Update: New drive works great; I have about 2OTB stored and filed away for safe keeping. back to 5 stars, fast replacement turnaround.

Extra Warranty over Green and Blue drives. Passed my my pre-install tests, full surface scan, Smart check and 3 passes with PreClear Running in NAS for 1 month with no issues

- for the size and tasks required of them, I can't even hear them working.

I will say that this hard drive is very user friendly, especially considering I have never built a PC in my life, and am slowly going through upgrading the one I bought from Newegg years ago. I was able to find a YouTube video of a hard drive installation from the same company and it translated super easily to this one.

One of largest drives on the market. Meant for 24/7 operation. Quiet. Works well in my NAS. No errors found on drive.

- Formatted cleanly and no errors on extended drive test. - Added to existing array cleanly. - Have been consistently getting 6+ years out of IronWolf drives in 24x7 RAID environment for media server.

- 8TB of storage. - Fast data Access in Mirror - exactly as described

Easy to install. Very fast with 512 cache. Works great. No noise when I use. Very nice.

- Fast transfer rates for HDD - Not excessively clicky - Consistent performance and good warrenty

I purchased 4 of those WD Red 3TB disks and they all work well. I first used them in an HP Proliant Microserver G8 for about a month. Then, I moved them to a Synology DS414 unit. The NAS checked the disks during close to 2 days (checking parity) and reported no error at all.

It's a harddrive, not hard to install. Areca 1222 Raid controller picked up the new HDD, and after marking it as available, rebuilt the raid set with no issues. Been monitoring the drive using the Areca Mgmt software and haven't seen any errors come up for the drive or raid set. Replaced two 500GB 5400rpm drives with these two, and the raid set is a lot of faster. Order another one to replace an older sata drive, and get the drives up to Sata III speeds


I must admit that I was nervous after reading the reviews on this site. Regardless, with the price $30 lower than normal, I decided to take the plunge and purchased 3 of these drives. My expectation was that at least one would fail or arrive doa based on these reviews. All three passed extensive diagnostics and have now been successfully added to my Synology RAID.

-Transfer rates are good - average a little over 200MB/s, drive to drive on the same LSI HBA on Unraid if it matters. -Temperature is good - average 30C in a 20C room during continuous transfer of files, about the same as a 6TB (WD6003FFBX), and about 5C lower than a 10TB (WD102KFBX). Idle temp is ~26C. This drive and comparables are in the same server/array. - Noise is relatively low, about the same as a 6TB and noticeably more quiet than the 10TB. - Cost per TB is good when on sale, very close to the largest 18-22TB rate.
