Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The drives are used daily for photography and graphic design work. This is my 4th wd red drive and they all work great, oldest 2 drives are 3. I recommend this as it is with a better price and same performance to its competitors.

Some reviews say the seagate iron wolf drives are faster but they are also more expensive. They are very quiet which makes them a nice option for an htpc, media server or nas storage. Read and write speeds are fast. A little noisy the first day.

Cons

Western digital nas hdd products are not very reliable. First of all, there is zero packing material and only the anti-static bag to protect the drive. And firstly, it's likely i got a bad unit, so your mileage may vary.

Quality

I wish amazon sold the 12tb hard drives too but for the price and capacity i cant complain

Easy to do with the help of qnap

Wd is know for making cheap drives cheap in price and sometimes in quality this one is no different

Replaced my 6 year old 4 tb nas storage drives with the newer 6tb faster nas storage drive as started getting data errors

Price

Price was good and capacity was sufficient for the need

Good price gave me cheap upgrade to get more storage out of my nas

Maybe a bigger size if the price is good

Shipping

Nice fast harddrive shipped fast and works great

Packaging/appearance

Not a wd fault the industry should put both claimed and estimated actual storage in their packaging to avoid confusion

Competitiveness

I bought a couple of these as part of a new synology nas purchase almost two years ago

Ive installed 4 of them in a synology ds920 and theyve been blazing fast

The bearings were humming quite a lot more than 3x 8tb seagate drives combined together

The 4tb wd red drives are the most reliable and have the greatest longevity of all this series
