    • 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

The 10tb works great in my nas system, no heat, but I keep my nas well vented, so I don't notice any extra heat. Easy to install, helps my growing business.

    • One Drive DOA, RMA took a few weeks
Capacity: 8TB Style: Red Plus
I'm a long-time Western Digital fan of their blue and black label drives, so I decided to purchase two of these drives for my new NAS to use in a RAID1 array. One drive was DOA, and would not spin up. I work in IT. It happens. Put in an RMA on the 19th of July. Paid for their two day shipping. Tracking says they received it on the 24th (this is going from East Coast USA to West Coast (California). Great. Checked back on the RMA status on the 29th and it still said "Pending Return". Reached out to support. Got a responsive reply saying that they in fact did receive it on the 24th. Awesome. 1 hour later, I received an email saying they got my return. Odd, but fine. August 2nd, I finally got an email saying my drive was shipped (no tracking information). Today is the 13th of August, and I literally just received the drive after reaching out to support for tracking. It was in fact delivered via UPS, so I'm not sure what the delay was. It's a good thing I didn't need this drive for anything super critical. I'll update if I have issues with the drives themselves. ... show more

    • Dependable and have not had any concerns.
Capacity: 4TB Style: Red Plus
I've bought over 20 of WD's NAS storage drives. I do aloooot of video and editing, I added up a while ago and it's more now, I have almost 46 TB of content - some are 10 yrs old and still going strong. Anyone who just read this and gasped, I also have online service with all this backed up too. "-)

    • 2TB capacity is enough for a smaller setup
Capacity: 2TB Style: Red Plus
This WD Red Plus drive is a good choice if you want something made specifically for NAS use instead of a regular desktop hard drive. The 2TB capacity is enough for a smaller setup, and the CMR recording gives me more confidence for long-term storage and regular read/write use. It runs quietly enough that I do not notice it much in my enclosure. ... show more

    • Drive was DOA, hopefully replacement is not.
Capacity: 8TB Style: Red Plus
Drive is/was DOA. Neither my NAS nor my PC would recognize it. My NAS didn't see it at all. My windows PC saw it as anew drive, but when I tried to initialize it I got "The request failed due to a fatal device hardware error". I know bad drives can happen, and not overly worried about this. I've scheduled a return and have already ordered the same drive again as it most closely matches the 12 other slightly older version WD 8 TB drives I have in my NAS already. This is to replace the 13th, which is having issues. I will update this review after getting and testing the new drive, assuming it works properly. But for now, I need to note the bad drive. Update: The replacement drive showed up fine on both my PC, and my NAS (which is what this drive was intended for all along.) Only had it a couple days so can't forecast long term health, but at least it can be used. I've updated from 1 to 3 stars for now. The annoyance of the delay and the 50% success rate means I don't feel comfortable rating it any higher. I may raise it later after more sustained use. As noted above, my NAS is entirely WD 8gb drives, and I've been very happy with them now for a long time. So overall I rate WD highly. Just not this particular experience. ... show more
