On WD Red NAS Drives
WD bought out Hitachi's storage business in 2012, so those Ultrastars are still their own, albeit different branding.

Hitachi drives (not the NAS category) have been at the top of Backblaze’s annual hard drive reliability charts for several years even after the WD acquisition. So that division is still churning out drives that are better than the WD branded drives.

They're now all branded WD.

An Ultrastar failed on me a month ago. Unlucky.

WD also bought out SanDisk apparently for SSD drive market.
