About Western Digital 8TB WD Red Pro NAS Internal Hard Drive HDD
Overall Feedback:
77% positive
74% appreciated its fast read and write speeds, while 26% experienced slow performance
Transferring big files like zip or iso is really fast and big groups seem fast as well.
I compared the speed and performance of the two drives and found that the Gold drive is noticeably faster than the Red Pro drive, with a 20% difference in transfer speed when past the write cash.
I don't need instantaneous speed, high uptime, or high loads during peak time. I have used the internal hard drive and faced this problem personally. Based on my experience, I can say that.
I compared the speed and performance of two different hard drives and found that the Gold drive is faster by 50 MB/s when past the write cash. This is a significant difference for a drive that is claimed by the manufacturer to be the same spec for write.
73% praised for its massive storage capacity
The high storage capacity is perfect for RAID arrays and it already helped once when an older drive failed due to other hardware difficulties.
69% liked its seamless compatibility with multiple systems
The rebuild was flawless.
80% appreciated its quiet operation, while 20% found it too noisy
I laid the external drive on top of a soft cushion to significantly reduce the noise. Based on my experience, I can say that this is an effective solution.
My hard drive makes a clicking noise every 5 seconds even when it is idle.
The hard drive is very noisy, generating random clicks, clanks, and buzzes. It is distracting to sit next to it, even when not in use.
My 12TB drive vibrates strongly even though it is quiet, causing a low frequency humming noise when the vibration gets amplified through the PC case chassis.

63% liked its compact and sleek design, while 37% found it too bulky
I am concerned that the expensive drive may not last long due to the constant vibration caused by the noise it produces. It does not seem to be well designed.
74% liked its low power consumption, but 26% found it too energy-hungry
Even though the 10tb WD102KFBX drive is loud and consumes more energy, I got it at a good bargain.
I ran a test on the SMART results after using the hard disk for a few days.
71% found it to be extremely reliable and durable, but 29% experienced frequent crashes
The WD Red Pro series is a trusted brand that excels in the field of storage solutions and has been a constant in all my systems over the years.
My hard drive died after just 33 days despite having a 5-year warranty.
65% praised for its advanced security features
The internal hard drive has built-in protection features that can handle the vibrations of a truck running 10 hours a day across some of the worst spans of interstate without failure.
