Everything is fine, there are only minor drawbacks.

I bought it on . market, but did not take into account that they have a return period for a defective product of only 7 days, then deal with the manufacturer yourself. I had to spend 600 on sending by mail from St. Petersburg to Hong Kong - there is their technical service. Moral: check everything at once :(
I will leave the overall rating 4 because of the troubles with the first disc. Satisfied with the disk that was sent for replacement.

Pros

Initially, the purchased disc turned out to be defective (see the "Disadvantages" section). Replaced under warranty works well, pretty quiet.

Cons

It is not formatted, and after using the WD diagnostic utility, it is no longer visible at all. I passed it to wd under warranty, I'm waiting for a new one, maybe it will be normal - then I'll ate the review . They sent the same new one after 2 months, it works fine.
