I’ve been using four of these WD Red Plus 10TB drives in my home server for over a year now, and they’ve been rock solid. They strike a great balance between price and capacity, making them a smart pick for anyone looking to expand their storage without breaking the bank. These drives are designed for 24/7 use, and it shows—they run quiet, stay cool, and haven’t given me a single issue since installation. The only downside is the lack of middle mounting holes on the sides, which made fitting them into my case a bit finicky, but once installed, they’ve been flawless. If you’re building a NAS or upgrading your server, these are a great choice.

Bought two of these hard drives for my DS224+ NAS. I had a problem when th some miscommunication about availability at my local BestBuy location, but they were finally shipped to my home. Over all a good value.

I picked up this hard drive to use strictly for storing my game library, and it’s been absolutely perfect. The setup was quick, and it was immediately recognized by my PC. It runs quiet, stays cool, and has handled every large game install I’ve thrown at it with no issues. Load times are solid for an HDD, and the storage space is more than enough for all my Steam, Epic, and Rockstar titles. If you’re looking for a reliable and affordable drive to hold your games without worrying about space, this HDD is a great choice. It’s been rock-solid since day one — highly recommend it!
