This 3TB Red works well. Tested write speeds and although it's not as fast as the Black series, it is fast enough for backups and general use. |

Cons:Warranty is a bit short
Pros:Excellent price per GB, good for NAS Comment:
I'm moving up the drives in my storage appliance from 1TB WD Caviar Black, which served me well. Two of three drives died in five years, and were replaced without fuss. Now 3 TB is the sweet spot for price per GB. WD wants us to use Red drives, rather than desktop drives, for NAS and storage appliance. Choose Red Pro over Red to get a 5 year warranty. |

Cons:A little noisy
Pros:Quite the little beast Comment:
This is quite the hard disk - 3TB is plenty (for most people!) and it's rated for a long long life... I wish the warranty was a tad longer and the drive was a bit quieter, but otherwise this one is highly recommended for NAS usage. |

Cons:None so far.
Pros:Good Read/Write Speeds, Very Quiet Comment:
Only had this thing for a day, and I dumped all of my old stuff on to it. It's very quiet unlike my old drive, and the read and writes speeds are average as expected. You get exactly what you pay for, definitely would recommend either on its own or in a RAID array. Not sure how long it will last, but I'd expect a while from Western Digital. |

Cons:None
Pros:Lots of space (obviously)Pretty quick speeds Comment:
I've had the drive for a very short time but my first impressions of it are that it's quite nice to have. I have a 2TB Black which of course is nice, but now that I have a 3TB really stable drive I can have multiple back ups and it just feels really good to have those things safe (mostly, can't always trust technology 100% IMO) But overall really glad I got this drive, and the pricing is decent as well. |

Western Digital Red 3TB SATA3 7200RPM 64MB Cache 3.5IN Internal Hard Disk Drive HDD
Cons:Cost a bit more than competition
Pros:Handles high temperature very well, fast and efficient, not too noisy Comment:
I just bought 6 more of these babies to fill out a TheCus NAS box. I was using those RED WD drives since they were made available a few years back, slowly replacing all those WD Green in my older NAS Boxes (Dns-323 and Dns-325). Recently two WD-Green dies in some of my older NAS boxes. PS: When i bought the WD-Green, those RED did not exist at that time, so they were very useful for some years, but they do not handle high temperature and with the HOT summer, with 5 NAS boxes side by side, i had trouble with 2 of them, the same day (Strange!!), those NAS Boxes that were hosting the WD-Green and no trouble at all with the 3 others NAS all hosting WD-RED 3TB, that's why i decide to buy all 5 new WD-RED for my new NAS Boxes and 1 spare just in case (6 WD-Red in total). I highly recommends them |

Cons:None that I can tell
Pros:High capacity Comment:
I bought this drive for use in a NAS with five other drives, and it seems to be working well. I don't know if it is the drive or some other factor, but this drive seems to be slightly cooler, consistently, than the other drives. I had no trouble detecting the drive in FreeNAS, and no trouble using the full size of the drive. This one's a winner. |

I bought a pair of these last December to begin migration from green to red drives for a storage array.So far:No installation issues.Compatibility seems good.Speed is better than green drives.I'm hoping the better warranty compared to green drives also translates to better reliability, but this remains to be seen. |

Pros:long durability, best warranty around, low wattage Comment:
I bough this to add to my 4 disk NAS. I have 4 hitachi 3tb but they don't sell them anymore. So I bough this drive to add a fift drive. It work pretty well. It's a little slow compared to other drive, but in my 5 disk array I don't notice it. I can do more than 400mb/s. I bough it for the better warranty than other drive. |

Pros:Western Digital Red 3TB SATA3 64MB Cache 3.5in Internal Hard Disk Drive HDD Comment:
I purchased two of these drives on sale to use in my QNAP TS-469 pro I dind't recieve my NAS at this moment but I hope it will work good. The HD had a good price and that's why I choose those HD and they are compatible with QNAP. |
I have 9 of these now in total running in a couple QNAP NAS (5x a year ago, 4x a month ago). No issues yet, they perform reliably, don't cause dropouts, and no noticeable bottlenecks in terms of speed.I was able to get them for cheaper a year ago, than I could a month ago, but still fairly close together.I would not hesitate to get more of these if I needed them for a NAS. I would stick with the WD Red Brand.
