Review on 💾 High-Performance 4TB Datacenter HDD - WD SE 7200 RPM 6 Gb/s SATA with 64MB Cache - WD4000F9YZ by Timothy Louis

I bought 2 of these drives in April 2017 and registered them with WD (please note this drive has a 5 year warranty). In January 2020, one of the drives failed SMART testing. I was able to get an RMA through WD; It took 2 weeks to replace the hard drive. Right now (October 2020) the second drive has failed. This time WD won't leave me an RMA; I tried speaking to someone at WD but this guy was clueless and didn't agree with the RMA so I decided to buy another manufacturer's drive. like that . one drive failed after about 2 1/2 years and the other drive failed after about 3 1/2 years. Since they have a 5 year warranty, I expected both drives to at least last beyond the warranty period - I also expected WD to honor their warranty. I am very disappointed in WD and cannot recommend this product.
