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.
