no problems for 2 years
It's been running almost 24 hours a day without a hitch for the last 2 years.
Rather quiet.
100 characters is a lot to tell the life story of a hard drive though,

3,5" 4 TB 256 MB Serial ATA 6Gb/s Hard Drive - WD40EFAX (bulk)
Overview
Western Digital
The secret is in the technology
Specifically designed for 1 to 8 bay NAS systems, Western Digital Red hard drives are built to run 24/7, and are aimed at home and small office environments. These 3.5" hard drives are built around 64 to 256 MB of cache on a SATA III bus. They are compatible with most major NAS servers.
Western Digital's exclusive NASware technology , built into all WD Red hard drives, enhances the storage performance of NAS systems by eliminating common compatibility, integration, upgrade, reliability, and cost of ownership issues found in traditional desktop hard drives.
Designed for NAS
NASware optimizes power consumption to achieve significant energy savings and minimize hard drive operating temperatures. This improves overall drive reliability and performance and reduces the cost of ownership of your NAS system.
With intelligent error recovery commands , NASware prevents hard drives from being excluded from RAID through improved error recovery. This results in better availability and less time wasted rebuilding the RAID. With command completion for improved reliability, in the event of a power failure NASware minimises data corruption or loss by still executing the current command before shutting down.

Good product
The product works, it does its job. Despite the price having risen again.
But received my parcel damaged torn, no anti-shock device in the box. I hope that in time the hard drive will hold.Review automatically translated -

Incompatible - not reimbursed
I tried to install this HDD on my Synology NAS. I have been using it for a while now and it is not compatible with the new drive. I was unable to get a refund in the shop despite going through the website to order it and contacting customer service.
I have to say that I'm not sure how long it will take to get my money back, but I'm not sure how long it will take to get my money back. In short, a nice scam for about 120 €. Customer service and return conditions are deplorable. I will never buy from this shop again.Review automatically translated
