I have installed 35 of these as of this review.Out of the 35 I haven't had a single DOA Drive or one fail yet. The Oldest is now about 6 months old and I have no bad sectors or other issues with the drive...I utilize them as Storage drives in Media Center PCs and they are low enough power that you can put multiple drives in a relatively low power setup without taxing your power supply. These are not completely silent drives but even under heavy read/write loads they are barely audible in an HTPC case.If you are looking for a 24/7 rated Hard Drive (If you are using a NAS system or an HTPC you absolutely are) This is a great choice, cheaper but just as reliable as the enterprise and black level drives but much cheaper overall.They are a great addition to any Media PC and I would recommend them to add a significant amount of storage at decent cost.I've been racking my brain to find a con, but honestly Price is the only remotely down side I can find, and that's not really bad considering it's half the cost of enterprise drives...I would recommend these Drives for any storage application, get rid of the consumer level drives and get these, they are basically enterprise quality at near consumer prices...Just my thoughts.

I've been quite happy with these drives, so far, in a Synology DiskStation 5-Bay (Diskless) Network Attached Storage (DS1512+) . As the review for this item from Gary E. Peterson (referencing a review from pcper.com) says, regular consumer grade drives in RAID are an accident waiting to happen. Much less so with these drives, which are designed specifically for use in home NAS (specifically, TLER and the fact that they are designed to be on 24/7...). Now, as far as quality control is concerned, of the 3 drives I ordered, 1 of the three threw some S.M.A.R.T. test errors, so I RMA'ed the drive; the other two, and the replacement have all had no problems. I get adequate speed from the drives (I'm seeing transfer speeds of 500-640 or so mbps over gigabit ethernet) in a raid 5 (shr) setup on the Synology. It's a sweet setup, and someday I'll probably add two more of these drives...A brand new drive throwing errors, and hence needing replacement, makes me knock the review down to 4/5 stars.As a side note, my purchasing experience (in August 2012) wasn't the best for this product (WD30EFRX); it seems that it's been pretty hard for reputable sellers to keep sufficient stock of this drive (1 of the 3 drives I ended with is from Amazon Prime, but the others were from Amazon marketplace sellers). Some Amazon marketplace sellers (in my case ANTonline) were perfectly willing to call an item "In Stock" when they apparently only thought that they could get them in time to make their estimated shipping time. This is unacceptable, and this cost me time (waiting 5 days for the order to be shipped) during which a different reputable seller may have actually delivered the product had I ordered it during this time... Eventually, the Amazon seller MWave (3 drives, one of which was bad) and Amazon prime (for the final drive) came through for me.

I bought these disks, even though they are officially only recommended for smaller NAS enclosures (up to 5 disks, if I am not mistaken). even though these disks were about 5-10% more expensive than the slightly faster rated Barracudas.As speed was not my top selection criterion, I was willing to be flexible, in favor of quiet operations, and a more NAS aware behaviour of the disks. Well... In terms of speed... These 8 disks are running 10 inches from my ear, and while I do hear car doors close at the other end of the street, I don't hear these disks, even when running at operational speeds.Moreover these disks (as opposed to the Barracudas) have a variable spindle speed, which means that they can idle down when the NAS detects no activity is needed.BUT... I must say, even the speed amazes me. I do uncompressed non-linear video editing, and the rendering speed of the effects is near instantaneous, offering me all the speed I could ever need.These disks are amazing thus far, and if the reliability keeps up, I would be a repeat buyer anytime, that is, until pricing of nearline disks would come to within 15% of them.I would recommend these disks to anyone looking for NAS optimized disks with great performance and reliability, and quiet operation and idle noise levels.

I have it installed in a server tower, with a mix of other drives to include WD Green drives. The Red drive performs as well as any other drive and the drive temperature is lower than surrounding drives, which was one reason I purchased this drive.So far, so good. As I slowly upgrade or replace my current drives with Red drives I will try and come back and report again.UPDATED: 7 JAN 2013Failed! WHS said it was missing, I took out the drive. Re-installed, tried another cable/power connector, took it out and plugged it into a win 7 box, files came up for a moment then dropped. Drive is sort of seen in drive manager but states that it is not ready. Ran Spinrite 6.0, couldn't see it.Downloaded WD Data Lifeguard Diagnostic for Windows, it stated that it failed due too to many bad sectors detected. I have been a long, long time shopper of WD drives and their media boxes. I was very surprised that it failed and so soon too, since these Red drives are supposed to be tougher, longer lasting, quieter, and cooler than the 5 green drives I have had for years. Not so sure about that...So I will be trying to recover any data I can for a bit but more than likely it is gone, had about half the drive duped using stablebit butnot sure which files...I guess I will find out soon.I am not saying stay away from WD, this is the first drive that I have had fail as far back as I can remember. Even so, every company makes mistakes, I will give them the benefit of the doubt but we will see how customer support works out.

WD Red 3 TB NAS Hard Drive: 3.5 Inch, SATA III, 64 MB Cache - WD30EFRXThis Drive is awesome with error correction runs a cool 95-110 Degrees F. Also has twice the life hours of the WD Green that just a short time ago was the best on the market for the price.. Now WD Red for the price and Life, this by far is your best investmentif you have stuff on your computer you really care about.. The Error Correction alone was the Part that I care'd about the most.. I do not USE NAS or RAID .. they say in reviews if you do not use a NAS or RAID, this drive is not worth the extra money! I have to Disagree Strongly here. If you have Data On your Computer that you cannot lose and you cannot spend the big ($) Money for the Solid State Drives (Besides they are still much too small still). This is your Best drive on the market today :)CrystalDiskInfoIt is Very Important to know your Hard Drive's Health on your computer at all times. If you did not know that this can be done.. The Free Software Link I provided is Still "The Best" software out today..Yes it is freeware... Enjoy

I don't know much about the technicals of hard drives. Yet, I guess at the end of the day as long as they are working and not making much noise that is all I need to know.I placed two of these 'Red' drives in a Synology DS-212j NAS as basically a RAID 1 setup. The Synology recognized them without a problem.Synology's DSM 4.1 software has some aggressive power management schemes and it seems these drives take greater advantage of those schemes than other drives. When both drives are in operation I am seeing about ~22 to ~23 watts of electrical usage from the wall outlet. When they go into deep hibernation mode the unit get down to ~8 to 9~ watts.I think the best feature so far is when the drives go to sleep they stay asleep. Unit activity does not necessarily wake the drives. That may be more of a feature of the DSM software but also, IMO, the new algorithms in the firmware of the hard drives is part of the equation.I'm sure some of the other features that make the drive quiet and smooth running help.I got two of these when the price of was a Franklin and half each...about the same as WD green series pricing. At the regular price, I don't think they are anything special over the green pricing so for me I would not pay the premium.However, I am happy with the performance thus far and if they failed for any reason not related to the mechanicals of the drive itself I would not hesitate to purchase them again. But really, when do hard drives fail not related to its components?

I decided to switch all my 3TB Green drives to 3TB RED ones after the Greens started to fail, ran hot and had poor performance. I'm happy to report the new RED drives run 7 degrees cooler, transfers are always over 100MB! (was only 20-40) and I'm confident they are built to last in NAS setups. I have all 8 drives hooked up via two of these 4-bay USB 3.0 enclosures:Mediasonic HF2-SU3S2 ProBox 4 Bay Hard Drive Enclosure with USB 3.0 & eSATAI also have much higher transfer performance when I added a USB 3.0 hub instead of connecting direct for some reason.Anker® Uspeed USB 3.0 4 Port Hub + 12V 2A Power Adapter + 3ft USB 3.0 Cable , Backward Compatible with USB 2.0I can access one giant pool thanks to stablebit drivepool. (works great, transfers have never been faster)I'll post a link in the comments with more performance and real world details.So again, I fully recommend these if you are serious about home storage. The extra $20 over green is WELL WORTH IT!!!!

Bought this drive because I leave my computer on 24/7. So far, it is very quiet and runs as cool as my Samsung and Hitachi drives. It took less than a couple of minutes using Windows Disk feature from Administrative Tools to format and partition the drive. Since I installed it, It has been working very well without any noticeable sounds or heat issues. I was concerned about buying the other Western Digital or Seagate Hard drives due to all the negative reviews from other customers. I bought the Red Hard drive because it is made to run for long extended period of time. As of today, I am very happy with the drive. Amazon.com packed it very well which kept it from being DOA when I received it.Update: 01/07/2013 Since installing this NAS hard drive in my tower, when you boot up to restore a system image from another hard drive in your computer case, it won't recognize it. It only recognizes the NAS drive. I needed to put my system Image backup on my NAS drive to be able to be recognized during boot up or repair function of Windows 7 or 8. If you have a network, then it won't be a problem but if you don't, be aware that, at least on my computer, it will only recognize the NAS drive during boot up when it comes to restoring your backup. The NAS drive has an embedded program so that it can be used in a Network type of computer configuration but looks like it isn't meant to be installed in a Non-Networked Computer case.

I purchased this 2 TB Western Digital Red drive to swap out with the old internal drive of my Owned HR21-100 DirecTV DVR to add some serious recording space. Drive came packaged well from Amazon (double boxed) and checked out well upon arrival. I put the drive in the DVR, allowed the DVR to format it and have been using it for the past 2 weeks or so. 2 TB is a lot of HD recording space when you were previously limited to 500 GB. This drive is extremely quiet, much more quiet that the old OEM WD Drive that it replaced. With your ear right next to the DVR, you can barely tell when it's spinning. Due to several of the included features, this drive is very well suited for a DVR environment. So far, it's running cool and smoothly. Hopefully I'll get many years use out of it.As a side note, in case anyone is thinking about cracking open their DirecTV DVR, most customers do not own their DirecTV receivers and would be breaking their lease agreement by opening the DVR. In fact, I have 2 DVRs and 2 regular HD receivers and only one of them is a customer owned unit. In any case, this drive will function equally as well in an external ESATA enclosure connected to your leased DirecTV DVR without violating your lease agreement.

2 drives installed with no problems after two days. Running nicely and very quiet--at 82 & 90 degrees. True, they do take several seconds to spin up from hibernation--if I can't wait 5 seconds, something is wrong with my patience level.I have a hard time believing the "dead on arrival" stories--especially the 3 out of 3. They don't just work instantly like a flash drive. Drives do have to be formatted and file systems installed AFTER they are plugged in, so be sure to tackle that little problem. That is not meant to insult anyone who experienced a problem--I have had a few hard drives die in my 28 years of computing experience.Can a drive be defective or damaged in shipment? Sure. Can a drive die early or get zapped by a power surge? Of course--but that's why I bought *two* and placed them in the DS212j with RAID. Swap a drive and no data loss.Looking forward to years of backup peace of mind now.

First the good news, these drives are really quiet and run relatively cool. They are also one of the least expensive 3 TB drives currently availble certified for use in some NAS models. At least with my shipment, Amazon seems to have (finally!) improved their shipping packaging for hard drives. Mine came double boxed.But the bad news is Western Digital quality control seems to either be nearly non-existant or they simply have cut too many corners with their latest large drives. I purchased four and one failed after only a month. You don't have to search very far on the web to learn many people are having problems with the 3TB Red drives. There are reports of people using these in NAS and other RAID arrays and, while they're waiting for one failed drive to be replaced, another drive fails which means they lose all the data in the entire array. Ouch!There are now only a few companies left making hard drives. It seems with little competition quality is no longer a priority. This is really sad considering how catestrophic data loss can be. I suggest doing lots of research before buying any Red drives. Check the reviews on Newegg for example and look for verfified purchases. WD seems to be rather active in "managing" reviews. It's too bad they don't put a similar effort into making better drives.

Purchased this drive for backing up data from my RAID arrays to prevent data loss if one became corrupt. I chose this drive because it is enterprise quality and less expensive / GB than a Caviar Black. The drive passed WD drive tools short and long tests fine, so immediately went into use on my Win7 system. Copying data to this was reasonably fast, 500GB from a RAID array moved at an average of around 80mb/sec . HD Tune test shows max 156, average 115, and minimum 63.7 mb/sec with 16.8ms access time, and 175 burst rate.This saved my data when I recently upgraded an array to a larger size using 4 1TB RE4 drives and had a problem with the resize script which corrupted the array. I will use it for periodic back up, but won't keep it in the case (it's in a back plane so easily removed) to ensure data isn't lost in the event of a power surge or other catastrophe.It's quieter than the RE4 drives, and about the same as a Caviar Black for noise. Runs at 84 degrees F in my case.

I have a Netgear ReadyNAS Ultra4 Plus that had been running with four 1TB Hitachi "enterprise" drives. Needing more capacity, I replaced two of them (so far) with these WD Red 2TB drives. Not only do they work very well, with performance at least as good as the Hitachis, but I find that they run about 10-15F cooler than the Hitachis in the enclosure, which will certainly encourage a longer lifespan.I will likely replace the last two Hitachis with WD Red drives in the near future. An excellent product at a more reasonable price than "enterprise" drives.Edit: March 28, 2013I have now replaced all four Hitachi drives with the WD drives and they're working fine. As I noted above, they run cooler than the Hitachi drives. I did note that the SMART diagnostic feature on the WD drives doesn't report as much information as the Hitachis did, such as a performance rating, but the basic stuff is there.

I was happy to find that, not only did this drive produce almost no noise or heat, it also proved a very significant upgrade the drive it replaced - which was an upscale but old seagate barricuda. In contrast to that drive, which produces significant noise and heat at idle, the WD Red is nearly silent and very cool to the touch.The red series is designed to function as NAS drives where they are on all the time, but need better performance than the "green" line but not so much as "enterprise" drives and such; for me this is a very appropriate performance point for a desktop that runs much of the time.In this context I used a drive clone to keep all the old drive contents, then partition re-sizer, to tweak the results. System is running excellently with nearly no interruption, as contrasted to the hassle and disruption associated with a complete system re-installation.Drive is highly recommended for scenarios like those for which it was designed, which do go beyond NAS to many medium performance desktops.

I purchased 4 of these drives to create a 12TB RAID5 array with mdadm on Ubuntu 12.04LTS. Prior to putting any trust into them I ran 'badblocks -wsv' on each. Took pretty much an entire weekend to scan all the surfaces. Interestingly enough, one of the drives tended to lag behind the other 3 in progress. Badblocks also indicated a bad sector on it, but SMART did not. I am keeping my eye on that one in particular. All 4 passed short and long SMART tests.Overall -- good drives. The TLER wasn't useful to me -- I am using Linux software RAID. What is more useful is that these drives are designed for 24/7 operation and have tweaks like not parking the heads as frequently. This adds to their reliability compared to something like a WD Green or Black at the cost of power savings (vs the Green) and performance (vs the Black).

Red vs GreenRed has 3-year warranty. Green has 2-year warranty.Red uses less power than the Green. (Red power uses 4.10 watts for standby and 4.40 watts for read/write. Green (WD20EZRX) uses 5.50 watts for standby and 6.00 watts for read/write.)Red offers free Premium 24/7 toll free support line. Green offers standard phone support which is free for 30 days from first call. After that it's $14.95 per incident. Phone support is only available during certain hours, but it is available each day, including weekends. Email support is free regardless.My server has 6 Green 2TB drives and one of them was failing. I purchased the Red over the Green because it had a longer warranty and it uses less power. When my other Green drives eventually fail I plan to replace them with the Red.

I bought two of these for my ReadyNAS NVX and it loves them. They are quite and cool. The two of them have been running for only 100 hours so far, but they are holding temps of 32C and 34C. Compared to the Seagates they are sharing the NAS with are running at 34C and 37C.I haven't noticed any speed increase but that could be because they only make up half of the NAS. I still download files at 40MB/sec off the NAS to my single disk desktop (the NAS isn't necessarily the bottleneck)Here is a print out of the full SMART+ StatusSMART AttributeRaw Read Error Rate 0Spin Up Time 5458Start Stop Count 93Reallocated Sector Count 0Seek Error Rate 0Power On Hours 97Spin Retry Count 0Calibration Retry Count 0Power Cycle Count 3Power-Off Retract Count 1Load Cycle Count 91Temperature Celsius 32Reallocated Event Count 0Current Pending Sector 0Offline Uncorrectable 0UDMA CRC Error Count 0Multi Zone Error Rate 0ATA Error Count 0Packaging was great as well.

Ordered these for a great price through Amazon two month ago and it's been running great ever since in my QNAP 659 Pro II. Even though it's meant to be used in a 5-bay NAS, mine is 6, and I haven't gotten any issues. My 4 other Hitachi drives temp are between 100-103 F while these operate at only 87-89. That's a huge difference!! I ran them through the WD Drive Diagnostic test and it was whisper quiet. This is especially important if you have your NAS inside your living room like I do and the spinning drives can be annoying. What it also does is lowers the operating speed on your NAS' cooling fan as well, which means lower operating cost. Once I upgrade to a 10 bay NAS, I will only go with these drives. They're cheap, reliable (TLER is absolutely necessary inside any RAID setup... look it up if you don't know what it does), quite, and fast.

I can't speak to the longevity or performance compared to other products, but I ordered two of these, and they have both been running for the last 4 hours (without a work load on them) in my Network Attached Storage and are at about 90 degrees F. My NAS ran a test on them and says they're both in good health.*edit a few weeks later:they are also very quiet, and I have transferred a very large amount of data on and off of it every day for the last few weeks... no issues - my Network Attached Storage still says they're in good health. If this "status" ever changes or I encounter any issues, I will at that point amend this review. Until then, assume the previous statements to still be true.Ps. These rated as highly reliable, and spin at 5400 RPM. I would have preferred 7200 RPM for the faster read/write speed, but to get that speed with the same reliability rating in a NAS evironment, the price was double to triple what these were. Also, being limited by network speed and computer processing power, these seem quite good - and I couldn't justify the pay increase for the small speed gain. With the rate at which this technology develops, I'm sure my next upgrade will have more storage, faster speeds, and probably cost less... so I'll wait until then :)

I was waiting to populate the rest of my new NAS(Synology DS1812+) with the 4TB version of the RED drive that i was hoping to be released maybe sometime this year. But I just got a message from WD saying they have no plans to make another 4TB drive, part from the ones they already have. So no 4TB RED version drive, which is a bummer, maybe to protect their enterprise drives.So my question to all is what 4TB drive and from which manufacturer would be a good fit(low-power, decent-to-high-speed and excellent reliability) for my NAS? I'll mostlybe using it to stream audio and HD videos and a little for data storage.Thanks,DavidPSI also asked about TLER in the RED drives and they said "The WD Red drive does support TLER, And the drive is intellipower so it will change from 5400 to 7200 if it's needed."Also they said to make sure you have a Gigabit network in your system for optimum performance. I guess this is a given.

I really really like the concept behind these disks. I was kinda skeptical about them, based on the seemingly high failure rate. But I pulled the trigger and bought the 3Tb model. I built a GPT partition and performed a long format, right out of the box. No trouble was found.After a few weeks of constant operation and having filled it up to about 70% capacity, I did a SMART check on it. The reallocated sector count was definitely higher than I wanted to see (~145 so far), but no catastrophic failures so far. I will be watching it closely.I think Western Digital has a product that could really knock one outta the park...if they just get their QC under control.

I got two of these to replace the RAID array in my workstation. The array had been set up with WD Green drives, a configuration not recommended by WD, but at the time, the only WD-recommended drives (the RE black series) were noisy and expensive (though faster). When I swapped out Green for Red, I noticed no increase in noise and no decrease in performance. Plus, the new drives are larger and are approved by WD for 24/7 use and for use in RAID arrays. They carry a longer warranty. Recommended for NAS and workstation RAID when a quiet, economical drive is more important than the last increment of speed.

New Alienware aurora desktop, loaded with ssd main drive.Leaves 3 empty drive bays for upgrades.Needed something as my photo, music, and video server.Easy installation, just slid it right in the tool-less drive bays, started the computer.Remember to go to drive manager to initiate the drive and partition as needed, please read up on this. It is not a simple plug and play device, a little bit of work is needed, though minimal.Very quiet drive, fast for streaming bluray rips, iTunes music at high bit rates, photos load nearly as fast as my ssd.I'm very happy. It runs as what you should expect a good hard drive to do... No more, no less.CheersH
