It's a good deal though not the best. I got the 20 TB version for around the same price. Had to return it though because DOA.

If u asking about the failure rate, dun think should be very high. Most new drives should be tested to make sure it is functional before they pass QC test. If u asking about what happens if u get a DOA unit, just follow standard RMA procedures to send back to amazon US and they will send u back a new unit lor... may take awhile to get it sorted out. If not urgent just wait for the next sales la should be coming up soon like 7.7 8.8 9.9 or black friday etc. Buy from amazon sg better la... faster delivery and RMA dun need to send all the way back to US

Yup sometimes is due to poor handling that cause damage to the unit... see luck lor... but mostly no problems one la. No need to be so paranoid
