I use this as part of my basic NAS for the last 4 years. It's now showing bad sectors but I suspect that it's due to powering down my RPi improperly. It was still under warranty and they were going to replace it but the hassle of backing up 4tb of data (most of it not important) to receive a refurbished drive didn't seem worth it. Nonetheless, that's pretty good mileage for a drive I got for ~$91.

Funny. This same drive just recently died on me also. Used mainly for cold storage and not used too often. Was trying to backup some files into my new NAS and it threw all sorts of read errors. Lost a bunch of data on it. Luck of draw I suppose as another one I bought a year later still seems to be ok for now, but I don't trust it. Mine is out of warranty now.

Deal seems to be still live at Walmart https://www.walmart.com/ip/110726...e366887b5b
Edit: Looks like 3rd party, sorry that I didn't notice that. Hope it's legit, free returns at least.

Ugh, this has been a nightmare for me. I ordered 4 drives from this seller accidentally thinking it was walmart.com. Two of the drives were delivered today to different locations that were not my house (fedex pictures showed different locations). I'm still struggling with Walmart to get this sorted...
