    Ordered a new NAS, got two of these to go along with it. Everything installed easily enough, no issues so far with the drives (about 3 weeks in so far).

    WD Red drives are the best out there for constant load and performance. 8TB will let me record in my UDM Pro for days and days.

    For the price this was the best option for mass storage. I got 2 of these in a RAID and they are working great. They are no loud at all.

    I bought a pair of these to expand the capacity of my readynas. They were recognized and installed without any problems. For those of you who are questioning WD Red drives over the SMR debacle, The Red Plus and the Red Pro are CMR drives. Overall I am pleased with the performance of these drives.

    Industry Standard with Servers or NAS

    Industry standard in any server or NAS setup. One of the best independently rated drives on the market. Of course always do a burn in when getting one. Even after a burn in over the past 12 years I've never had to send one in for an RMA. Also Bestbuy has them at a fraction of the cost of Amazon so...

    Excelent Choice for NAS Storage

    Wish I could have afforded the 16TB, but this was actually the only one they had in store. But a great HD for my NAS. I can only hope it lasts longer than it is expected to as these are not things I want to buy every other year.

    This is a great NAS drive, and I use it unRaid. Whenever I buy a new one - I put it in a my parity drive, and rotate the previous parity drive into the array as a data drive in the array (thus keeping my newest and most reliable as my Parity drive which gets hit every time data is sent to the array.
