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).

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.

Excellent performance and storage size
I have three of these hard drives installed in my home server, and they are absolute beasts! I get read and write speeds of over 200MBps over my gigabit network, and even faster when transferring data within the server.

Excellent
I got this drive to use as a mass backup / storage using a bare drive adapter. It is fast and quiet. Would thoroughly recommend it.

Solid...so far
I have had Green drives running in a Drobo FS NAS for almost 5 years without any failure. I just got a Synology DS1515+ NAS so figured I'd stick with WD and try out the new fangled Reds in that. I put in 3 and so far so good: no errors, quiet, good performance.
Pros:
- Price (when on sale -NAS specific -WD name
Cons:
- -Price (when not on sale -Warranty (5 year is for the "Pro" version
- not these which have only 3 years
