I've been using shucked WD Elements/EasyStore/MyBook drives in my 24/7 media server since 2018 without issue. I also have another as a torrent drive which has constant read/writes for around the same time again without issue.
I really don't see the justification for paying nearly 2x the price just to get an actual red label sticker on the drive.
Yeah, I don't diagree on Value, I just would not trust them on mission critical. If you listen to back catalog of 2.5admins they explain in detail about what you could encounter. On the flip side drives are supposed to last 10 years, I have a 13 year old one still chugging away.
