  • Usage

    NAS

    Disks for use in NAS (Network-Attached Storage) systems that provide access to data from all devices on a network. They are designed for continuous operation with other such disks in RAID configurations to protect data from failures.

  • Communication Protocol

    Hard drives communicate with the computer through a protocol.

    There are two protocols for HDD hard drives, SATA (for simple use) and SAS (high reliability for corporate use).

    SATA III

    A modern hard disk connection standard that offers twice the maximum speed compared to SATA II.

    The majority of hard disks use this standard.

    The motherboard must support it for the disk to operate at its maximum potential.

  • Cache Size

    Intermediate temporary memory between the disk and the computer, allowing the hard disk to provide faster and more immediate access to data. It does not have any particular benefit for the average user.

  • Form Factor

    The size of the HDD hard drive.

    3.5

    The classic size of a desktop computer hard disk drive (HDD).

  • Rotation Speed

    The most important feature along with capacity is that the faster the rotation speed of a hard disk, the faster the access and storage of data it can provide.

    5400

    The slowest hard disk drives (HDD) are typically used for storing large volumes of data that are not frequently accessed (e.g. for backups). They are not recommended for installing programs and games.

Description

Description

Operates with the SATA III communication protocol and is recommended for home use. It is the most modern SATA standard and the motherboard must support it for the drive to function at its maximum potential. It can also be connected to SATA II ports without any problem, but it will work at lower speeds.

For installation in a desktop computer, you will need a SATA III data cable and an available SATA port on the motherboard. You will also need an available power supply cable for a SATA device from the power supply unit.

    So far (3 months of use on a Synology NAS), it is fast and quiet. It did not have any factory defects, nor has it shown any bad sectors yet. It is currently about 30% full and the read/write speeds remain close to nominal. I write/rewrite approximately 2.5 TB of backup data to it three times a week. I usually store medium-sized files (350 - 500 MB). It seems that its technology (CMR) is significantly better than previous WD models (comparing it to 3 4TB and 2 2TB drives from the same company that I have been using for backup and redundant on-site storage for several years). I recommend it for NAS use.

    So far, 6 WD RED NAS, relatively slow but reliable so far. Most of them have been operating for over five years without any particular issues.

    The hard drive is CMR technology so prefer it with closed eyes for disk arrays.
