Arrived well before anticipated date. Have not removed the drives from their boxes yet to do any sort of analysis. I would like to see them packaged better in the future, given the way some mail carriers handle our packages.
Bought on Cyber Monday sale on WD website. Only after purchase was informed Drive was on Back Order. If I had known drive was Back Ordered, then I wouldn't have purchased. Now 3 weeks later, told drive isn't available and will get a refund. Missed Cyber Monday deals due to WD's dishonesty. Congratulations WD, you just lost a lifelong WD customer and fan.

WD's internal databases need to talk to each other better. I cannot review a drive that has not been shipped to me yet.

1/4 didn't work. HGST has better QC. Bought 4x16TB drives, 3 of them booted up, one didn't. Then when I went to RMA it, they said it was out of warranty. What a joke. So after waiting 3 weeks for them to ship the drives, they're out of warranty and making me wait longer to get a replacement while they figure out their side of the house.
Nice.
