- 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

Stores data as described. Only issue was it was not packed very well.

WD Red Pro 6TB HDD: I recently bought two of these, and both worked straight out the box. Their read/write speeds are great, I haven't noticed a slow down in gaming performance since I moved my Steam Library accross to this drive and kept my operating system on my SSD. The wife loves hers too.

Provides fast access to Windows and Unix systems for storage

Ive had this for days now and it still works. wow. amazing. its doing its job, so yeah - recommended...

Fast drive great for my NAS
