Big Best bang for buck value Quiet. I've read reviews whining about noisy hard drives in NAS boxes. My NAS is currently on my desk. I can hear the drive working but they are not loud.

Fast, stable drives. They seem to run cool in my system, around 80 degrees Fahrenheit. I bought 9 of these drives back in Apr 2013 and had no DOA's. I have 8 running in a RAID 5 configuration and have not had a single problem. I didn't do a huge test on the 9th drive (it's my spare) but it passed the diagnostics. I'm surprised so many people receive dead drives.

installed easy Formatted easy and fast Rock Solid

Got it running on my synology for plex media!! Running great!! Gets a bit loud but I'm use to it.

Very quiet, fast and reliable

Top notch performance for a spinning disk drive Built a massive 60TB array in just a couple days through USB 3.0 (that's pretty good) These don't seem to be the green drives that can corrupt RAID arrays They do power down by my RAID enclosure's instructions, but power up quickly when commanded to do so One bad drive out of five, but replaced by Newegg with a good one one

Easy setup and easy copying

Sale Price was great These are good drives Own many seagate drive with no issues

I have purchased 7 of the WD RED 3 TB drives to use in Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V. (2 servers). Although Windows Storage Spaces is like a NAS, throughput is a bit slow. When used as a single drive in Windows 8 and 8.1 I get about 135 MB/s throughput.

More storage space

Huge storage that is faster than the 4 TB expansion disks that I bought several years ago.

Good size for a NAS

240+MiB/s sequential write speed while connected to a USB3 dock. Came very well packaged.

-Transfer rates are good - average a little over 200MB/s, drive to drive on the same LSI HBA on Unraid if it matters. -Temperature is good - average 30C in a 20C room during continuous transfer of files, about the same as a 6TB (WD6003FFBX), and about 5C lower than a 10TB (WD102KFBX). Idle temp is ~26C. This drive and comparables are in the same server/array. - Noise is relatively low, about the same as a 6TB and noticeably more quiet than the 10TB. - Cost per TB is good when on sale, very close to the largest 18-22TB rate.

8tb hard drive that works

No Problem with these drives. Plug them in, initialize, format and you're off and running. Great 5 year warranty and high duty cycle are the draws here.

Good capacity and pretty quite even under load.

Small profile, stylish with current monitor setup, no hassle operation... it's pretty much just plug and go.
