Western Digital Red 3TB review
While most consumer hard disks are designed to be jacks of all trades, Western Digital's Red range of SATA3 hard disks is designed specifically for use in home and small business NAS devices. To this end, it's built for durability, power efficiency and low noise levels of just 23dB(A).

Great value for money for 3TB drive
I needed a few high capacity drives for my home file server. Although they are a bit slow in transfer speeds compared to high-spec desktop drives but WD RED series drives claimed to be build with 24/7 operation in mind and TLER feature enabled which is great for home/SOHO file servers.
Pros:
- Easy To Install
- Quiet
Cons:
- 3yr Warranty
- Slow

Great product for NAS

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.

Quiet performers
I bought a pair of these a little over 12 months ago to go with my Synology DS213 and I'm very impressed. Not the fastest drives you can buy but they run very quietly and perform perfectly well for their intended application.
