I bought one of these drives in like-new condition from Amazon Warehouse to replace a dead Seagate Pipeline drive in a satellite receiver/DVR. It's only been running for a couple of days but I just had to reiterate what most reviews here are stating - it is amazingly quiet and very fast! The original drive made quite a racket because the DVR is always recording but this one is barely noticeable.
My only complaint is that the manufacturing date is in July of 2021 - almost 2 years ago - which cuts the warranty significantly. I looked up the warranty status on WD's support website and found that it expires in December of 2024 - only 18 months instead of 3 years as advertised.
I don't know what mfg date the new ones are shipping with but if the warranty is important to you I would look for the date before opening the anti-static bag it comes in so you can return it unopened if necessary. You can also check the warranty status using the serial number that is printed on the box.
