WD Red Plus 4TB NAS 3.5" Internal Hard Drive - 5400 RPM, SATA 6 Gb/s, CMR, 256MB Cache

I recently picked up this Hard drive to go into my Ugreen NAS, and it has been great. I bought it specifically to host my Plex media server and also to keep all my private files safely stored away. I'm really happy with this purchase as it's doing exactly what I needed and I feel it was good value for money. The first one I received was actually faulty and my NAS didn't recognise it at all, but the seller was brilliant and replaced it straight away without any fuss, which was a huge relief. When it comes to how the drive performs, it’s reliable and the speeds are decent for what I use it for—it handles streaming from the Plex server with no issues. Even though I had a slight snag with the first one being faulty, the quick replacement service means I still highly recommend this Hard drive to anyone looking for one.

Great price. Compared to other places. Had to wait for it to come into stock though Could of had a bit more packaging, but the manufacturers box had quite good packing inside and I did a (15hour) long smart test when I first got the HDD, to make sure there was no bad sectors and was fine. Perfect for a back up for my 2 WD Pro Nas 4TB HDDs (which are going strong after 5 years) in my NAS at home.

I’ve been using the WD Red Plus 8TB NAS Hard Drive in my home server/NAS setup, and it’s been absolutely faultless. It’s clearly built for continuous 24/7 use, stable performance, no random disconnects, and no weird behaviour under heavy load. The fact that this is CMR (not SMR) is a massive advantage. Rebuilds, RAID operations, backups, and sustained writes all perform exactly as they should, with consistent speeds and no performance drops. It’s a night-and-day difference compared to SMR drives for server use. Noise and vibration are impressively low for an 8TB mechanical drive. Even with multiple drives running together, it stays quiet and well-behaved,perfect for a home environment where the server is always on. The 256MB cache helps with burst performance, and the 5640 RPM class keeps power consumption and heat nicely under control. Temps have stayed very comfortable even in a tightly packed drive enclosure. If you’re building: • A NAS • A home server • A media server • A backup array • Or a RAID setup This drive is an absolute workhorse. Reliable, quiet, efficient, and purpose-built for the job. Highly recommended.

Order two 4TB drives which turned up in a thin cardboard Amazon sleeve with the drives in just plastic bags over their anti-static bags. No protective packaging, not even some bubblewrap or foam, nothing. Given that these had been shipped from Germany to the UK and delivered without any decent packaging I had pretty low expectations for the health of the drives and so was not surprised when one was reported as degraded by my NAS the moment it was installed. The other one has passed testing so I'm thinking positive thoughts and only returning the DOA drive for a refund. The drives might be adequate but without decent protective packaging its a gamble whether the drives turn up DOA or not.

I have been purchasing HDDs for many decades now and I am sticking to the Western Digital brand because I trust WD to reliably store my data (all personal, including many TB of family video). Some HDDs are on 24/7 with constant access and can get hot, especially when the ambient temperature is high during summer, and I choose WD Red for these more demanding uses. As a personal user, I carefully pick the size and style (e.g. Green Blue Black Red, Red Plus, Red Pro) to give the best price per TB and performance for intended usage. I am paranoid about preserving data and have a rigorous strategy of redundant usage and multiple backups which I have had to prove on occasions due to human error. I do not expect HDDs, from any brand, to last forever though some are still going strong after 20 years with no hint of degradation. In my experience, a few % of HDDs start to show signs of problems after 5 years, and I constantly monitor the raw read error count. These WD HDDs keep going reliably with 100% data integrity for years after the first signs of problems, allowing me time to choose how to retire/replace. I have never had a WD HDD fail catastrophically, it is always a graceful degradation, hence why I trust WD to look after my data.

Good

très bien protégé. Disque très rapide malgré les 5640 RPM, peu bruyant. Très bon pour du stockage. Chauffe moins que la gamme BLACK. Je reste fidèle à cette marque (une bonne vingtaine de HDD en 3.5 et 2.5") car ils ont pu me dépêtrer de certains problème. Très bon SAV, mais soyez un peu patient. Prix raisonnable (j'ai eu des soucis pour enregistrer ma garantie avec le 6Go de la même gamme et le problèmes est résolu)

Arrive well and fast. Performance wise is also is typically of WD quality.
