The WD 1TB WDBMMA0010HNC-NRSN drive kit fully met my expectations. I bought this drive to make a RAID1 pair. The drive performed well in my home-built FreeNAS server and provided better network storage performance than expected without any glitches or issues. When compared with 750GB WD Black drives in the same server the RED drives appeared to give slightly better perforance in NAS. Maybe the NAS specific firmware isn't just marketing. For more, read on... I wanted to build a NAS server for windows sharing, iSCSI, and nfs sharing. I had an old 1U "pizza box" server with a core 2 dual CPU and 4GB of ram available plus SATA II (300MBPS) channels. I got one of the WDBMMA0010HNC-NRSN WD-red drives through the vine programs and I bought a second through Amazon to build this NAS server. This drive is the retail package. It came in a nice box with 4 screws for mounting and a little bit of very fine printed material which I didn't bother to read. If a "bare drive" is fine and you don't care about packaging you might want to consider another listing for the 1TB WD Red drives which may be at a lower price for essentially the same thing. The software I used to drive the NAS is the excellent (especially at the price) FreeNAS server. It installs on a USB stick of at least 2GB. My old box had several USB 2.1 ports, so no problem. I configured the drives in a RAID 1 mirrored array using software RAID (instead of the FRAID (fake raid) built into the motherboard chip set. I first built the server with the WD Red drives first and ran some casual tests with windows shares and iSCSI. Using windows network or iSCSI I could saturate my Gigabit Ethernet with no problem. Performance was not an issue. They ran great and I had no complaints over several days of use. This isn't too surprising as many NAS boxes use little Intel Atom processors. Next I did a comparison by replacing the WD Red drives with WD Black 750GB drives I had on the shelf. I didn't see much difference but I felt that copies of lots of small/medium files completed more quickly with the Red drives. Maybe the caching algorithm of drive was just better tuned for NAS on the Red drives. A plus is the Time Limited Error Recovery (TLER) which is an important part of drives that are designed for RAID deployment. And having a drive that is designed to be on 24X7 is great. I've switched back to the WD Red drives in my home-built NAS and I'll update this review as I live with the drives and report if there are any problems or notable excellence that stands out. Hope this bit of experience helps someone. Update: Dec 3, 2013 I have recently gotten a Buffalo LinkStation 420 2TB 2-DriveNAS Personal Cloud Storage and Media Server In comparing my home built FreeNAS system (on old core duo hardware) with two of these drives to the LinkStation with 2 Toshiba drives was interesting. The FreeNAS system with the WD NAS drives (both systems with RAID1) ran about 50% faster than the LinkStation. You can check my review on the LinkStation for more information about my comparison. The LinkStation might be a better option to get diskless for a very low price use these drives inside it. The small footprint and low power make it an attractive option. Bottom-line it seems there may be something to the NAS specific firmware of these drives.

Threw this in my home server build and it detected immediately on the first boot with zero issues. Been running it for months now and temperatures look fine, no weird sounds, totally stable. If you are setting up a RAID array this is the obvious pick since the NAS specific firmware actually matters and is not just marketing.

Pros: Time Limited Error Recovery (TLER) for NAS/RAID usage. Price premium much lower/insignificant compared to what it used to be for NAS/RAID drives. Low power/Low temp. Cons: Warranty only 3 years (What happened to the 5-year warranties, WD?) I've seen failures in many drives from Seagate, WD, and other vendors in the past. Hard drives fail. Even SSDs fail sometimes. That's why RAID configurations are so popular. All versions of RAID configuration (except for RAID 0) introduce redundancy, such that if any single drive fails, no data need be lost. Full redundancy can be regained by rebuilding the array with a replacement drive, theoretically keeping your data safe from single single points of hardware failure indefinitely. These NAS drives go one step further in that their behavior is optimized for a RAID environment. In particular, Time Limited Error Recovery (TLER) allows them to rely on the redundancy built into the RAID controller and the overall array to handle the sorts of errors which will inevitably pop up at some point. This reduces risks to data that can be caused by the behaviors of regular desktop disks, whose designers optimized them for environments where there is no RAID array backup. I have been running RAID arrays regularly with desktop drives for over 6 years now, and it's been a pretty frequent occurrence where a drive would suddenly have to be rebuilt for no apparent reason. In all likelihood, the reason was just a few bad sectors on the disk, which happens all the time. The total failure rate of drives in a RAID has been a little above normal, but the total rebuild rate without total failure has been very high. Read up on TLER, and you'll understand why that is expected behavior with desktop drives but not with NAS drives. The total drive rebuild process is actually fairly risky to the integrity of the data, considering that in most configurations there is no redundancy while this is happening. Therefore, making sure that a total rebuild doesn't happen unless necessary is a pretty good idea if you want to protect your data. That's why I am upgrading my RAID arrays with these drives. In response to the reviewer who complained that the WDIDLE3 issue affects these drives: I just bought 4 of these drives in the 1TB version from Amazon. (July 2015) All are model WD10EFRX. I ran WDIDLE3 /R to read the current value of the timer on all four of them before connecting them to my RAID controller. All four came set to 300 seconds (5 minutes.) This is a very reasonable value for most NAS/RAID usage, and certainly not as problematic as the 8 second timer that caused the well-known problems on some previous WD drives. If you're using these to mount an OS drive or a drive in Windows, that 5 minute timer will probably never be invoked. If you're using these on a 24/7 NAS or for non-OS storage in Linux like I do, that timer could lead to considerable power savings and reduced average temperatures, the latter of which will probably extend the life of the drive, not shorten it. The only way I could see the 300 second idle timer being a problem is if you're running a script that causes disk access every 6 minutes (or 10 or 15.) i.e. if there's something that regularly forces spin-up right after the disk idle has gone into effect. In that case, WDIDLE3 is included on the ultimate boot CD version 5.3.5 and can be used to disable the timer. An idle timeout of 300 seconds is a pretty good feature in most cases, though. P.S. I have four more 3TB versions of this drive in transit for my NAS (the 1TBs were for my linux desktop) I will check the default WDIDLE3 values on them as well and post here if they prove to be different.

I bought one of these drives in like-new condition from Amazon Warehouse to replace a dead Seagate Pipeline drive in a satellite receiver/DVR. It's only been running for a couple of weeks but I just had to reiterate what most reviews here are stating - it is amazingly quiet and very fast! The original drive made quite a racket because the DVR is always recording but this one is barely noticeable. My only complaint is that the manufacturing date is in July of 2021 - almost 2 years ago - which cuts the warranty significantly. I looked up the warranty status on WD's support website and found that it expires in December of 2024 - only 18 months instead of 3 years as advertised. I don't know what manufacturing date the new ones are shipping with but if the warranty is important to you I would look for the date before opening the anti-static bag it comes in so you can return it unopened if necessary. You can also check the warranty status using the serial number that is printed on the box.

Good drive. Poor shipping. The drive itself works fine. However the shipping was terrible. I ordered two 4T drives and a NAS. It took 2 weeks to arrive then one of those drives was damaged and in operable. I returned it and order another. The replacement came 3 weeks later. Just in original packaging with no over box or padding. Lucky this one worked but could have been damaged easily the way it was shipped. Definitely not what i expected from an Amazon retailer.

I built a small TrueNAS box with four WD Red Plus 4TB drives. Within the first year, one drive began throwing SMART errors. Because past RMAs with WD had taken a month or more, I bought a fifth drive out-of-pocket to keep the NAS healthy while I waited on support. Things went downhill from there. Eventually two drives started failing around the same time—the point where this whole troubleshooting saga began. I tried to use a “white-label” WD replacement they’d sent me the year before (kept sealed as a cold spare), but it was dead on arrival. That pushed me to buy a sixth drive to stay afloat and RMA the DOA unit. When the RMA replacement finally arrived, it lasted about two weeks before it started logging read errors and then disappeared entirely from the system. I opened another RMA. As of now, I’ve purchased or received a total of 8 WD Red Plus drives and 5 of them have failed in some way (including the DOA spare and the two-week wonder). I’m still waiting on two outstanding RMA replacements, and I’ve just added another drive to the RMA queue. This round, I cut my losses and bought a Seagate IronWolf Pro 4TB to replace the latest failure. What went well When they work, performance and acoustics are fine for a home NAS. WD does honor RMAs. What didn’t Reliability (for me) was poor: 5/8 drives failed within ~2 years. RMA speed: turnarounds often stretched to a month or more. Confidence hit: receiving a DOA replacement and a replacement that died in ~2 weeks eroded trust. Verdict Based on my experience, I can’t recommend WD Red Plus 4TB drives. The failure rate, DOA spare, and slow RMA cycle created too much risk for my data and too much hassle for me. I’ve moved to Seagate IronWolf Pro to restore some confidence in the array. Tips I learned the hard way Test every spare immediately (SMART short + long) so you can RMA within the seller’s return window. Monitor SMART weekly and schedule ZFS scrubs; act on “pending sector” or read-failure alerts right away. Keep a known-good spare on hand to minimize downtime while RMAs drag on. Your mileage may vary, but this was my honest, first-hand experience with WD Red Plus 4TBs.
