Q: Questionis is compatible with dell 3455 all in one desktop

Asked 3 years ago by Mohamad.

• A:Answer Hi Mohamad, Please be informed that packed with power to handle the small- to medium-sized business NAS environments and increased workloads for SOHO customers, WD Red Plus is ideal for archiving and sharing, as well as RAID array rebuilding on systems using ZFS and other file systems. We recommend to​​​​​​​ check with the host device vendor whether drive will fit and support the device.

Q: QuestionIs this compatible with a Synology DS220+?

Asked 5 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer Technically, yes it can be supported. The real answer is a little trickier--This is the version I have and the firmware it uses: NAS 3.5" SATA HDD Western Digital Red Plus WD40EFZX - 68AWUN0 81.00B81 4TB However, there is the possibility that the WD firmware for new drives may be updated at some point. Here's where Synology lists their drive support: https://www.synology.com/en-us/compatibility?search_by=products&model=DS220%2B&category=hdds_no_ssd_trim&filter_brand=Western%20Digital&p=1&change_log_p=1

Q: QuestionWhat is the cache of the [WD BAVV 0040 HNC-WRSN]. Is it 64GB or 128GB ??? WD spec sheet specifies 128GB. When answering please use the model number NOT the series number WD40EFRX. WD is playing a monte shell game, obfuscating the real specifications.

Asked 4 years ago by Snapshot.

• A:Answer It isn’t. XxxFRX vs xxxFAX was the only obsfucation they tried with the red series. Otherwise cosistent with WD red.

Asked 5 years ago by PwrSpecs.
