Are WD Red Plus drives worth the significant premium?

The Exos manual claims an average seek noise level of 3.2 - 3.4 bels (32 - 34dB). WD Reds are rated at 27 dB. So in this instance, the "forum conjecture" is correct: The Exos drives are significantly louder. Seagate EXOS Data Center HDD Noise Level Test WD Red Plus HDD Noise Level Test In practice,

UGREEN's NAS+UPS set for black friday look kinda tempting, is it good price to grab?

I bought a DH4300+ from Amazon US back in Sept — paid $365.99. Currently $364.99 diskless on Amazon US. I added a couple of 4TB WD RED PLUS NAS disks. And a little bit later their small UPS built for their NAS units. I really like it — easy set up and install. And important to me it’s quiet, compact

Why does the FreeNAS official hardware guide seem to favour WD Red Plus over other alternatives like the Seagate Ironwolfs?

I'm building my first ever NAS and its time to decide on hard drives. Since I am a newbie, I'm fairly impartial to both brands having not had extensive personal experience with either.

I'm down to picking between the Seagate Ironwolf vs WD Red Plus. After some googling and reading through some simi

HDD Festplatten Diskussion und Empfehlung

Als HDD im externen Gehäuse habe ich recht gute Erfahrungen mit den Western Digital MyBook gemacht. Ansonsten setze ich in meinem NAS WD Red Plus HDDs ein. Fürs gelegentliche extra Backup habe ich noch eine WD Blue herumliegen. Dann in Verbindung mit einer Raidsonic Icybox Docking Station zum einfac

Is a "NAS SSD" a thing?

If it’s primarily media files for consumption on a tv or similar, I think a HDD is probably the cheapest way to go. HDDs typically have transfer rates of 180-250MB/s, and a 4K stream requires something like 15-25MB/s, so in theory you could probably watch 10 simultaneous 4K streams off of a single m

TS-251 WD Red Drives still considered good?

Yes, I just upgraded to two WD Red Plus 12tb - coincidentally from 4tb 😂 The model I bought is the WD120EFGX. Bear in mind that any WD Plus over 10tb are filled with helium and therefore are quieter.
