Review: As anticipated - As anticipated Review: They've been reliable - I have had 5 of these drives in a RAID10 set (with a warm spare) for over a year, running with no issues under light load with regular consistency checks. The host system is Linux Mint 22.3. I picked this model based on data published by Backblaze. A few months ago I bought 2 more, and am using them as manually-mirrored single drives. No issues with any of them.
