I ordered these for the Synology DS218+. They’re fast and work great. Setup with the DS218+ was simple.

Bought the package of four, and unbelievably all of them were DOA. Synology NAS couldn’t format any of them, so I ran the WD Data Lifeguard Diagnostics on all of them. All four failed with too many bad sectors. Finally confirmed the status of these drives with a WD technician. No way I’m trusting my data to these drives when they are this bad. Going with the Seagate Ironwolf Pros.

Using this as temporary storage while we build out a NAS for our video team. High quality cheap storage. WD drives have always done well for us.

WD’s Red Pro (7200rpm) Drives are my server/NAS drives of choice and these 6tb have matched my expectations.
Lyric Renner (verified owner) –
Using 16 of these in QNAP Thunderbolt NAS enclosures and they are proving to be fast, consistent and affordable drives. I had one failure shortly after installing the first set of 8. Western Digital has an excellent warranty return system in place, and I received a backup drive in just a couple of days.

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.

This is a great drive! I have 4 (so far) in my QNap TVS-871 in RAID-6. They installed without problem and seem to be working great! Excellent capacity and feature set for the price (the extra cache that comes with the 10TB is nice)! These drives are surprisingly quiet to me (I read other reviews that suggested the opposite, but I don’t really hear much noise at all). Solid drives! Hopefully they will last a long time!

Used these drives for a Synology DS718+ NAS. Things are running great just a few weeks in – totally happy with the whole transaction!

Purchased 6 for my new qnap TS-653B. Installation was very simple. Turned unit on and all 6 drives were recognized. Set up raid and done. I got the Pro versions for the extra mtbf rating and extended warranty over the normal reds. Simply my personal choice. System is very quite with 6 drives in a QNAP TS-653B and the system is installed on a shelf in bedroom.

I purchased this 16TB Hard Drive for my Synology NAS. I needed to expand my storage so I purchased 2 of these and 1 Ironwolf Pro 16TB. I am comparing this against several other drives I have both regular consumer and Enterprise class drives. Heat and Noise: Compared to Regular WD Red 10TB (Helium filled) these run a bit louder and a little hotter, but not as much as Enterprise class equivalents. I would not call them loud but they do make more noise than regular Helium Reds especially during writes. Under read loads they are about the same. After the hard drives arrived I plugged them into an external enclosure and ran a few check to make sure they were all good before trying to deploy them in my NAS. I ran crystalDiskInfo and ran my simple performance check which includes CrystalDiskMark and an 8Gig file copy to the HDD. WD Red Pro 16TB: Seq Read: 266 MB/s, Seq Write 264 MB/s, Copy 259 MB/s Seagate IronWolf Pro 16TB: Seq Read: 278 MB/s, Seq Write 273 MB/s, Copy 80 MB/s Seagate EXOS 18TB: Seq Read: 291 MB/s, Seq Write 282 MB/s, Copy 258 MB/s WD Ultrastar HC550 18TB: Seq Read 269 MB/s, Seq Write 268 MB/s, Copy 274 MB/s WD Red Pro 18TB: Seq Read 267 MB/s, Seq Write 266 MB/s, Copy 260 MB/s WD Red Helium 10TB WD101EFAX: Seq Read 218 MB/s, Seq Write 219 MB/s Speed comparison for reference. This is just a small selection of my hard drives that I have owned and have tested. I am very happy with its performance. Yes I have quite a few HDD’s for primary and backup storage.

Used this drive in an Avastor HDX Pro external Hard Drive Enclosure. It was easy to install and format and has worked very well for the past three weeks at least. Am currently using it for video files with no issues.

Used before RED model was good enough. Decided purchased RED pro model with Synology NAS. worked well after 6 months in one day cannot access to NAS , found that orange color is blinking on status. cannot access to NAS. Tried to recover NAS synology but was fail complain to HDD. quality became worse not suggest to buy Red Pro.

Works great in my Drobo5N

I needed to increase the capacity of my NAS and check the server manufacturer’s compatibility list. The WD 8 TB Red Pro drive were the only Enterprise drives on the list for my NAS. I had been using Seagate drives in the past, but decided to give WD a try. The Pro line comes with a 5-year warranty, which helped seal the deal for me. I installed them one at a time, hot swapped them, to format and mirror the smaller drive already in the system. Once that was complete, I removed the smaller drive and installed the second WD 8 TB Red Pro drive to format, install the operating system and mirror all the files from the first disk. My NAS tells me everything is working fine. It has only been a week, but all seems good.

I’ve had two drives mirror for the last eight months in a NAS and no issues.

Great replacement drive for my NAS. Good price, arrived quickly.
Jaclyn Brekke (verified owner) –
I purchased four of these drives to replace the 4 WD 6TB drives in my Synology DS918+ server. The drives are configured as two 10TB RAID1 drives and max out the capacity of the server. I never experienced any issues with the old drives, which is why I purchased the WD units, I just needed greater capacity. The old drives will find use in another server. The new drives worked perfectly out of the box, and have been running constantly since installation without any issues. I have been, and continue to be, very satisfied with these WD Red Pro drives.

We recently moved and, during that move, my Drobo case, which contained 18TB of hard drives took a nose dive and stopped working…this was all my photos for the entire 21st Century! Luckily, I had everything backed up to Carbonite, but needed to get it back, so I went to B&H’s website, purchased a new Drobo and 3 8TB Drives. I needed the fastest drives I could get, so I ordered these. Since my Drobo is always on, I decided to get the NAS versions. I’m glad I did. My photos have been restoring for less than 2 weeks–I still have a long way to go–but I’m more than happy with this choice and will purchase more as the need arises.
