Works well
I brought a 1TB for my eufy homebase 3 and has been working perfectly. It records 24hrs a day and is silent in operation.

2TB NAS rated m2 SSD
Working great so far. Seems to be a genuine drive. There aren't a lot of options when it comes to NAS rated m2 SSD's, so I'm glad this is a good product.Don't forget to register your drive on the WD website for your warranty.

Versatile SSD for NAS
Had to replace a failed seagate rotational HDD in a 4 disk NAS but wanted to increase reliability after repeated disk failures. I was concerned that mixing the SSD replacement would be a problem with the RAID array. I needn’t have worried as the new drive was quickly installed, straight in to the disk carrier and quietly and quickly rebuilt the array - saving precious data in the process. It should massively improve durability of the array and remaining disks will be updated to these as they fail so the whole array will be more resilient.

Fast and reliable
It's amazing how this little device gave back life into my old laptop. Worths every penny!

Certainly seems to work, will set to 5 stars if no errors in 6 months time
As easy to install linux on to as any normal HDD would be, no weirdness encountered when doing so. I'll put the review up to 5 stars if there are no problems with it over > 6 months.

just works
put in, initialise disk using windows in built tool and that's about it. i have been hammering this hard drive for about 2 days now - backing up and restoring a bunch of very large (5GB per file) items from the cloud and external drives this is the third hard drive for my laptop in a week. the first broke after just 30 minutes of use. the second got so hot it throttled to around 12 mgbps transfer speeds but this, it just keeps reasonable temps and keeps going - uptime is over 40 hours with more or less constant use and working no problems. this is why it matters to buy a good brand for things like hard drives.

So far so good
Reasonable price, I have this drive purely running Win 10 OS and Plex. So nothing to strenuous. Very little writes and reads. But boots quick. Will be purchasing a second to hold Plex library, which will be doing tons of reads, and few writes.
