Western Digital Red NAS Hard Drive Review [WD30EFRX]
It's an interesting decision - WD is expanding their low-power 3.5" hard drive offerings with a second line at the same time Seagate exists the "green" market, claiming low-power drives aren't really all that beneficial or quite frankly, special.
Pros:
- Best in class power consumption
- Strongest sequential read and write performance
- Suited perfectly for SOHO NAS environments
Cons:
- Best in class power consumption
- Strongest sequential read and write performance
- Suited perfectly for SOHO NAS environments
- Weaker random I/O performance seen in our mixed workloads

Great product for NAS
Bought 2 of the drive 3 days ago to upgrade my D-Link DNS323 server. It's like a breeze to replace two old 500 Seagate 500GB drives, and works right away. Noise level is much lower than previous Seagate drives. The new drives work quietly. After 3 days continuous work, it looks to be quite reliable.

3 out of 8 dead (replacement works fine for now)
Purchased 8 drives for two Sagate Black Armor NAS 400. One drive failed immediately and I sent it for replacement. Within a week, second died (just trying to spin on for few seconds after restart and that's it). Tryed to hook it up to three different system just to run S.M.A.R.T.

I never would have imagined these drives would not arrive in working condition. I've always had good luck with WD drives. These came making a loud clicking noise and couldn't be recognized for formatting.

NAS drive
Works well in the Raid5 Drobo it's set-up in. This one is actually a spare on the shelf. Have five others running in the Drobo without any issues.

bought for storage
I didnt buy these drives for performance, I bought them for massive storage. I ripped all my dvds to my server so they would be available to my network. when I set this up originally I started with 500 gig drives, over the years adding dvds and other data I had to keep expanding, I now have 12 hard...
Pros:
- huge capacity
- high mtbf
- configurable tler (impressive!)
- extremely quiet
- 3 year warranty
Cons:
- slow rotation speed
- engineering is all about give and take I guess
