Review on Western Digital WD Red Plus 1TB hard drive WD10EFRX by Mateusz Marek ᠌

I have been using it for 5 years (almost 21,000 hours). The read / write speed sank to 108 mb / s. Not a single bad or slow sector, the only "health" parameter of 61% is the spin-up time of the spindle, otherwise it is still 100% alive. Slightly audible crunches when reading / copying, but it cannot be called noisy at 5400 rpm, the vibration is moderate. The disk was still of the first revisions, it was powered by high-quality power supplies - perhaps this is the reason for its reliability and stability, but the mechanics still sank. As file storage (movies, backups, installers) is a worthy option.
