I have only used my 18TB drive (WD181KRYZ-01CMFB0) for a few months now. I am happy with its performance to date in my FreeBSD system. It is quieter than a few of my other WDC gold drives.
I have been a satisfied user WDC's gold drives for 20+ years now. I currently have several WDC gold drives in my systems, varying in size from 1TB to 18TB. They seem to last approx. 15 yrs for me.
I would recommend this to a friend!
