  • Works Great with Synology
Capacity: 8TB Style: 256 MB Cache
My level with servers is that of an absolute amateur. I don't need instantaneous speed, high uptime, or needing to handle high loads during a peak time. I use my NAS as a repository to stream movies on plex occasionally, store home photos and videos, and back up phone data across my family. While I cannot speak for those with more nuanced intricacies, I can highly recommend this for those at my level - to those who dabble in storing family data. The high storage capacity is perfect for RAID arrays, which has already helped once when an older drive failed due to other hardware difficulties. The rebuild was flawless. In addition, even when bulk information goes through the drives, the drives are never that loud. It's great for home use and is barely even noticeable. 5/5 for surviving consistent uptime, good data storage for the price, and being low volume. ... show more

  • Lots of storage for a good price.
Capacity: 10TB Style: 256 MB Cache
Replace an SSD and a SATA drive with this one and I gotta say it's pretty good. I can't really say anything about noise since my office has a few systems with audible fans which I wouldn't say are loud but definitely not completely quiet. Transferring big files like zip or iso are really fast and big groups seems fast as well. Happy with the price and performance so far. Update... Was making a sound but I noticed it stopped when I held down my PC. So it seems like the drives rotates really fast and if parts in your case are just a little loose you will hear some noise. I opened up my case made sure everything around the drive was secured and so far no loud noise. ... show more

  • WD Red for the Win
Capacity: 4TB Style: 256 MB Cache
I have always used the WD Red drives in my servers and NAS units since they brought them out...this is going all the way back to the WHS 2011. They are good drives, economically priced and last for ever in the right conditions. I recently migrated over from a WHS box to a WD server, and these were the natural choice for it. They were recognized immediately and set up quickly in the WD server. As I monitor the health, there have been no critical issues for the drives in the 7 months they've been in the WD server. I recently added two more 4TB drives in the Raid 1 function, which now gives me 8TB of secure and stable storage. This matches the level of performance that my original 4- 1TB Red drives I had in my WHS 2011 server, which to this day, is still showing as healthy in the pooled drive array as reported in the SMART monitoring. ... show more

  • Nice drives but loud

These drives work really well, only complaint is that they're rather loud compared to the last set of NAS drives I had.

  • My Favorite HDD for my NAS
Capacity: 10TB Style: 256 MB Cache
I have a NAS in my house for storing various things and this HDD specifically is the go to for that function. They last a long time and never give me any problems. I would always recommend a Red drive for almost anything. The only better ones would be purple I would guess but I have not had to try them to find out since these are so great. ... show more

  • Be careful - can be noisy!
Capacity: 10TB Style: 256 MB Cache
I got these drives for use in a NAS, which is in another room. For that usage they are great. But beware, they are 7200 RPM, which can get a little noisy! I would not want them in my PC in my bedroom.

  • Fully met my expectations. Excellent NAS drive for RAID
Capacity: 1TB Style: 64 MB Cache
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. ... show more
