No stability problems so far. Too noisy for a living room NAS, compared to Reds, something that is not clear from product sheets.
