This is not your average Western Digital desktop hard drive. The WD Reds are made for heavy duty, high duty cycle use. They are made for use in Network Attached Storage devices. The NAS environment can really torture a hard drive. Especially when it has to support a lot of users and devices. This hard drive is made to be able to function in such an environment. I have a Terramaster NAS in my home network. That system has two Seagate Ironwolf hard drives. It has been flawless in operation. I attached an external hard drive enclosure to the Terramaster to have a backup of all the data. The hard drive enclosure does not come with its own hard drive. You get to choose, depending on your needs. I bought this WD Red hard drive to use as the backup for the Terramaster. I backup the data from the NAS on this hard drive and then store the drive in a safe location. The WD Red has been flawless. It is easily the equivalent of the Seagate Ironwolf. The operation is silent and reliable. I have not had any issues with these NAS hard drives. Yes you can use a regular desktop hard drive for this purpose. A WD Blue caviar hard drive will also work. However, the WD Red is a more robust hard drive. It is more expensive than a regular desktop hard drive. But the reliability and peace of mind are worth it. NAS hard drives will also work on your desktop computer. You can swap out your WD Blue hard drive for this one. You will get added durability and dependability. But it will only be worth the extra cost if your computer is regularly stressed. A one-user desktop PC that gets used for 5 hours per day is not under stress. However, if you have a PC that is used for security monitoring purposes or as a home server, then yes, invest in a more robust hard drive. I love solid state hard drives for their performance and lighter weight when used on a laptop. However, for storage purposes, I still prefer a mechanical hard drive. If I were building my own desktop PC, yes, I would use a NAS hard drive such as the WD Red. But I would not throw out a working WD Blue that comes with a new PC. Evaluate your needs carefully. A data storage system used in a business setting should have robust hard drives. If you are a content creator on Youtube, get at least a four bay NAS storage device and fill those drive bays with WD Reds or Seagate Ironwolves. If you surf the internet, shop online, and basically only consume social media, then a regular PC with a traditional desktop hard drive will be good enough. Highly recommended for NAS Storage systems and heavy-duty desktop use.

I considered throwing away my six year old Roamio, model 846500, when it failed. The Tivo wouldn't get past the "Welcome" screen. I fixed the failure in less than an hour with only this WD20EFAX drive, and now have four times the storage as a bonus. The internet knowledge base (and the Weaknees company that's probably the best third party support company for Tivo) says that this failure mode is almost always caused by a failed hard drive. They also recommend this particular model replacement drive. Replacing the drive in Tivo Roamio is extremely easy. It's easy both both physically and because this Tivo will automatically format a new drive (as long as the drive size is 3TB or less) and automatically load all the required Tivo software during boot up. You will, unfortunately, lose any recordings and such drive-kept data as channel lists, scheduled recordings and One-Passes, and so on that were on the old failed drive. There are plenty of decent videos on the internet to show how to do this, but here is a quick procedure to give you an idea of how easy it is: Remove two torx head screws in the back of the unit and use a thin blade such as a common dinner knife to carefully pry up the top of the box. Remove three torx screws that attach the drive's adapter rails to the box and disconnect the drive's data/power cable by pulling the connector away from the drive. Remove the drive mounting rails from each side of the drive, noting their original position, by removing the two torx screws connecting each rail to the drive. Using the new drive, put everything back together. Reconnect the Tivo to your TV system, plugging in the power cable last. Plug in the Tivo's power and let the system boot up. Be patient because it will take some time for the Tivo to automatically format the drive and load all the software needed. Follow the screen guide to set up the Tivo as for a new unit. Your current account with Tivo and any monthly or All-In programming are still in place because the account is based on the box'es ID number which is stored on Tivo's motherboard rather than its hard drive. Voila...You just saved yourself the cost of a new Tivo and upgraded your video storage capacity, as I did!

Backups are not recommended as they may not be fully stored, it may even corrupt files, this is especially noticeable with windows operating system. Using with NTFS is a serious bug, very slow read/write and may damage some files. However, for use with UNIX, LINUX, and their file systems, that's fine; works fine to install your OS. Warning: Don't even think of using it for NAS!

I didn't realize it was an SMR drive when I bought it, but it turns out to not make any real difference when paired with an SSD in an iMac fusion drive. Writes go to the SSD first, then some time later the less frequently used data gets migrated to the hard drive in the background, usually in large chunks. Small file writes are where SMR performance suffers. Maybe the initial restore of my data took a little longer. I think it was about 12 hours for 1TB of data, copied from a USB2 external drive, so not unreasonable and the USB2 was probably the limiting factor. Day to day performance since then has been just as quick as before. As it was not an Apple OEM replacement hard drive, I used a 2n3904 npn transistor as a temperature sensor to stop the fans from going crazy.
