It has worked perfectly right out of the box! I installed it, formatted it and it's working great!. I have trusted Western Digital hard drives for years now and would highly recommend any of their products. They install easily and work perfectly.
The packing was poor. The drives were packed in small padded mailers, then placed in a larger padded mailer. The manufacture dates were 2016 and 2017, so not "new". They were still sealed in their anti-static bags.
I'll see how they hold up.
