WD - NAS 6TB Internal SATA NAS Hard Drive for Desktops
- Key Specs
- Storage Capacity: 6000 gigabytes (Measured in megabytes (MB), gigabytes (GB) and terabytes (TB), this is the amount available for storing files, music, movies, photos and more. The total includes the capacity of the hard disk drive and solid state drive if both are included on the computer.)
- Storage Drive Type: HDD (Traditional, mechanical hard disk drives are the most common type of storage because they're relatively inexpensive and offer huge capacities. However, they also generate both noise and heat. Solid state drives, also known as SSDs, are many times faster than hard disk drives and have no moving parts to wear out, but typically offer less capacity for the same price.)
- Rotational Speed: 5400 revolutions per minute (The rate at which the hard drive spins its platters. The higher the rotational speed, the faster the drive can read and write data.)
- Interface(s): SATA (Refers to the types of connections that devices use to interact and communicate with each other.)

Q: Will this drive work on a synology ds1515? Thank you.
A: Yes they work in Synology NAS models. The literature, or documentation, recommends WD Reds. I have the DS1515+ model. I bought these HDDs back in 2015 and are still running today (24x7)! I maxed the DS1515+ out with 5 - 6TB WD Reds.

Q: Would these work with a Synology DS415+?
A: To answer my own question, yes.
A: No. The sticker says WD Reds. These HDDs are rated to spin slower at 5400 rpm vs the 7200 rpm. They were designed for 24x7 operations where it's more energy efficient and quieter.
