Ran a few tests the day I got it and everything seemed fine. Went to use my pc today (8-18) and the drive wouldnt work. All tests I ran failed within the first few hundred megabytes. Fails to delete my data off the drive.

Decent write speeds; About what I expected for a 5400rpm drive

Died after only a few months

Just after one year disk is damaged, no clear warranty specification give, complete waist

I needed a replacement HDD drive for NAS at work. Over the past few years I have chosen these drives as replacement HDD for servers and NAS due to the claims made by the manufacturer on reliability. The RED's are still in operation and I haven't had any issues or hardware alerts.

Does the job and keenly priced.

Easy To Set Up; Easy To Use

Western Digital's new line of Red drives has been specifically engineered to work with NAS devices. These 3.5-in SATA drives can be installed in most of the common NAS devices on the market including those from the likes of Synology, D-Link and Drobo.

Specially engineered for NAS; Three models from 1TB to 3TB; Improves NAS read and write speeds; Balance Plus tech may boost reliability

The drives demand a small premium; Maybe not for SMBs with light NAS use

Excellent storage drive for storage photos, videos and other files in a NAS or Attached storage array.

Its a 1TB internal hard disk and it works! It matches another of the same type that is about 6 months or so old in a NAS box in a mirror configuration. The drive installed easily in the NAS box with the (NAS box) provided cradle and screws, was detected by the NAS box software as available and was...

Nice and quite

It works perfect as a NAS drive as it should. I like the variable speed 54k thru 72K which helps with performance when you need it and energy savings when you don't. I do think it's just a bit pricy for a 1TB. but then again, not by much.

I purchased two of these 1TB Red drives 5.5 years ago (Oct 2013). They're installed in a Synology NAS that's up almost 24/7. After 47437 hours of power-on time, one of the drives is finally showing degraded status (thresholded read error rate, sector reallocations, and long spin-up time).
