Western Digital’s 7200RPM class drives are priced high, they’ve stood right by me as a customer for a long time which is why I’m willing to pay a premium for their drives, but it’s still a hard pill to swallow. Across the 30+ WD drives I’ve owned I’ve had only 1 fail on me, which they replaced under warranty. This is many magnitudes better than my experience with other big Hard Drive manufacturers where I’ve had much higher failure rates. For that reason and that reason alone I’ll continue to buy WD drives until they give me reason to reevaluate.

Great specs. Very quiet. Using them in a raid, works as advertised.
Kareem Nitzsche (verified owner) –
No issues so far. It’s being used to run a Plex Media Server. It’s a little noisier than the 1TB that was in previously, that’s my only complaint. It was easy to install and came packaged very well from B&H.

I ended up cancelling this order and going with the larger 6TB drives instead.

Easy to install

I purchased two of these for my new NAS, and they are working fine. A bit noisy when they are writing data, but that’s not an issue as the NAS sits on a shelf behind me, not on my desk.

I have used several brands, and I trust my critical workloads to WD. These drives perform really well, and I have never had one fail. This is my go to drive for home and enterprise use.
Carley Bailey (verified owner) –
This is my first WD 8TB. Friends and good reviews enticed me to go with this drive. Its still early but so far Im satisfied. The shipping from B&H was fast.
Lucas Kunze (verified owner) –
Genuine and everything was great! Best prices!
Troy Bruen (verified owner) –
I own many of these drives. Three factors important for me include the 5 year warranty, 7200 RPM and 64MB cache. I’ve given up on many of the other name brand manufactures and will only buy the WD Red Pro to house my data in any multi drive format solution.

Great product, highly recommended.
Edwin Jacobi (verified owner) –
Just what I needed to change an aging computer into a Linux powered NAS. It’s a little noisy, and seems to make a random clunk noise every 15 seconds, but this is exactly the same as the other 3 RED drives I own, so I don’t think it’s a problem with the drive.
Vicky Cole (verified owner) –
This is the second one I have purchased for my NAS system. Great quality and compatability .
Michel Abshire (verified owner) –
Worked with not a single problem in my new Nas. Just plugged it in and off I went!
Peyton Beier (verified owner) –
I swapped out 3TB Red drives for these 10TB Red pro drives. The traditional red drives were quieter but also slower (5400RPM vs 7200RPM). I went into the purchase knowing the pro drives would be noisier, and I was good with the decision. The storage space, speed, and warranty all make it a good choice.
Jefferey Sauer (verified owner) –
Works as expected.
Kiera Okuneva (verified owner) –
Using 5 of these drives in a Drobo 5DT storage unit using RAID 5. Installed easily and all 5 worked right out of the box, and they run very quietly. Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that they are expensive.
Leonora Ritchie (verified owner) –
I use these in my Synology NAS, and they keep up with whatever’s thrown at them so far. Timely delivery, well-packaged product, works how I need it to.

I initially purchased 8 of these for my Sinology NAS. However, after the fact, I became concerned that they might add significant ambient noise to my environment. So, I returned all 8, and re-purchased only 1 of them to get a feeling for how loud they might be. As it turns out, the one drive is only slightly louder than the standard Western Digital Red NAS drives I currently have installed. The Red Pro drive is more chatty during read/write operations, but I can definitely live with it. It’s a fair compromise, considering the Red Pro provides 7200 RPM versus the Red at 5400 RPM. When I upgrade my Sinology NAS to a a 2015 model, I’ll definitely go with the Red Pro over the standard Red NAS drives.
