Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Red series by Western Digital has been fantastic in my Media Server. I have 8 2 TB drives in it, and I have been running ZFS in a RAIDZ-2 configuration without a hitch for some months. Several of the drives have been in the server for over a year, and not a single error has occurred. Since they support TLER, these drives are great for RAID arrays (both software and hardware).

I have a 2 bay NAS which I use for a backup of pictures. I wanted a drive big enough so I wouldn't have to worry about space for a long time. So far these drive have preformed great.

I purchased 3 of these drives for use in a home NAS (DROBO5N). BBY had them on sale and it was a great price. The drives have been awesome and no problems. It was so easy to set them up. I also did some research and these WD Red drives got great reviews in the tech blogs as very reliable for NAS use.

I have several of these running my NAS Storage. They work great and are the go to for me when I expand my storage. I mainly store media on them and stream from it to my network and it work well

I have purchased 7 of these between two Lenovo Ts440 Servers, one is for a replacement. So far they have all been performing just fine. I have had no issues and I would recommend these drives, Western Digital does have a new version out now.

2 TB for the price of $84.99 It was a great deal during this time but price might have went up. 2 TB is decent amount of space. If you do a lot of video editing and Fraps recording, I would suggest you get a bigger space, I'd say a 4TB.

I purchased 3 of these to use in. Qnap nas. I chose WD red due to their reputation of reliability. I have had a few WD red drive in other devices and they have all held up without issues. So far so good on all 3 drives. I trust my content living on these drives.

Fast despite being an energy efficient drive. Best buy shipped the drive securely while other retailers online fail in this. Another great WD product.

Was pleasantly surprised to find that Best Buy's sale price on the hard drive was lower than many popular computer hardware retailers. These hard drives are great for a DIY home NAS build.

Bought 3 for my new QNAP NAS. Recommended by QNAP and they're working flawlessly since I got them about a month ago. I'll definitely buy more when I need NAS drives

Great drive for my purposes. I replaced a WD Green drive with this one for media storage and streaming. Has been working great.

Seems like fast access and if like my other WD Red drives, it should be reliable. Nothing but positive at this point!

Highly recommend! My many years of daily use attest to the reliability of these drives.

I used to always buy only WD Green drives, but with those phased out, I gave Red a try and have been pleased thus far.

I prefer multiple small drives instead of one big one. It's quicker to recover from failure and a bit cheaper. I've got three running strong for 3yrs 24/7 and just added two more. No regrets with these drives.

Does what it’s supposed to based on the description.

I’ve been using these drives for several years with my Synology NAS Backup Server. They are super stable and the Synology support team is nothing short of amazing. I hope Best Buy continues to stock these products.

I purchased 2 of these recently to replace 2 1TB WD Green drives that had over 9 Years of actual up time on them. I already had 2 of these 2TB Red drives in my home server set up as RAID 1 Mirror and I couldn't be happier. No they are not performance drives, No you shouldn't put them in your primary PC for playing games and booting from, but if you are looking for good long term storage / file server drives then these work great.

This is my second time purchasing WD red drives for my Drobo (NAS). I was running low on space, so I hot swapped in two 2 TB drives in place of the old 500 GB ones. Transition was painless. The other 3 drives in my NAS have been 1 TB WD reds, and it has been running non-stop for the better part of 6 years without a drive failure... Knock on wood...

Got a good deal. BB price match with Amazon. No problems with my NAS.
