Using in my Synology Diskstation. Dependable and have lasted a long time. B&H price much better than Amazon.

This disk merely replaces a failed disk and is a direct drop-in replacement.
Alicia Huel (verified owner) –
Our Synology NAS is working well with these drives. No problems with them.
Oleta Klocko (verified owner) –
The HD makes metal clicking noises as it’s working. I particularly noticed it while writing onto it.

If you are concerned about speed and the reliability of your data, then the Pro series is the one to buy. Per an article that was verified with both Western Digital and Seagate, for their non-pro lines they are using a recording scheme that write not only to the track being used, but the track above and below to squeeze more data onto a drive.

Excellent performing drives over both of my NAS systems. Quiet, reliable.
Camron Carroll (verified owner) –
I bought it for the reputation of being reliable and the 5 year warranty. Bought a couple white label drives (@) and both died within a day.
Hollis Hickle (verified owner) –
Both drives were making noise and detected as not working by DROBO they were supposed to work with and by HP computer – when I tried to use them as the second hard drive. looking for ways to return or exchange them

I needed a replacement drive for my Drobo. The existing 500 Gb drive was old and was giving signs of failing. Most of my NAS drives have been Western Digital, so I went for this one. The price was good for a 7,200 RPM CRM drive. Seems to be working well. Time will tell, but I have had good luck with WD drives so far. I would definitely buy from B&H, because some of the other vendor’s do sell drives that have been sitting on the shelf for some time. This drive date of manufacture was 06/14/2021.

I used these drives to upgrade my Synology NAS and it went without any problems. The drives are working as expected and are relatively quiet. I looked at all the specials on all the other drives and decided that the reputation of WD drives was worth the extra money. I have used WD drives for years and have excellent experience with them.

These are very impressive HDDs that operate at 7.200 RPM and remain cool. Cool operating temperatures promote HDD life!
Anthony Funk (verified owner) –
Installed in Synology DiskStation Ds1418+. They have been working well so far.

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.

Worked with not a single problem in my new Nas. Just plugged it in and off I went!

Very useful, professional HDD

I recently purchased a NAS system and loaded it up with these drives. These drives are quiet and stable, and my NAS has been running perfectly since I installed everything and backed up all my files to it; I couldn’t be happier. Highly recommend these drives!

First off, fast and safe shipping from B&H! I am slowly upgrading the storage capacity in my Drobo 5N (also purchased from B&H years ago). There are a couple of things to note if you will be doing the same: – My original config was 5 x 4TB drives, and I recently started running low on free space. If you want to increase capacity, and all current drives are the same size, you will have to replace TWO drives as mentioned here: http://dashboardhelp.drobo.com/guide/250/en/5N_Adding_Capacity_or_Drives.htm. – At the time my 5N was originally configured, the firmware only supported 16TB total volume size. That said, after replacing 2 of the existing 4TB drives with 2 10TB drives, I was left with unallocated space, which could not be utilized. The only way to take advantage of the added space was to factory-restore the 5N after updating to the latest firmware (which now supports 64TB max volume size). As my 5N is used purely for backup, it wasn’t a problem factory-restoring and copying everything over again. Otherwise, you will need to back up everything on the Drobo before restoring.

I wanted to upgrade my 2 4T WD Red Pro NAS HDD to 2 WD 10T Red Pro. I didn’t want to lose my data along the way. I read the instructions, I sent a note to Synology Customer Care, and I looked it up on the internet. They all said the same thing. But, I was leary. After replacing the first drive, it still showed 4T drive space. Only after the second drive was replaced did the NAS system show 10T drive space. What a relief. Love my Synology NAS that I got from BHPhoto for Christmas and I wouldn’t use anything other than WD Red Pro HDD’s in it. Hopefully, I am now set for a long time. I have 30 years of data and way too many photos. But, I doubt I’ll still be around in another 30 years, so I have faith this will do me.

I’ve been using WD Red series HDDs for almost 10 years on my NAS units and have been very happy with the performance and reliability. When I received a report that one of the 4 drives was dying after almost 10 years, it made sense to install the latest version of WD Red. As I expected, I slipped it into it slot and it booted right up and was at home immediately with the other disks in my RAID 5. I would recommend this product to anyone needing a very reliable drive with an excellent operational life.
