I ordered the same 3 because I have a built-in my old 712+ in my new DS 1513+ and 2. The plates were delivered in a big box, however, were located 3 smaller boxes were properly padded with filler. In the small boxes which disks were then packed with shock absorbers made of elastic plastic and back padded with filler.
Nevertheless, I have carried out immediately after installing a complete SMART test and everything seems to be OK.
In operation they are extremely quiet. Even so quietly that the fan of the DS 712+ is louder. This was previously not so with the WD Green. In addition, you can feel no vibrations! You have to very focus on in order to feel something. The Red's are as much as about 5 ° C cooler than the Green or about 32 ° max. at idle.
Bottom line, I can only recommend the plates!
