WD Red Pro 20TB NAS 3.5" Internal Hard Drive - 7200 RPM Class, SATA 6 Gb/s, CMR Recording Technology, 512MB Cache

Pricey but good quality.

Bought these for my NAS running Plex. Arrived quick, well packaged. Been monitoring them for a year in constant use and not a single issue. Not really much more you can say.

Not using this drive as a NAS but normal storage on my PC. This drive is quiet and quick and not getting hot in normal use. Easy to setup and format. No problems so far

Fortunately these arrived in a working state, unlike some others. But after months and months of trying to get these to stop making noise every 3-4 secs in a Asustor NAS, it turns out its own self protection is keeping the drive active even when the drive has zero data on it. FYI yes Asustor NAS have issues with SSD caching and Roon App issues which accesses all drives, I have never used or activated either. Wasted +£600 on noisy drives.

As described, arrived early and was securely packed. Not used as yet as I am waiting for a Nas enclosure to expand my network storage. This Hdd comes with a 5yr warranty and the project was the best at the time of purchase.

So, I recently intall the 8tb spinning disk into my home storage server. It's a pretty hefty drive, specifically designed for this kind of continuous operation. I've been testing it out for a while now, and so far, it's been a champ. No weird noises or slowdowns to report. I'm pretty pleased with how it's handling all the data.

If NVMe speed is not the driving factor rather a reliable backup is then these are a good alternative I run 2 of these in a RAID 0 set giving me 32TB of backup space and they are very good, Performance is surprisingly fast and as its just two disks after 4 years I'll mothball these as a backup of that day and pop in two new ones (in 4 years time that's more likely to be SSD). Today though with an inexpensive Enclosure its an inexpensive and reliable backup solution when you need high volume backups. I use these as a fast tertiary backup so Raid 0 is fine. I would never recommend Raid 0 as your only backup option.

Great stuff can’t go wrong with WD NAS
