plugged in, has worked for the past two weeks. No overt warnings about excessive bad sectors

Reliable Cost-effective only when on sale. Runs cool.

-Transfer rates are good - average a little over 200MB/s, drive to drive on the same LSI HBA on Unraid if it matters. -Temperature is good - average 30C in a 20C room during continuous transfer of files, about the same as a 6TB (WD6003FFBX), and about 5C lower than a 10TB (WD102KFBX). Idle temp is ~26C. This drive and comparables are in the same server/array. - Noise is relatively low, about the same as a 6TB and noticeably more quiet than the 10TB. - Cost per TB is good when on sale, very close to the largest 18-22TB rate.

- An awesome amount of storage for the money spent - Outstanding performance for a mechanical device

I purchased 4 of the Western Digital 6TB Red hard drives to put in a Synology DS415+ NAS. Each drive gives you about 5.46TB of useable space, I set them up in RAID5 for the NAS. They seem to be very quiet and run at a low temp of @28 - 30C

I would recommend this product to anyone who need a lot of storage space and response from their drive.

Installed in a As1104T NAS. Installation was simple and the drive has performed well. Its quiet in Operations and, so far, has had no problems in use across the network. Newegg has been a recent "go to" for my network storage needs.

I just works, like you expect it to. Their larger sizes, like this one, are a little quicker, are CMR (I think) and, by reputation, highly reliable. I guess NAS Red ones and such even better, don't know, didn't need. Was good price. Comes with some basic version of well-regarded Asconic SW, haven;t used it.

Name Brand, only 1 drive has failed in the last 4 years out of 150-200 drives installed. Def recommend.

For Synology NAS users, the Synology brand drives means easier adoption, less headaches and fewer notifications. The extra small pennies/gb price per GB over other enterprise drives with worth it. No need to worry about compatibility with many features of DSM 7.1

By MB, the cheapest and reliable HD in the market Will last many years of constant use

Speed 250 MBytes + per sec. Reliable just as WD Black HDD are. So far so good after 1 month.

Lots of storage, ease of install

These WD HDD's are for my security system servers and they usually last five to eight years. I prefer to buy from Newegg because I still remember they were the first company to really step up the game, and send my stuff the very next day as promised. Way before am zon, who is just out to put the other guy out of business. Newegg never has sent me junk parts, and has always been my PC parts shipper choice.

Does what it's supposed to do. Simple Installation.


Great storage size for the price. Using it now for periodic offline backups. Sustained backup speeds still at 200 MB/s after a month of use. I did place this drive in a USB 10 Gbps external enclosure which shouldn't be a bottleneck for the transfer speeds (but you may see better performance directly on a SATA interface)

Seems well built Passed all tests Quiet Low Power
