  • Perfect NAS Replacement - RAID Rebuild Success
Capacity: 10TB Style: Red Plus
I picked up this 10TB WD Red Plus as a replacement for a failing drive in my NAS, and it performed exactly as hoped. The unit successfully rebuilt the RAID array using this drive - yes, it took quite a while since I'm running consumer-grade equipment, but that's expected with a 10TB rebuild. The 7200 RPM speed and CMR technology really shine in NAS applications compared to SMR drives that can struggle during rebuilds. Everything is running smoothly now and my data feels much better protected. The 256MB cache and SATA 6 Gb/s interface keep up well with my network demands. WD Red Plus drives are specifically designed for NAS environments, and it shows - no compatibility issues, proper vibration handling, and built to run 24/7. Worth every penny for the peace of mind, especially when replacing a failing drive. If you're running a home NAS, don't cheap out on drives - this is exactly what you want protecting your data. ... show more

  • Works fine but let's talk about the "noise" that some don't like
Capacity: 2TB Style: Red Pro
This drive worked perfectly upon installation and I've had no problems with it in over 2 weeks. I'm using it for Time Machine backups via an external disk attachment on a 7 year old Mac. Time Machine runs about once an hour. However, I noticed that some reviewers are complaining about the noise on this drive and I want to use my IT professional background to give some insight into what might be going on for them so that others can make an informed decision on this drive. I have the 2 TB drive. I don't personally find this drive to be loud and it's running in an external disk drive enclosure. It runs about once an hour for however long Time Machine needs to run. When the drive is in use, it does make some noise, but it can't be heard at all outside of the room it's in. I sleep in the room next to where it lives and both rooms are always open and I've never had this drive make enough noise to be heard beyond maybe 7 feet from it and it can barely be heard at that distance. So why are some people complaining rather bitterly about how loud this drive is? First of all, it's an old school mechanical drive. It will make some noise when in use. That is the nature of these drives. And the more you use them and the more filled up they get, the more likely they are to make some noise on use. It is also possible that some drives off the manufacturing line are better than others, some are worse, and some of the people who complain just by bad luck got a noisy one. I don't find the noise I'm hearing to be unusual for this type of drive. I've heard a lot worse. Also, if someone is going to use this drive with a lot of file deletions and additions, it's going to make more noise. My suggestion for people who are extremely noise sensitive is to consider paying more and using SSDs instead. They won't make any noise. This drive has worked exactly as I intended it to work and I would recommend it to others. Again, please note that this is a mechanical drive and its lifespan is expected to be much lower than that of an equivalent SSD. You should probably think about replacing it after 3-4 years whereas for a 2 TB SSD, ,in theory you could get decades of heavy use before it goes bad. That's why SSDs cost more. ... show more

  • Great HDD
Capacity: 18TB Style: Red Pro
Bought 2 of these huge 18 Tb HDD for my Aurender ACS10 music server in RAID configuration. Works like a champ. Nearly 2 Tb lost to formatting though. Easy install, so far they work great!
