I recently added the Western Digital 14TB WD Red Pro NAS Internal Hard Drive to my home NAS system, and it has proven to be a stellar addition to my storage setup. The drive lives up to the "Pro" in its name, providing reliable performance and ample storage capacity for my needs. First and foremost, the drive itself operates quietly, a feature that is appreciated in any home setup. While the housing I chose for the drive could use a bit of improvement, the internal workings of the WD Red Pro drive are where it truly shines. It seamlessly integrates into my NAS system, delivering consistent and efficient performance. Setting up a home NAS system with these drives was a breeze, even for someone with basic knowledge of storage systems. The user-friendly nature of the WD Red Pro series makes it accessible for those looking to establish emergency backups for crucial family information or simply expand their storage capabilities. Having opted for a total of 4 drives for my NAS, the storage capacity has proven more than sufficient for my data needs. The reliability and consistency of WD drives have been a constant in all my systems over the years, and the WD Red Pro series is no exception. It's a trusted brand that excels in the field of storage solutions. In conclusion, the Western Digital 14TB WD Red Pro NAS Internal Hard Drive is an excellent choice for anyone seeking a high-capacity, reliable storage solution. With the ease of setup and the brand's proven track record for quality products, it's a solid investment for both enthusiasts and those looking to secure their family's crucial information. I highly recommend WD Red Pro drives for anyone in need of professional-grade storage performance.

I had to replace 4 x 4TB WD Red Pros - they were almost 8 years old, in constant service, and one of them started to show reallocated sectors, so time to go. My only choice for all NAS HDDs, both at home and work are WD Red Pros. They're more expensive, perform well, and rarely if ever fail. I considered switching to Seagate Iron Wolf, but they weren't available, and in the end, the WD Red Pros were about the same price, with known reliability. My one minor gripe, and this likely isn't unique to WD: I appreciate the thought of including drive screws with the drives, but for NAS drives in particular, why did you include screws that have no hope of ever fitting into a NAS, which likely will use hot-swap trays? (Fat, round-head screws). Fortunately, in my case, my NAS (QNAP) came with a plethora of drive screws, including low-profile flat head screws of the correct threading.

These took under a minute each to install into my Synology DS920+ NAS. Since it was all new gear, I let it do a through drive check as part of initializing which took a long time. I think it may ave been about two days. In theory, I could have used it during this time, but I just started it and ignored it. During installation, the 920 whines about any accessories (memory, drives) that aren't Synology's own and that included these. On the 922, they change from whining to much more obnoxious contrived incompatibilities, but this combination was chosen because exactly once, during insteallation, it warns you that its not a supported combination and that's that. Probably if there were a support issue involving data loss, they'd remind you of that oath you took to not complain, but in reality this is a very common combination that works quite well. Fan and normal noise is quite minimal. There was a noticeable clunk during a head seek. I reduced this by offlining the unit so I could remove power then applying the fuzzy half of a hook-and-loop fastener to the bottom of the bottom rail. That gave it support and a little bit of padding so the metal cage didn't serve as a drum skin for the oh-so-tiny motion that got amplified when transferred to the sheet metal. I'm looking forward to getting many, many years from these drives, like I did from the 4TB WD these are replacing. Those drives have no reading errors. Size grows and no drives are infallible, so I opted to replace them on my schedule (OK, and on Amazon Day special. :-) ) instead of letting the drive pick its own replacement day, taking my data with it.

J'avais commandé deux pièces et je les ai reçues très rapidement. Elles étaient bien emballées chacune dans une boîte d'origine de vente au détail. Je recommande ce produit pour installer dans un système RAID (NAS ou ordinateur avec un contrôleur RAID).
