I bought 12 of these back in 2012 for my first RAID-based NAS. Had 7 of them fail with bad sectors within 6 months, usually one every 4-ish weeks. All warranty replacement drives came with 6-month warranties, so I lost out on the remaining 2+ years of the original warranties.
In 2013 I upgraded to 4TB WD Reds and never had a single problem for nearly 6 years until I upgraded to larger drives.
