Western Digital 2TB WD Red Plus NAS Internal Hard Drive HDD - 5400 RPM, SATA 6 Gb/s, CMR, 64 MB Cache, 3.5" -WD20EFPX

We use WD Red drives for our NAS servers. They work perfectly out of the box, install easily, and have had limited issues with them. After years of 24/7 running youMay get some errors on one but if you keep a RAID config it’s easy to replace/recover.Overall, very dependable and good price.

Very pleased with these drives.I am running these in an XFS raidz configuration. They are nearly silent, but make a little noise when seeking and a distintive clunk on power off. Transfer rate is 250 MB/s on the outer tracks.So far so good. The drive gets excellent ratings, and the warranty is excellent.

It's a trusted brand that excels in the field of storage solutions.In conclusion, the Western Digital 14TB WD Red Pro NAS Internal Hard Drive is an excellent choice for anyone seeking a high-capacity, reliable storage solution.

Hooked it up and all of the transfers are super fast.

I was all. excited to buy qty 2 of these. I got them and found out they will not work with my Synology NAS as it only accepts up to 20TB. So I went to my attached USB 2 drive Terramaster and sure enough it also only handles up to 20TB. From my research the 20TB is really a limit until a newer generation of home server or USB multi drive. unit comes out.. Buyer beware.. My Synology could handle one of them but not two in a raid..

I have an older 2 bay synology NAS. Recently exceeded the 3TB storage. Upgraded to 2 of these in RAID 1 configuraion. So far so good. A tad noisy on spin up, but silent when running.

Update: Below is the "usual RMA process" which is referenced throughout this rant.**Following case creation I followed up for 4 days until someone looked at it, created the RMA and (in an unsual positive move) created a ups return label for the drive. I shipped it off for the month long turnaround time.***** new fast process - contact person in their chat customer service department with the following information:original invoice pdfdate of failure, type of failureSerial number of drive to be RMA'dshipping addressSuggestion: register the drive for warranty service using the original invoice and received date prior to contacting them, it saves them doing it themselves and may speed things up a bit.I have purchased 4 drives in January of 2023. I am writing this in July 2023. I have had 7 drives fail so far. (Aug 2024)I am not impressed with the urgency shown by their warranty department.Update, its November 2023 and I have experienced 5 drive failures out of the 4 drives.Warranty department has "lost" two drives so far, somewhere within their warehouse, delaying shipment for several days, and in one case (where I had paid for expedited service) shipment was delayed a week while they investigated.UPDATE: Jan 2 2024.I'm running a QNAP NAS. In No 2023 I had a "normal" drive failure of the "oldest" drive and began the RMA process. As usual, the RMA interface failed and I had to create a case to have them begin the RMA process. See Above.Then, I had another hard drive failure. My RAID-5 was now destroyed along with all my data that I had put on to the system so far. This was 4 years of business photos and video, business records and more.That day I purchased a Toshiba HD which arrived the next day, and QNAP spent a MONTH (being awesome and ) trying to help me recover my data. Eventually they got enough back to copy off the array (and back on to the 10 year old WD drive enclosure I was using beforehand) so I could rebuild the drive when the 4th disk arrived from WD.The 5th replacement disk arrives this Friday after shipping it in Early December. (all that diagnostic time took a toll on shipping).Today, I had another hard drive failure. I'm up to 6 drive replacements. I originally purchased 4 drives, which means I've replaced two of the replacement drives. In less than a year.I've changed from Raid-5 to Raid 6, meaning I've sacrificed 2 of the 4 hard drives for backup of the other two now, resulting in what was a 50+ TB raid storage becoming 35TB raid storage.Very disheartening.edit Aug 7, 2024.Since January I've only had 2 hard drive failures - the first in July and the second today. The RMA process continues to be entirely broken.Normal service turnaround time is 35 days from manual forced creation of RMA by chat service agents to receipt of replacement hard drive.This can be sped up by tracking the shipments and reaching out to the chat agents during their normal business hours to allow them to see that their warehouse takes 6 business days to in-process an rma and 5 business days to out-process an rma. Basically, track the shipment in to the warehouse, give the chat agents the tracking information, they will make you wait while they presumably call someone to see if its a hard drive or a brick in the box, and then they will trigger the next step in the process. "Agents are available only between: Monday - Friday 0800 - 1900 PST and Saturday - Sunday 0800 - 1700 PST".

The Drive is very quiet and responsive and I really like the storage capacity.

great

Todo de acuerdo a lo esperado, hasta ahora trabajando sin problemas y llegó mucho mejor empaquetado que los que envía directamente Amazon, últimamente Amazon envía los discos duros en sobre con prácticamente nada de protección más que las pequeñas burbujas que trae el interior del sobre, no he tenido problemas tampoco y no me preocupa tanto por la excelente política de devoluciones de Amazon pero definitivamente no es la mejor forma de empaquetar un disco duro, en este caso el disco llegó en caja con algo de protección extra, se agradece.

Comprei para compor o volume de storage de NAS da synology. HD compatível e suportado pela Synology, foi perfeito para expandir a capacidade de armazenamento. Vendedor entregou no prazo correto com produto em bom funcionamento e condições apesar de embalado apenas com 2 plásticos finos. Hard drives requerem cuidado adicional para proteção.

Buen producto, por el precio
