- Would totally recommend this product.
- fast for a 7200rpm drive; - its not as loud as people claim it to be; Rather quiet actually for a NAS drive
- it runs hot - Im hitting temps up to 51c with fans turned down low in a corsair 540 case
I have eight of these drives in a Synology DS3617xs with room for more. I have trusted Western Digital drives to store my data for years and never had a problem. These Pro series drives are designed for larger NAS systems and have been performing perfectly without any issue since they were...
This is the only 5TB + HD to retain center screw holes to fit legacy products. Seagate, Hitatchi, Toshiba, Deskstar etc, dropped the center screw holes and thus will not mount in legacy products. They claim it was necessary to accomodate the extra platters. Micro Center claimed they had no clue.
Put it in a freenas box and it gets less than 1ms latency and over 100 MB/s read/write so couldn't be happier. I plan to get many more for ZFS.
As I expected
None so far
Stores data as described. Only issue was it was not packed very well.
The first (via Amazon) was shattered on arrival, but the two from Scan were properly packed but still both failed the WD diagnostic test. Scan did a great job of RMAing the failed drives, but in the end I decided to collect one in person from a local retailer to eliminate postal damage.
Provides fast access to Windows and Unix systems for storage
Fast drive great for my NAS
Too good
