- Would totally recommend this product.

- fast for a 7200rpm drive; - its not as loud as people claim it to be; Rather quiet actually for a NAS drive

- it runs hot - Im hitting temps up to 51c with fans turned down low in a corsair 540 case

I have eight of these drives in a Synology DS3617xs with room for more. I have trusted Western Digital drives to store my data for years and never had a problem. These Pro series drives are designed for larger NAS systems and have been performing perfectly without any issue since they were...

+1 - Item arrived on time, and not damaged +1 - Item is as described +3 - 6TB of storage for under $250, NAS rated, and WD reliability Thoughts: This is not my first WD NAS drive I've bought. I've come to appreciate the reliability of WD, as I've only 1 in 20 fail me over time.

WD Red Pro 6TB HDD: I recently bought two of these, and both worked straight out the box. Their read/write speeds are great, I haven't noticed a slow down in gaming performance since I moved my Steam Library accross to this drive and kept my operating system on my SSD. The wife loves hers too.

Great product, gets 217Mbytes/s sustained and 9.7ms average access time.

Good drive - fast read and write speeds. This one, however was DOA. PB Tech immediately RMAed it at no cost (thanks - PB Tech!). Unfortunately, they didn't have a replacement in stock so I got a refund and bought from another supplier at a slightly higher cost.

Equipped with a dual core processor and 128MB of cache, the Western Digital Black WD6001FZWX 6TB aims to be at the forefront of speed and reliability for professionals and enthusiasts alike. Were they successful in achieving this goal? I think so.

The 6TB Red Pro builds on WD's portfolio of purpose-built hard drives for NAS, offering a 50% capacity boost over the previous highest capacity model ( 4TB WD Red Pro ). The Red Pro family is designed to address the needs of those using storage systems up to 16 bays, ideal for SMBs and remote/branch...

Strong performance compared to non-Pro 6TB Red; Capacities now matching WD Red-series

Some areas; like CIFS mixed 8K 70/30 workload; showed weaker performance than standard Red

Put it in a freenas box and it gets less than 1ms latency and over 100 MB/s read/write so couldn't be happier. I plan to get many more for ZFS.

As I expected

None so far

Stores data as described. Only issue was it was not packed very well.
