The two sata drives were successfully installed on our server, but I have yet to test them.

I have always preferred WD drive but this "Re" drive is making me re-think the Seagate drives. After fighting the drive to get it formatted to the full 4Tb (finally cloned a low data 4Tb drive that was functional win my Win 10 systems) did I find a single instruction sheet telling me to go GPT. (I'll take the blame for this one my self.

If you just need a cheap 4TB drive, then sure, take your chances. If you prefer the 3-year WD manufacturer warranty, you might want to purchase from another vendor!

I'm PC enthusiast and an avid gamer. One of the reasons that led me to this drive is that my OCZ Vertex 4 512GB SSD is not enough to hold all of my games--especially my Steam games. I needed something better and reliable. For my set up, I have the main Steam app and games installed on this WD RE 4TB drive. I use SteamMover app (Google it) to move the games I play the most on the OCZ Vertex 4 SSD. If I don't play it much anymore, I can just move it back to the WD RE drive and transfer another one in. Works great for me. This app retains all file associations and locations even after moving the games using SteamMover. Other use for this drive is I have stored some of my encrypted volumes here that has my banking records, resume, and other sensitive files that I cannot ... MoreI'm PC enthusiast and an avid gamer.

So far I'm very satisfied with the performance of this drive and hopefully it last long as the WD RE history suggest it would.

I checked the NEW filter when searching for HDD and this one was in the search. I ordered it and when it showed up was not new but refurbished and would not initialize. Packing material stated refurbished and shipped through goHardDrive. I already purchased and returned a drive through goHardDrive due to it be used. It had over 44,000 hours of use, which is 5 years!
I purchased four of these drives in November of 2016. I didn't use them right away. Some time in 2017 I finally configured them all in a RAID 6 volume. I had my first failure three weeks ago. Thus I didn't even get 3.5 years out of them before my first failure. I rebuilt the drive and it failed again after 1 week of operation. After going through this process 3 weeks in a row I finally swapped it out with a spare and will be RMAing the defective drive.
I have 16 drives in a Norco 4220 4x 3TB Baraccuda XT (Triggers heat warnings at 115F, avg temp under full load is 109) 4x 3TB WD Red (Never had a heat warning, avg temp under full load is about 95) 4x 4TB Datacenter (these drives) (Triggers heat warnings at 105F, got to 115 and my system shut itself down) 4x 10TB Ironwolf (Never had a heat warning, under full load it gets to about 102) I took some drives out so I had on Column of one of each drive on the far left, next Column completely empty, then I had a Datacenter in Row 1, and Ironwolf in Row 3, then the last Column was empty. In the first Column, Idle the Ironwolf if 96F, the Datacenter drive is 105 In the third Column, Idle the Ironwold is 92F, and the Datacenter drive is 93F Idle, he WD Red is 84/89 ... MoreI have 16 drives in a Norco 4220 4x 3TB Baraccuda XT (Triggers heat warnings at 115F, avg temp under full load is 109) 4x 3TB WD Red (Never had a heat warning, avg temp under full load is about 95) 4x 4TB Datacenter (these drives) (Triggers heat warnings at 105F, got to 115 and my system shut itself down) 4x 10TB Ironwolf (Never had a heat warning, under full load it gets to about 102) I took some drives out so I had on Column of one of each drive on the far left, next Column completely empty, then I had a Datacenter in Row 1, and Ironwolf in Row 3, then the last Column was empty.

The Barracuda is a 7200RPM drive, so I expect it to get warmer than the others. I am very surprised, and disappointed a the heat tolerance and susceptibility of these drives. I would expect a lot more from a "Datacenter" / "Enterprise" drive that would be stacked and on 24/7. I should have gotten more of those Ironwolfs instead of wasting my money.
RE line has been replaced by gold line. Inventory might be either new dead stock, old stock, or refurbished at this point. Check serial for manufacturer warranty after purchasing and do EXTENDED smart testing before use. Return if you have failures.
Been ordering the RE models for years. Slowly moved from 500 gig to 1000 to 2000 and now 5x 4000 gig drives for my 'puter setups. I've yet to have a failure. Literally have some 500 and 1000's sitting aside as too small, but still good 5 years later. With NewEgg's now improved packaging, I don't even sweat possible shipping handling problems.
Not sure if I would recommend at the moment. This was the first bad WD drive in about 15 purchases, but the first "Datacenter" high RPM drive purchase - only one of the two got off the ground in this product class. Not very settling.
