Pros: Update to my earlier review. I initially bought one of these drives along with a cheaper Samsung. My overall experience didn't show much of a difference in my 1 month worth of testing. However, the number of unhappy customers with the Samsung over the course of a year turned me off, even though it's ~ 50% cheaper. I ended up buying 10 additional drives of the WD RE3s for a RAID 6 setup (11 drives total). So far I'm very pleased. Not a single SMART error on any of the 11 drives received. I'm getting 630 MB/s bursts, 521 MB/s average sequential reads, and 7.9 ms random access. This is w/ a 64kB strip size, LBA 64 mode, RAID 6.
Cons: Biggest con is the price - but I guess you get what you pay for (or I hope). Check all of the reviews here on Newegg before making your final decision - for an 11+ drive file server, the drives are by far the largest percentage of the cost, and could also end up being the largest time suck if you end up replacing/rebuilding an array every couple months. In the end the extra cost was worth it for my peace of mind, if nothing else.
Overall Review: It might just be my case (NORCO 20 bay hot swap), but these things start cooking (62+C) during heavy use/intial RAID build. I had to open up the case and stick a large fan in front of it, which brought the temps down into the 50C range. It's going to get worse once I fill it with 9 more drives. For those building a large array, also be prepared for very long build and rebuild times (7 hrs total for the full volume).
