WD came up with newer line-up of hard drives "Red" suitable for 24/7 for NAS drives. Since a lot of personal and SOHO NAS was featured in this year's Computex, storage drives made specifically for NAS operations was something that was present in Enterprise Series. Consumer?

I am a novice in IT. I have had four 2-TB Red HDDs in my Synology 411j for the past three or four years. Knock on wood, I have never had a problem. Two months ago, I bought a new Synology 216+ii and put two 3-TB Red HDDs. So far they are working perfectly and I am quite happy.

Bought 4 drives on February 2013. Installed them on Tyan Thunder n3600b (S2927). The board's raid controller (nVidia nForce Pro 3600) could only see them as 1TB drives. So, I bought an LSI Raid controller (PCIe 8x) and they worked 24/7 ever since (4x 3TB in Raid 5 = 9TB Volume unformatted).

- Very high storage capacity/cost value; - Excellent customer support; - Good reliability; - Low power consumption

- Drive performance (5400 rpm

I have been using the hard drives for a few weeks now and I would definately buy more. I currently have 4.

Easy To Install; Fast; Good price; Highly Compatible; Quick; Quiet; Reliable

Dont Have Any Yet

So far so wonderful. But this is a long-distance runner so we'll have to wait.

Very nice website and checkout was excellent. Shipping was almost immediate and the drive arrived in great condition. Looking forward to a happy son--in-law Christmas Morning.

Bought 4 Red's all have been working well so far.

We were most impressed by the excellent service provided by Pixmania. The drives are just what we wanted.

It worked - first time; no issues at all

Nothing to say here

Used one before on my home NAS, which runs 24x7. Good balance between capacity, value, investment, future-proofing. Bought a couple of these for a new NAS system built around the WD 'My Cloud EX4100' for my cousin. Easy set up, low noise, reliable product.

I needed a few high capacity drives for my home file server. Although they are a bit slow in transfer speeds compared to high-spec desktop drives but WD RED series drives claimed to be build with 24/7 operation in mind and TLER feature enabled which is great for home/SOHO file servers.
