## Description

From the manufacturer ARCHIVE AND SHARE Designed specifically for medium or large scale business customers, WD Red Pro drives are available up to 20TB and built for up to 24-bay NAS systems. For the Demands of Big Business Engineered to handle high-intensity workloads in 24/7 environments, WD Red Pro is ideal for archiving and sharing, as well as RAID array rebuilding on extended operating systems such as ZFS or other file systems. These drives add value to your business by enabling your employees to quickly share their files and back-up folders reliably in your NAS solution. Larger NAS Bay Shock Protection WD Red Pro drives are equipped with a multi-axis shock sensor that automatically detects subtle shock events and dynamic fly height technology which adjusts each read-write function to compensate and protect the data. This combination of technology further protects the drives in larger 1 to 24 bay NAS environments and helps increase hard drive reliability. 24/7 Environment Since your NAS system is always on, a reliable drive is essential. With an MTBF of up to 1 million hours, the WD Red Pro drive is engineered to tackle 24/7 environments. 3D Active Balance Plus Cooler operations and enhanced reliability Helps ensure your data is protected from excessive vibration and noise in a NAS or RAID environment. This dual-plane balance control reduces the degradation of your drive over time. By reducing power consumption, the operating temperature of your NAS stays cool. With a lower temperature in your system, you can create a more reliable solution for your NAS. The Power of Red comes to SSD Step up to enterprise-class performance Boost your NAS system’s performance and responsiveness with the WD Red SA500 NAS SATA SSD. Unlike standard SSDs, WD Red NAS SATA SSDs are purpose built for endurance and efficient caching. Specifically designed for use in enterprise-class storage systems and data centers, the WD Gold Enterprise Class HDD delivers the world-class performance you expect from Western Digital hard drives.

Review: Ridiculous price but a good drive - Just performed an extended Smart (S.M.A.R.T) test on this 20TB drive via DSM on my Synology DS220J NAS. Test reports the drive is healthy and total power on time was 0, as you'd expect for a brand new drive. So all is working well. I purchased this drive from desertcart and they delivered it too. Packaging was sufficient but really, for an item of such high value, I wish they would do better. It essentially came in a cardboard box with some brown paper used to pad it out - only on one side of the box though - should be on both, and at the sides! Fortunately though, the WD box itself is fairly well packaged with some plastic inserts to hold the drive in place and prevent it making contact with the edges of the box itself. The box was also sealed with a clear plastic label which looked original to me. The drive itself was within an antistatic bag. So the drive is packaged in the WD box quite well - desertcart, not so much. But it arrived in good condition and it's working - that's all that matters. As for the price - the only word I can use to describe it is 'ridiculous'. Not only in the sense that AI data centers are pushing HDD prices up across the board, but the price on desertcart seems to change every five minutes. I won't say any more than that as this review will probably get blocked but desertcart has a 'price history' feature, which I'd encourage you to use. I've never had a WD NAS grade drive before so can't comment on longevity, but my expectations are that this should last at least 5 years and if that proves not to be true, you can guarantee I will come back and update this review!
Review: Old school but cost per TB with this sort of reliability wins over SSD - If NVMe speed is not the driving factor rather a reliable backup is then these are a good alternative I run 2 of these in a RAID 0 set giving me 32TB of backup space and they are very good, Performance is surprisingly fast and as its just two disks after 4 years I'll mothball these as a backup of that day and pop in two new ones (in 4 years time that's more likely to be SSD). Today though with an inexpensive Enclosure its an inexpensive and reliable backup solution when you need high volume backups. I use these as a fast tertiary backup so Raid 0 is fine. I would never recommend Raid 0 as your only backup option.

### ⭐ Poorly-packaged, missing sectors after a couple of weeks use, deteriorated since.
*by F***K on 20 October 2024*

Package arrived in a small plain cardboard box. No fragile label and no outer box with foam packing. Clearly split from a much better-packaged and protected job lot case and cheaped out on transit protection. It was an urgent order, so I didn't have the time to refuse delivery for inadequate packaging or fully test and RMA it. My preferred supplier Scan UK only stocked up to 18TB Red Pros at the time these 20TB drives were the highest capacity and now that 24TB Red Pro drives have been out for months only stock up to 22TB. I wish I had refused delivery or returned. Within a week there were a few bad sectors. Health in HD Sentinel has now in 2024 (T+2yrs) deteriorated to CRITICAL 10% Health with 854 BAD SECTORS during self test.40 WEAK SECTORS S.M.A.R.T. 5,Reallocated Sectors Count,1,100,100,OK,000000000001,0,Enabled 196,Reallocation Event Count,0,100,100,OK (Always passing),000000000001,0,Enabled 197,Current Pending Sector Count,0,100,100,OK (Always passing),000000000028,0,Enabled 198,Off-Line Uncorrectable Sector Count,0,100,100,OK (Always passing),000000000356,0,Enabled A 10TB WD Red Pro installed in the same machine June 2019 is still perfect with no bad or weak sectors. I expect better packaging, particularly when Amazon overpackage robust items.
