📁 WD 4TB Red Plus NAS Internal Hard Drive - 5400 RPM, SATA 6 Gb/s, CMR, 64 MB Cache, 3.5" - WD40EFRX by Western Digital Review

The green 3tb series, the red 4tb, the black 1tb, the blue variations, and the two external passports are among my favorite WD products. Problems were only with the Seagate (there were three disks, all of which failed fairly quickly; there was one Toshiba in the laptop, but the shock sensor there repeatedly worked; problems were mechanical in nature).

3 stars, not 1y, only for the excellent work of , yesterday I handed over to the point of issue / reception, today the money was returned.

Not a fan of WD, but most of the drives I've had are WD, many have worked for me for 3-5 years in 24/7 mode without problems and bad blocks, even everyone's unloved WD Green (now Blue).

A similar hard drive (WD Red 3Tb) has been working flawlessly for over 7 years. Tests so far show excellent results, the disc is in great shape. With this instance, too, no problems have happened for 3 months. An important point is that WD Red Plus is a full-fledged analogue of the old WD Red with CMR. The new WD Reds feature tiled SMR recording technology. You can read about this in detail on the Internet.

Has some pros: packed well, the blister is closed everything on time like a whole Cons: one of the discs has a 21 year warranty for half a year on the site left. You can say illiquid

The previous WD of the Green series worked in the NAS for more than 10 years in 24x7 mode and recently died abruptly. I hope the Red series specially designed for NAS will be no less tenacious.
