    • WesternDigital 8TB
Capacity: 8TB Style: Red Plus
This is an excellent NAS hard drive with 8 TB of storage, specifically designed for home or small business NAS systems. Its stable performance, low noise level, and good energy efficiency make it ideal for backups, multimedia storage, or RAID configurations. Many users highlight its reliability and ample capacity for large amounts of data. Some mention that it can be a bit noisy during intense data transfers, but overall, it offers great value for money and reliable 24/7 operation. ... show more

    • A Big Hard Drive that Works
Capacity: 12TB Style: Red Plus
I use this in an external hard drive caddy - one of the things that looks like a toaster an connects to the computer by USB 3. It works well and is as fast as can be expected for a drive of this specification in an extern caddy. The thing about hard drives is that your chances of getting a good one that will work well for years are huge. There is a trifling small chance you will get a dud that will fail after not much use. Happily, in this case I got a good one. ... show more

    • So far so good. So quiet! CMR, fast, low power.
Capacity: 8TB Style: Red Plus
I hate to review components like these until I've had them a long time, but now is probably the time for harddrive buying in general. First of all, to those who are wondering, no the 5640 RPM is not a typo. The official specs sheet says that's what it runs at. I think this helps it find a better balance between 5400 RPM power efficiency and 7200 RPM responsiveness. It claims to run cool and it does seem to do so. One lucky surprise is that it's quiet. A lot of larger harddrives intended for NAS or other RAID systems don't really try to be that quiet. According to the spec sheet it's officially 24dBA idle, 28dBA access. That's insane. I can't measure it with digital precision, but I can say it's one of the least annoying sounding drives I have used in a long time. Even many 5400 RPM 2.5" harddrives bother my ears these days (SSDs have spoiled me!) It doesn't seem to have quite the same "whoosh" sound of the actual platters spinning that normally bothers me if a drive is at all close enough to hear. (How did I survive harddrives in the 90s??? I don't know!) This thing is almost whisper quiet and putting my ear right up to it can still make it hard to hear. I think maybe the 5640 RPM contributes to this — likely it strikes a better balance in regards to sonic properties. My best guess is vibrations don't interfere with each other as much or something to that effect. And even the "grinding" when it's accessing data is quieter than most. I went ahead and wrote this review now in part because I just really want to emphasize how much quieter this drive is compared to most. As another piece of good news, this entire series is made with CMR — that is classic magnetic recording — rather than SMR (shingled magnetic recording.) A lot of larger drives in this sort of range use SMR because it's cheaper, but it also is significantly slower on any writes bigger than the cache size — which is probably going to be any decent sized transfers at all. I also see a lot of claims that SMR drives last significantly less actual usage hours (which might make sense since they must rewrite every single block that changes for even a small write.) Right now I have more confidence in a CMR drive to hold up past the 1.5 year mark that seems to come up a lot in reviews and complaints for SMR drives. Speeds did dip down to something like 160MB/s for the final average (instead of the 215MB/s in the specs) for a huge transfer operation, but all in all this drive strikes a lot of great balances. Only time will tell on reliability, but this is a good line. ... show more

    • Not a brand new item and doesn't work
Capacity: 6TB Style: Red Plus
Review Image by LK LK
When I received the item the seal on the box was cut open. The plastic package that the drive is in, inside the box, was also slit open. I did not receive a new item. When I plugged the drive in the disk did not spin up and the drive was not recognized. I have another WD Red Plus that is 8TB and my computer has no problem recognizing that drive as soon as I plug it into my drive reader. I can also hear the disk spinning in the 8TB where as in the 6TB I don't hear anything. It's a defective item that was probably returned prior and they just sent it to me claiming it was brand new. The photo is a picture of the item as soon as I pulled it out of the box before I even tried to see if it would work. ... show more

Using a pair of these in a RAID 1 array in a direct attached storage device. Seem solid so far after a few months of use.

    • High capacity, CMR, no errors, runs stable (so far)
Capacity: 8TB Style: Red Plus
Upon opening the box, I ran SMART extended drive test using Linux GParted. SMART reported no errors. I then formatted with NTFS 64kB with whole-drive Bitlocker. Then I ran another extended drive test. Then 6TB of backup data was transferred to the drive and a hash manifest was generated for each directory. At this point, the drive had been operating continuously for days, sweeping the entire surface multiple times with tests, reads, and writes. No errors (yet). This will be a cold storage drive in a ruggedized USB-C enclosure, accessed only a few times per year. ... show more
