Top!

I ordered 4 WD RED drives for my Freebox Server NAS and made a RAID 10, very good for long term storage.

Decu

4 copies received including 1 out of order. Still waiting for the SAV since March 11th. Not very reassuring as they are designed to be mounted on a NAS. The installation of the DSM has failed and the NAS is now out of order. It is also returned to the SAV. I'm sorry that the after-sales service can't be more reactive following a breakdown when a product is put into service.

        No problem

        Hard drive has not failed for years (>3) despite operating 7 days a week and 24 hours a day. Too bad the capacity is not higher than 1 TB. Used (x2) in a Raid IcyBox IB-RD2253-U31.

        Good product

        I'm not a fan of Western Digital, but it's a very good drive, even if I'm not a fan of Western Digital. It does the job but I feel the 5400 rpm, especially when you are used to SSDs, it gives a little nostalgic Windows XP feeling. For storage it is very good. In 2021, for an operating system, take an SSD.

        Excellent NAS drive

        8 drives of this type ordered since 2014, running 24/7 in two Freenas NAS in RAID10; only one gave up the ghost after a few months, which can happen with hard drives (the so-called "infant mortality" phenomenon). The performance is good for a 5400 RPM HDD, the noise is contained and it supports relatively high temperatures (mine, grouped by four, rarely go below 40°C; the SMART does not flinch)

        CLEAR

        Used in a TS-451 NAS from Qnap, nothing to say. The speeds are there and they hold up well over time. Typical western digital.

        Perfect

        Quiet and does not heat up.
        Used as a backup on a NAS. Also works on USB on old PCs, ideal for backups.
        I would recommend another one as soon as possible!
        I'm very pleased with the quality of the product.

        Quality!

        Quality hard drive, installed on a NAS (its primary function).

        No problems during installation/initialization.

        No noise, convenient for a living room NAS.

        As usual top delivery with LDLC (1 day with classic chronopost)

        Formatting

        A little surprise when formatting the disk.
        I was offered "Partition GPT (GUID Partition Table)" which I don't know. I chose "Main boot sector" and everything went well as I wanted.

        To be seen in the long term

        I installed 4 of them in RAID5 in my QNAP TS453-mini ...
        They are silent and do not heat up ... we'll see this summer when the temperature will have risen 10° more ... ;-)

        To be continued ...

        I'm not sure about the LDLC order: always good!

        HD which fulfils its function well

        installed on an asus rog 750 laptop, the data rates are very good for a 5400t.very quiet

        test on HDtune, filebenchmark.
        read write
        sequential 95.6MB/s 93.1MB/s
        4k random single 138iops 379iops
        4k random multi 148 iops 407 iops

        for comparison with a 7k1000 which has given up the ghost
        read write
        sequential 136.9MB/s 136.2MB/s
        4k random single 149 iops 326 iops
        4k random multi 152 iops 245 iops

        so not bad at all and I hope... more reliable!
