Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have a small RAID using two pair of mirrored disks connected to an iMac for TimeMachine backups. So far these disks have performed well. My software shows no flags or slowdowns caused by the mirroring. And the hourly backups are all up to date. They meet my needs. I put them in service in mid November 2021.

I had a drive failure on my NAS with RAID that was storing my wife's photos. Luckily, my local BB had this drive in stock so I could immediately rebuild the drive. These drives are excellent and come highly recommended for NAS drives.

Needed a drive to address a failing NAS unit drive, this did the trick and is still functioning so far... Wished that is had a longer warranty as I hope this will last as long as the other drives that I have used in the past (usually 5-6 years). Guess we'll find out... Not too bad of a price considering that I needed it one really quick, glad Best Buy had it in stock for immediate pickup.

The NAS drive for you. This purchase is my 3rd one of this particular drive vintage. I currently have about 40tb of total storage. Including the other 2, 32 of that is this particular drive on a TNAS F220 NAS drive.

Bought this for a NAS I’m building as a Home media center so I can store my movies and files. So far so good no issues with it yet. I’ll follow it up in a few months to see it’s holding up.

I have put a 4 of these drives through heavy use over the past few years with no issue. I didn't hesitate to by these Reds again when the time came to expand my storage.

I have had nothing but success with Western Digital drives and that continues with the WD Red Plus. This drive is serving as primary storage in a Synology NAS for a Plex Server and it's doing a fine job. Highly recommended.

Had been using WD products for my NAS for over 5 years now. They are still reliable but don't expect them to last forever. I always try to make 2 or 3 back-up copies of my files that are important.

Very fast drive and a great price for 8tb of storage. I had an external drive that was starting to clunk and fail SMART tests. This popped right in and was super easy to use and did i mention FAST.

Purchased a WD NAS system a few years ago with two 8TB Red Hard Drives. One finally went bad and exact match is no longer made by WD so I purchased two new WD Red Plus drives from Best Buy and they work great. Love these hard drives and the NAS system. I use RAID 1 in which one hard drive mirrors the other. Thus, redundancy ensures I do not lose my material as the odds of two drives going bad at once are very slim. Here is a tip for you. Using RAID 1 in this NAS system, the two hard drives must be exactly the same, i.e. same specs. They must be "compatible" to show "good" on the NAS system.

Using this drive for a PLEX media server and has been the best addition to the stack. All new movies go on here and serve up with no issues at all. LOVE using it!

Read online reviews so i decided to try them, so far so good! Plus i got them on sale!! I went for the wyi ker speeds and durability

I needed good reliable replacement drive in a hurry for my synology NAS and this fit the bill

It was on Sale and i jumped on it it's the biggest hard drive i've ever owned and the red series is designed for constant hard duty my first red was a 4tb

So far the drives seem solid. They are very quiet and the access time doesn't seem to be an issue. I've purchased 4 of these so far to put into my Synology 1621+ NAS.

Excellent experience with the WD Red for NAS. Usually change out at 45-50k hours so do not know if they will last 100K hours. Good performance at a reasonable cost.

Excellent storage. I bought 2 for my home server and they work very good so far. I bought them last month so I will update the review in the future.

Absolutely love Western Digital products. With the exception of their recent debacle over SMR vs CMR drives I've never been disappointed by the warranty, performance and capacity.

Drive was added to my NAS setup; so far it's working and functioning fine; no complaint; purchased at the time $197.99 for 8TB

Competitively priced. Bought to replace a failing hard drive and had no problems transferring 6TB of data onto it.
