WD advertizes the Red-series explicitly for the 24x7-operation in small and medium-sized enterprises and at home in small NAS-/RAID-setups. Precisely because the drives have to run jammed together in confined spaces, solid performance and preferably low temperatures are vital.

Western Digital's Red series is definitely a success. It is superior to its predecessor in those parameters we could measure in our tests such as speed, power consumption and temperature.

This is the perfect product for heavy data users that can't afford enterprise grade HDDs, such as the WD RE4. It has a range of features that make it better suited than any other consumer HDD for RAID arrays or ZFS pools, especially for multi-user network environments.

This disk is part of Western Digital's new "Red Caviar" range, which sits between "Green" (basic) and "Black" (higher-spec). The manufacturers suggest that it is well-suited to NAS (network attached storage) use.

Because the HD was Package for retail selling there was no damage during shippment (Double boxed); it work on installation. The unit was been running for several months without any trouble.

The WD Red's are a great hard drive, they come with a 3 year warranty and are ideally suited to NAS storage devices. I wish I bought more when they came on offer, but 2 will be ok for now :)

What can I say? I've never gone wrong purchasing a Western Digital hard drive. It installed easily and provided space for my precious files. I'm happy!

I've read mixed reviews about WesternDigitial drives. While those reviews have had some influence on my choice of drive, my history with the WesternDigital brand has been a large deciding factor in not only staying with the WesternDigital brand but also with the mode of drive I use.

Price; disk size; brand; quality

None that I can really think of at this point however time is the true test of the quality of any product

Quiet and initialized without any issues. Four of these drives configured as RAID-5 are being used in a NAS. Too early to comment on their reliability but if they are anything like my other WD internal drives, they should last for years.
