WD Red plus 14TB 3.5" NAS Internal HDD

Using the WD Red in my QNAP NAS, nice quiet and fast. Gradually moving onto WD Red's after my aging Seagates are starting to fail. Using the WD Red in my QNAP NAS, nice quiet and fast. Gradually moving onto WD Red's after my aging Seagates are starting to fail.

These drives are incredibly reliable and produce significantly less read/write noise compared to other competitors I’ve used. This is a great benefit if noise is a concern in your setup.

Very easy task to upgrade my NAS - working well so far Very easy task to upgrade my NAS - working well so far

decent drive, good price decent drive, good price

Strikes a good balance between performance, size and price. Decent write speed especially compared to the larger SMR drives, but not ludicrously expensive.

Will buy another in a couple of months to fill up the last slot in my NAS. Strikes a good balance between performance, size and price. Decent write speed especially compared to the larger SMR drives, but not ludicrously expensive.

I have a lot of WD red 4TB (5400 rpm) drives for my desktops and NAS - none of them failed so far.
This time I opted for the 10TB (7200 rpm) but was worried about the noise level.
I had a nice surprise that the noise level was similar to the 5400 rpm drives and not as loud as the enterprise drives which are used in servers. I have a lot of WD red 4TB (5400 rpm) drives for my desktops and NAS - none of them failed so far.

I purchase two of these to replace 3 TB WD Red disks in a NAS that failed after 8 years of contiuous operation.
The disks worked straight away in a new 4 bay NAS enclosure.
I noticed that there are two versions of the same disk for different sized NAS systems. Make sure you get the right one :-). I purchase two of these to replace 3 TB WD Red disks in a NAS that failed after 8 years of contiuous operation.

Drives by Western Digital have a well-earned reputation of being reliable. This particular "Plus" model avoids the use of SMR (shingled media recording) which makes it more reliable and suitable for NAS applications. Although the drive capacity is high, the drive technology does not yet need to rely on a helium-filled case; hence no need to worry about respective leaks. Synology have approved this drive for use in their NAS systems. Drives by Western Digital have a well-earned reputation of being reliable.
