Pros: As I said in my previous review of this drive, it’s extremely quiet and vibration-free. Quietest drive I’ve ever seen. Cons: None. Overall Review: I wrote in my previous review that I would buy a second one of these drives, and I did. I now have two of these in a Synology DS212j NAS, and it’s dead quiet. So quiet, in fact, that I have to look at the LED indicators to see if the drives are spinning. Love them.

Pros: I’ve built numerous NAS devices. My most recent was a 24TB system for a geology company. I chose WD Red drives (3TB in that case) for that build because I know what I am doing, and so does Western Digital. I used a Synology NAS and was extremely happy with it. + Key feature: These drives work *properly* in RAID arrays. (!)See note below. + Very low power usage and thus heat. The drive added about 6W in heavy use, 4W idle, including power supply overhead. This is even lower than some…

Pros: – Fast data transfer rates – Very quiet – Low heat – Low power – Good price per GB – All data usable (IF GPT IS USED) – Very light Cons: – Big drives (such as this one) do not play nicely with the old MBR style of using a drive. Overall Review: Just to get it out of the way, you really need to use GPT with this disk. If you aren’t sure what GPT is, give it a quick read on google. The cliffnotes version is: MBR is the old way of partitioning a drive. It only supports a few partitions…

Pros: Dual-plane balance control technology significantly improves the overall drive performance and reliability 35% MTBF improvement over standard desktop drives. 3 year warranty NASware 2.0 Low power draw High performance for its class Runs cool and quiet Cons: None at this time for the drive. From what I can gather the premium support is free for the first call,subsequent calls may have fees. I didnt want to pose as an end user for the review and use my 1 call without need,rest assured if…

Pros: Very smart and great for NAS machines. Huge size. Cons: None that I am aware of Overall Review: Western Digital is a leader in drive hardware. I am a fan.

Pros: I tested one of these drives alone then tested two of them together in a RAID0 in my NAS. The single drive got: 164.5 MB/s aligned sequential read 0.573MB/s random 4K read 158.4 MB/s aligned sequential write 1.739 MB/s random 4K write That’s fairly impressive considering the specs from WD say 164MB/s is the max write speed they got in testing. In a RAID0 array of 2 of these drives with a 128Kb stripe size, I got: 323 MB/s aligned sequential read 1.165 MB/s random 4K read 310.7 MB/s…

Pros: Newegg sent me two of these drives to test, I used gnome-disks to test the latency and bandwidth and badblocks to test for errors. The tests were run on a Skylake iCore7 system running Fedora 23. I did overnight runs of badblocks on both drives as well as the built in SMART extended test. All tests passed with no errors and no errors reported in the SMART status. This says nothing about long term reliability but out of the box the drives are solid. Cons: The performance of the drives…

Pros: As usual, shipping time from newegg.com was expeditious and the hard drives (quantity of 2) arrived undamaged and very well packaged. Once I opened the shipping box, the inside revealed air cushion fillers and 2 WD-branded cardboard boxes. Each WD cardboard box contained a Hard Drive in a shock absorbing cradle. I was very happy with the shipping. – WD Red NAS hard drives are recommended by the manufacturer for use in home and small office NAS systems with 8 or less Hard Drives. – I…
