I have bought a few Western Digital drives over the years, and never had any problems with any of them. This time I purchased 3 of the Western Digital Blue 6TB drives. Two are working fine, just as you would expect, but the other failed within 10 minutes of installation! I guess its just the luck of the draw!
In general all my other WD drives have lasted for years, in fact I have a Western Digital My Book Live 3TB NAS that is still running after 9 years (24x7).
The failed drive has been returned and refund issued without any questions, so I'll be ordering a replacement.
