Per ora i due HD acquistati funzionano alla grande. Li ho utilizzati in un NAS DS720+ per sostituire i precedenti Plus da 4TB. E' un ottimo prodotto, arrivato integro e ben imballato (a differenza dei precedenti che erano stati spediti nella busta Amazon senza pluriball ed erano arrivati danneggiati).Se devo trovare una pecca sono un po' più rumorosi rispetto ai Plus da 5400 giri.

Valutazione: ★★★★★Recensione: Ho recentemente installato il WD Red Pro da 4TB nel mio NAS e sono rimasto estremamente soddisfatto delle sue prestazioni. Questo hard disk è progettato specificamente per ambienti NAS, offrendo una capacità di 4TB e una velocità di rotazione di 7200 RPM, che garantisce trasferimenti di dati rapidi e un accesso fluido ai file. La sua affidabilità è comprovata, con una garanzia estesa e un supporto premium, assicurando che i dati siano al sicuro e rapidamente accessibili.Pro:Affidabilità: Progettato per operazioni continue, con una garanzia di 5 anni, il che offre molta tranquillità.Prestazioni: La velocità di 7200 RPM consente caricamenti veloci, ideale per streaming di contenuti e accesso a file di grandi dimensioni.Facilità di installazione: Compatibile perfettamente con il mio sistema NAS, l'installazione è stata semplice e senza problemi.Contro:Prezzo: Sebbene il costo sia giustificato dalla qualità, ho trovato che fosse leggermente più elevato rispetto ad altri modelli simili sul mercato.In generale, il WD Red Pro è un'ottima scelta per chi cerca un hard disk NAS affidabile e performante. Lo consiglio vivamente a chiunque abbia bisogno di spazio e velocità senza compromettere la qualità.Nota sulla Tecnologia CMR vs SMR: È importante notare che il WD Red Pro utilizza la tecnologia CMR (Conventional Magnetic Recording), che offre prestazioni superiori rispetto alla tecnologia SMR (Shingled Magnetic Recording). La tecnologia CMR consente una scrittura dei dati più efficiente, rendendo il WD Red Pro ideale per ambienti NAS e RAID, dove le operazioni di scrittura frequenti sono comuni.Spero di esserti stato utile.

Using 2, 4TB drives in a home RAID array for photos, videos, etc. Main drive is an SSD but decided to go with these for bulk storage as they are a bit cheaper (guessing my last time buying HDD's and next time will just use SSD's because they are just so much faster).Drives seems to perform nicely and other than a little HDD noise here and there don't find them bothersome at all. Previously had 2, 2TB of these red drives in a RAID array (had it running for about 8 years) and never had any issues. In our office we have Gold versions of these running on a backup server for about 6 years with no issues. All in all, very reliable. Speed is fine, but obviously not going to compare to SSD.One thing about size of the drives which I see some comments on...The size of the 4TB drive is going to be approximately 4 trillion bytes (mine is 4,000,765,177,856 bytes), however your system will likely report that as 3.64 TB or 3.726 GB. The reason for this is that Windows computes 1GB as equal to 1,073,741,824 bytes and 1TB as equal to 1,099,511,627,776 bytes. These numbers are achieved by raising 2 to an increasingly greater power till you get your first number in the billions and then trillions. There is some technical reason why this is done, but ultimately it is just confusing as it creates 2 different ways of computing size. One, counting the actual number of bytes and the other, dividing your bytes by one of those numbers to get the amount of GB's or TB's. For MB the number Windows uses is 1,048,576 bytes (for example a 20,000,0000 byte file will be reported as 20,000,000 / 1,048,576 = 19.07MB).In any case, here is a summary of the approx drives sizes and around what Windows will report the size as (assuming the drives sizes represent actual bytes exactly, so 4TB for this calculation will be 4,000,000,000 bytes and not the number my computer showed above... so expect the actual numbers to be slightly higher than these):2TB Drive = 1.82TB or 1,862.65GB4TB Drive = 3.64TB or 3,725.29GB6TB Drive = 5.46TB or 5,587.94GB8TB Drive = 7.28TB or 7,450.58GB10TB Drive = 9.09TB or 9,313.23GB20TB Drive = 18.19TB or 18,626.45GBHope this clears up some confusion here.

Perfecto para un Nas en Raid. Reconocido a la primera.Preguntad al vendedor antes de comprarlo. Yo he tenido que devolver uno que llegó sin protección y no inicializaba. Este venía bien protegido.

I have 5 of these in my Drobo5N and none have failed over there years. Originally I had 5 3tb green WD drives. The difference is that my new 6TB WD Red rotates and 7200 RPM instead of the old green drives rotating at 5400 rpm. There is a down side to the red drives. They use more power so now I can hear the 60 hum. I set the NAS so it will spin down the drives when not in use. Also, do not mix 5400 and 7200 rpm drives unless you like to hear a vibration caused by the difference in the frequencies of the drives. Other than the extra noise mixing drives with different rpms is OK.Now that are the drives are 7200 rpm, the NAS is a little bit quieter with only 60 Hz hum.

I now have 3 x 8TB WD Red Pro and 2x 12 TB Red PRo in my Synology DS920+ NASI had 2 running as RAID-1 for several months (3145 hours), I'm now switching to RAID-5 (SHR) with a 3rd drive. They are on the supported list for Synology as "NAS Enterprise" type.On black Friday i bought 1x 12TB for the price of an 8TB. I wanted to buy another one but because Amazon was out of stock I bought the 2nd one straight from WD Online store (same price). The 2nd drive arrived and was DOA. It took almost a month of back and forth with WD support to finally get a replacement drive. On the plus side they gave me free shipping on return, but it was really hard to get them to accept to do an RMA. Anyways, the replacement works fine, all is up and running, I was a bit lucky that this was an additional drive and not a time-critical replacement.Remember that you also need to back-up your NAS even if you have redundant drives (the NAS itself could fail or you could delete the wrong folder - redundantly!). I will try to update this if one starts to fail, hopefully many years from now.

I purchased the 4T version for home PC with a windows operating system. I need this particular HDD because it is listed 7200RPM. I didn't meet any challenge when I installed other WD hard drives. It involved only a few clicks when I switched from WD 1T to 2T months ago, for example. I simply inserted the new disk into a USB case and cloned the entire disk in Minitool participation and got the job done.I was not lucky with this disk. It gave me so much trouble and wasted my two days to figure this out. First, sector size was different from my old 2t WD Blue drive thus I couldn't clone it directly. Because the target drive was not the main OS drive so I decided to simply copy all the folders into the new HDD and switch the two.Then I used Minitool to format it. It refused the command, software reported error. I then tried all other software including the one recommended on WD website (Acronis True Image for Western Digital). I finally got it done by using EaseUS. I formatted it and copied all folders from the old disk and switched it with the old internal disk. When I opened windows, none of the partitions created in EaseUS showed up. HDD showed up in BIOS menu so I knew it was there. I googled answer to this problem, read all articles to educate myself. Checked "Manage disk" in OS and realized one of the partitions was listed as GPT protective partition. I then followed the article published on Seagate website (ironic) and cleaned the entire disk using diskpat command. All data were removed. I returned to day 1.If your partition software doesn't work in Windows, check whether this disk is GPT protective in disk management. Don't repeat my mistake.I am glad I didn't do anything harmful to the old drive thus I spent the second day repeating what I did before, copy and paste. Now the new drive works and it works faster than old WD blue 2T. It is quite noisy but not scary. I am satisfied with the product so far but I hope WD can improve the product to meet various needs from customers. I am not a tech guy but switching HDD shouldn't be so difficult and time-consuming, thus I removed one star (should have been two stars when I felt frustrated yesterday).
