Performance isn't the greatest although it's not bad but this drive is designed for NAS use 24 hours a day and it does that job with total reliability. I have had 5 of these disks in my NAS now for 2 years and had no failures at all. Prior to that I used (brand new) Seagate Barracudas, every one of them failed within 2 years - a 100% failure rate - so now I only buy WD Red for NAS use and I will never again buy a Seagate disk.

I have built a NAS server using Freenas, an HP microserver and now 4 WD40EFRX, configured as (in raid terms) a striped Raid configuration. 4 * 4TB delivers 12 TB storage. All works well and quietly in the background - its not even housed in the main house to avoid the obvious problem of all in the same place, so the quiet assessment is a little tongue in cheek - id only know if they were REALLY noisy. The server sits there doing its thing 24 hours a day - great job, and I have had no problems with the WD RED disks, two of which were purchased as used,

Very reliable drives. WD red drives with nasware 3 are optimised for up 8 drives. they are quick and reliable. i have been using red drives for 7 years now and these are an update for me. they are reliable fast drives.

Bought to upgrade a 2TB drive that was close to full. Once formatted (GPT) immediately recognised and a seamless reinstallation was completed without issue. as a NAS certified drive it achieves the highest reliability ratings.

Received the drives very quickly; fitted into NAS and worked perfectly. No errors found on disk. Highly recommended.
