My office has a 10 year old qnap raid array with 8 drives in a raid10... The wd reds have performed admirably - only 3 drives in the array in that time have needed replacement. My only wish is that the boss would let me buy a full set of new drives at the biggest size... That or just go full NVME raid lol

I threw this in my media server and have had ZERO issues!
It runs quietly even when I’m streaming from it on multiple sources, and 4TB, in my opinion, is the perfect sweet spot for price/GB and time it would take to copy the data to a replacement of one failed.

This is my 3rd or 4th red drive. They all seem to be good quality and I haven't had any issues yet.i think most name brand hdds these days are pretty good and it's just bad luck at this point if one fails in the first year in normal conditions.

I needed a hard drive for my NAS and Best Buy made it easy. I bought a WD Red Plus online for in- store pickup and had it in an hour! It was simple to install and works great.

Installed easy and works as expected. I’ve been using these for years. I tend to get about 8 trouble free years out of one of these in RAID1. Then they temd to fail. But then you pull the bad one out and drop a new ine in and keep on going.

I’m using these in my NAS and they fit the bill just fine. If you’re building a NAS either yourself or a prebuilt chassis I’d recommend picking up an SSD for caching as well.

Perfect drive for a NAS setup homelands thst I’m setting up. Very reliable and would recommend for anyone looking for adding more storage to their network.

My previous 2TB WD Red was getting a bit full, so I upgraded to double the capacity. Don't have a NAS system, but this is fine of long-term bulk storage.

They are great so far, used them to expand my NAS. Perform as expected. Came with mounting screws which saved me time digging through draws trying to fine the ones for my case.

Installed the 4TB Red Plus as a "workhorse" drive in a new system that came with a 512GB SSD & a 2TB HDD. The "5 Star" rating is based on Technology & Expectation (that is, the Expectation - or hope - that it does not die an early death!).
The technology appeal was that the Red Plus uses CMR for writes, which should be faster & offer greater life than the more common (at lower prices) SMR tech.
Accordingly, am using the Red Plus (primarily) to house files that are frequently re-written, reserving the "oem" SMR drive for "static" files - and keeping the SSD strictly for Windows / Applications.
Best Buy had a competitive price on the Red Plus, with same day in-store pick-up, and we prefer to buy "locally" whenever feasible.
