Western Digital 16TB WD Red Pro NAS Internal Hard Drive HDD - 7200 RPM, SATA 6 Gb/s, CMR, 256 MB Cache, 3.5" - WD161KFGX

nothing still now!!!

Excellent HDD for professional NAS users.

Hard drive arrived dead, package fine. When connected to WD NAS and PC had severe vibration and knocking.

Great product for great price. Pity it now cost more.

Lo compré en agosto de 2024 para un PC tipo torre (no servidor) y hasta ahora no ha dado ningún problema. Tiene buenas velocidades de lectura y escritura siempre teniendo en cuenta que se trata de un disco mecánico.

Excelente duración, poco ruido .

Nach vielen Jahren positiver Erfahrung mit den WD Red und Recherche im Internet wollte ich mir für mein neues NAS 2 WD Red Pro zulegen. Etwas skeptisch haben mich die Bewertungen bezüglich der Verpackung gemacht, aber der Verkäufer hat sie sich augenscheinlich zu Herzen genommen. Die Verpackung ist mehr als perfekt. Ich habe leider nur 1 Foto gemacht, aber es war eine Kartonhülle, darin mit Noppenfolie umhüllt die Karton/Schaumstoffummantelung der Festplatte. Besser geht es nicht. In den ersten 2 Tagen nach der Einrichtung des NAS waren die Festplatten schon intensiv zu hören. Aber seitdem finde ich die gelegentlichen Geräusche nicht als besonders unangenehm.

I bought another pair of the 4TB WD Red Pro drives to go in another Synology DS218 NAS, my third now. These drives have the extra benefit of being optimised for NAS working and are heavy duty, and the Synology knows about them and how to make the best use of the system. Except for some chatter when the heads are seeking, I cannot hear them working unless I use a screwdriver as a "mechanic's stethoscope" on the box. The box runs cool. The drives do not come with a fitting kit, but this is not required in most installations which expect to see standard drives and have appropriate mounting systems, as is the case with the Synology. Commissioning and drive checking took about an hour, including unpacking, initialising, updating, and installing all the software and permissions needed. The end capacity in the NAS is not 4TB, but much closer to 3.6TB after big-drive formatting and RAID system are taken into account. However I am happy with this as it is about two years worth of storage, and then it will be time for another newer RAID drive. More smaller new systems with incremental improvements instead of one big old slow one is like having several easily managed baskets for one's precious eggs instead of a big heavy one just asking to be dropped.
