I recently added the Western Digital 14TB WD Red Pro NAS Internal Hard Drive to my home NAS system, and it has proven to be a stellar addition to my storage setup. The drive lives up to the “Pro” in its name, providing reliable performance and ample storage capacity for my needs.
First and foremost, the drive itself operates quietly, a feature that is appreciated in any home setup. While the housing I chose for the drive could use a bit of improvement, the internal workings of the WD Red Pro drive are where it truly shines. It seamlessly integrates into my NAS system, delivering consistent and efficient performance.
Setting up a home NAS system with these drives was a breeze, even for someone with basic knowledge of storage systems. The user-friendly nature of the WD Red Pro series makes it accessible for those looking to establish emergency backups for crucial family information or simply expand their storage capabilities.
Having opted for a total of 4 drives for my NAS, the storage capacity has proven more than sufficient for my data needs. The reliability and consistency of WD drives have been a constant in all my systems over the years, and the WD Red Pro series is no exception. It’s a trusted brand that excels in the field of storage solutions.
In conclusion, the Western Digital 14TB WD Red Pro NAS Internal Hard Drive is an excellent choice for anyone seeking a high-capacity, reliable storage solution. With the ease of setup and the brand’s proven track record for quality products, it’s a solid investment for both enthusiasts and those looking to secure their family’s crucial information. I highly recommend WD Red Pro drives for anyone in need of professional-grade storage performance.

Todo de acuerdo a lo esperado, hasta ahora trabajando sin problemas y llegó mucho mejor empaquetado que los que envÃa directamente Amazon, últimamente Amazon envÃa los discos duros en sobre con prácticamente nada de protección más que las pequeñas burbujas que trae el interior del sobre, no he tenido problemas tampoco y no me preocupa tanto por la excelente polÃtica de devoluciones de Amazon pero definitivamente no es la mejor forma de empaquetar un disco duro, en este caso el disco llegó en caja con algo de protección extra, se agradece.

I was all. excited to buy qty 2 of these. I got them and found out they will not work with my Synology NAS as it only accepts up to 20TB. So I went to my attached USB 2 drive Terramaster and sure enough it also only handles up to 20TB. From my research the 20TB is really a limit until a newer generation of home server or USB multi drive. unit comes out.. Buyer beware.. My Synology could handle one of them but not two in a raid..

Some techies don’t like these. I do for my Synology 4112+ RAID Server.
Not happy WD is pulling this Red PLUS nonsense, if you know, you know what I mean. Simply, the new basic Reds, look like the old better Reds, but are not. You want these, Red Plus, to replace the old ones.
Had 3tb Reds before this – lasting over 11 years 24/7 – a lot or those years spent in up to 88 degrees in Vegas home with bad A/C, three of 4 were still running when I pulled the raid and upgraded to these 6gb drives (in a place with good A/C, phew).
Tbh, I’m writing this review a year after buying 5 of them for my RAID server. They’re doing great. Disc health is pretty much perfect still.

Comprei para compor o volume de storage de NAS da synology. HD compatÃvel e suportado pela Synology, foi perfeito para expandir a capacidade de armazenamento. Vendedor entregou no prazo correto com produto em bom funcionamento e condições apesar de embalado apenas com 2 plásticos finos. Hard drives requerem cuidado adicional para proteção.

This drive worked perfectly upon installation and I’ve had no problems with it in over 2 weeks. I’m using it for Time Machine backups via an external disk attachment on a 7 year old Mac. Time Machine runs about once an hour. However, I noticed that some reviewers are complaining about the noise on this drive and I want to use my IT professional background to give some insight into what might be going on for them so that others can make an informed decision on this drive. I have the 2 TB drive.
I don’t personally find this drive to be loud and it’s running in an external disk drive enclosure. It runs about once an hour for however long Time Machine needs to run. When the drive is in use, it does make some noise, but it can’t be heard at all outside of the room it’s in. I sleep in the room next to where it lives and both rooms are always open and I’ve never had this drive make enough noise to be heard beyond maybe 7 feet from it and it can barely be heard at that distance. So why are some people complaining rather bitterly about how loud this drive is?
First of all, it’s an old school mechanical drive. It will make some noise when in use. That is the nature of these drives. And the more you use them and the more filled up they get, the more likely they are to make some noise on use. It is also possible that some drives off the manufacturing line are better than others, some are worse, and some of the people who complain just by bad luck got a noisy one. I don’t find the noise I’m hearing to be unusual for this type of drive. I’ve heard a lot worse. Also, if someone is going to use this drive with a lot of file deletions and additions, it’s going to make more noise. My suggestion for people who are extremely noise sensitive is to consider paying more and using SSDs instead. They won’t make any noise. This drive has worked exactly as I intended it to work and I would recommend it to others. Again, please note that this is a mechanical drive and its lifespan is expected to be much lower than that of an equivalent SSD. You should probably think about replacing it after 3-4 years whereas for a 2 TB SSD, ,in theory you could get decades of heavy use before it goes bad. That’s why SSDs cost more.

My level with servers is that of an absolute amateur. I don’t need instantaneous speed, high uptime, or needing to handle high loads during a peak time. I use my NAS as a repository to stream movies on plex occasionally, store home photos and videos, and back up phone data across my family.
While I cannot speak for those with more nuanced intricacies, I can highly recommend this for those at my level – to those who dabble in storing family data. The high storage capacity is perfect for RAID arrays, which has already helped once when an older drive failed due to other hardware difficulties. The rebuild was flawless. In addition, even when bulk information goes through the drives, the drives are never that loud. It’s great for home use and is barely even noticeable.
5/5 for surviving consistent uptime, good data storage for the price, and being low volume.
