    Good record

    The hard drive is very good. I haven't yet been able to measure its performance. As for reliability, in the past I've had specialist RAID drives that lasted at least 5 years, and if I've changed a few, it's because I was running out of space, not because they'd failed. The drive is still a bit noisy when it's performing operations (it 'scratches'), hence one less star.

    As good as ever

    The main point has been made in these comments.
    I just want to clarify, approximately:
    150 MB/s writing
    250 MB/s reading

    Of course, as always, less efficient with small files.

    True to form, as always!

    The WD Red Pro 14Tb joined its little friends in the NAS without a hitch. Nickel installation, immediately recognised, it does its job perfectly as expected. Quiet, reliable, perfect for long-term storage. A sure bet for demanding NAS users!

    Very satisfied with this hard drive, as always, or almost always with WD drives.

    Very satisfied with this hard drive, as always, or almost always with Western Digital drives. Quiet, large storage capacity. No problems with installation and support with QNAP TS-464-8G. But, not enough hindsight, to assess the reliability of this drive in the long term :).

    High performance - normally reliable ;-)

    A drive designed for long-term use with a heavy workload.
    There's certainly more to it than that, but among HDDs designed for NAS and small servers, its capacity to withstand the load of annual transfer volumes puts it at the top of the range, with a 5-year warranty compared with 2 or 3 years for competitors.

    + More expensive than others, but designed to last under intensive use.

    Installed in a QNAP NAS and a small TR-004 storage bay
    No hindsight yet on reliability / theory, as 2 weeks of use at this stage
