ST2000DM001 reliability experience ?
Seems like the only option I can easily get for 2TB that is on the HCL for my NV+ is this drive. I note a previous topic where users were experimenting with and starting to use this drive in their NAS...

Thanks all for your insights.
My NV+ is definitely no longer under warranty - even had to replace a bad PSU on it recently (no loss of data).
ST2000VN000 is not carried by my usual retailer, so may not be a good option for me.
Another option could be ST2000NC001 - not sure if anyone's tried that one ? (about $40 cheaper than the NM0033)
Cheapest option is definitely the WD20EFRX (though spindle speed is 5400 rpm) - reviews also seem to indicate good reliability.
May just go the WD path, since it seems a number of people have been successful with this drive.
