No issues what's so ever. Have them in a four drivE QNAS. I was a bit concerned about them being cheaper drives initially but after I got them installed I literally haven't thought about them again in terms of reliability.

0 complaints and they seem to be doing about as well as some more expensive drives might be.

Thank you, I was getting some buyer's regret because of the hast decision to buy.

I mean, I don't know your use case, but as a self-hoster/ research scientist, I think my usage is much much. And I do rely on mine for business, as my wife and I both rely on it for hosting our data, which for me is large geospatial datasets, and when I'm doing large compute runs, there are many many read writes. We also store a large amount of music/ videos for streaming and running a jelly fin server. Thats been fine as well. I think since in our case we don't have a ton of people hitting the server at once, its just never as stressed as it might be in a corporate/ multi user environment.

Thank you, I also know it's a lottery and hopefully I get a nice unit.

I'm going to use it solo as a home server to sync, store and read data. And eventually as a streaming server for jelly fin too, mostly for myself only too.
