Two months, flight normal :)
20 June 2014 
I've been using it for several months now, and no problems have been detected. I hope there won't be any, as I've always trusted WD. I can't comment on speed because I use it on an SSD for the system, and you know how fast those are.
There is a model with 4 terabytes! If only someone had told me about this earlier when I was using a 200 megabyte drive :) Not that I urgently need such volume now, but I got more out of greed :) It's good to have, free space is never excessive. A good manufacturer, I've used WD for many years, and never had any problems.
Noisier and hotter than many other less capacitive models. But everything still remains within the normal range.
use WD AV-GP month or more i recommend it should buy
