Review: Works great - I must say that I love the packaging this HDD came in that's very securely protected from damage. This drive is new as it was never used that is evident by the packaging. However, it is not recently manufactured though because the manufactured date shows 2015 on the label. Nevertheless, it is still new as it has not been used before. In using it, on the other hand, at first I didn't know or understood loading it in Linux that HDDs over 2TB is not supported in Linux where partitioning is concerned. I am using Linux Mint 19 Cinnamon and it apparently doesn't seem to have support for using drives greater in storage size than 2TB so no GPT partition style support except MBR partition style. So when I saw that the drive was somehow automatically divided into 4 preset partitions that could not be removed, resized or addition ones able to be created I thought that something was wrong with the drive itself. But when I decided to see what would happen when using it in Windows Disk Management Console a prompt came up asking what partition style that I would like to initialize the disk with either MBR or GPT. Not too familiar with the difference or benefits of one vs the other I decided to do a little research on the difference and benefits of using MBR vs GPT partition styles. As it turns out once you are using HDDs with a storage capacity greater than 2TB you must use GPT partition style to initialize the drive and great your partitions. MBR only supports less than 2TB and up to 4 partitions on the drive so that is why when I connected the drive in Linux and it showed only 4 preset partitions and prevented me from editing, deleting or creating additional partitions then I understood what was the problem. It wasn't the drive that was the problem but Linux OS doesn't support GPT except MBR. Whether or not this can be mitigated to switch to GPT to initialize a HDD with storage capacity greater than 2TB is not necessary for me right now. However, once I used Windows to setup the drive with GPT partition style I was able to create the partitions I wanted with no problems and everything now works great now.
Review: Great replacement drive - These are a smaller drive that are not in great demand anymore due to there size of 2TB. I am using 12 of these in a Synology rack station and this was a replacement drive. These drives are no louder than any other drives, Western Digital makes a great hard drive now that is reliable, and they stand by their warranty.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: does it support official 5 years warranty?**
A: I have purchased many Western Digital drives from Amazon over the years.  Until my most recent order, all were eligible for Western Digital's 5 year warranty.  When I attempted to register the last drives I purchased, the Western Digital website indicated that the "Products were not eligible for Registration".  This generally means that the drives are being sold outside of the region where it was originally shipped.    I am returning these drives to Amazon.The warranty is really important because WD will replace any drive that fails within the warranty period.  I've had it happen & WD handles it quickly and painlessly.   In my opinion, enterprise drives without a manufacturer's warranty should not be put into service.8/29/2013 Update:  Amazon shipped my order for multiple drives from different fulfillment centers (presumably they didn't have sufficient quantity on hand from their primary shipping location).  The drives that came from Lexington were not eligible for warranty.  Those that arrived a day later from North Las Vegas were able to be registered for warranty coverage.    The labeling on the WDC boxes was slightly different, so I conclude that the Lexington drives were `gray market'.   I hope this is a onetime aberration, but for the foreseeable future, I'll by my enterprise drives elsewhere.

**Q: is re same as red**
A: No.  RE drives are similar in performance to Black series drives, but have short error retry intervals better suited to RAID use.  Compared to Red drives, they are noisier and faster, and run hotter.

**Q: Does this drive comes with WD 5-years RAID edition warranty??**
A: You can go to Western Digital's web site, enter a drive's serial number, and it will tell you whether it has a WD warranty or not. The 3 drives I just received came back as OEM, which means that WD provides no warranty; it's up to the seller to provide warranty service. UPDATE: I contacted my seller TEK SOLUTIONS, and they replied (on a Saturday no less!) that they offer their own in-house 5 year warranty on these drives, which is great! I recommend checking with your chosen seller before buying for clarification on the warranty details.

**Q: What is the difference between RE, RE2, RE3, RE4. I am not talking about the drive size. I have an RE3 2 TB and want to buy the same drive.**
A: Robert is correct; those refer to the drive generations.  The RE3 generation was current about 4 years ago; when I bought one in Spring 2012 it was the RE4 generation.  You can still buy new RE4 drives on Amazon, but you may as well buy the current generation (just RE).  Take a look at the Western Digital website for current drive versions.  In the 2TB size, the current RE drives include WD2000FYYZ, WD2003FYYS, and WD2001FYYG. The newer ones are a lot faster than the RE3.Yes, you should expect a full 5 year warranty with a new WD RE or Black drive.  Unfortunately, some resellers are providing refurbs or are pulling drives out of enclosures and selling them as new bare drives.  Avoid this scam by 1) avoiding third party resellers; and 2) always checking your drives against the warranty checker on WD's website.

### ⭐ Failed hard at 2yr 10mo
*by S***E on December 3, 2014*

Update Feb 2016 - I received a new RMA replacement drive from WD today. I plan to use it to store downloaded video and other junk - I would not trust it with anything important. Update Jan 2016 - this drive has had a sudden and total failure - it no longer undetectable by any PC. The drive reported no SMART errors and provided no other indication of a pending failure. I was better off with the Green drives, at least they gave an indication of failure and I was able to copy the data to another drive. With this drive my data is gone, gone, gone, never to be seen again. WD lists it as still under warranty so with any luck I'll get it replaced with a similar low quality piece of hardware. -- original review -- I purchased 2 WD Green drives thinking they'd be great for my network-attached photo collection which needs to be available but has relatively infrequent read/write activity. Within 2 years both began reporting SMART errors. So 20 months ago I replaced both with these WD RE drives - one 1TB and one 2TB. So far there has not been one issue and now I plan to purchase two more of these drives. It is difficult or impossible to get a true measurement of hard drive reliability. The URE rate is a useful, although non-holistic representation of drive reliability. WD rates their Green and Black drives the same at 10^14, yet Amazon.com review comments suggest Green drives are less reliable than Black. Amazon reviews are some of the best data we have, given due scrutiny. Since WD indicates the reliability of the Black drive is just as bad as that of the Green (WD would have phrased this differently), I decided to steer away from the consumer line all together. This WD RE drive has a URE rate at 10^16, two orders of magnitude better than the Black. At first glance these numbers seem too large to be meaningful, but analysis can be found online using real-world models to illustrate the significant difference of even going up one level of magnitude in URE.
