Huge capacity, Low power consumption, Quiet
Not the fastest 10TB drive

Despite the fact that there are only three hard disk drive manufacturers left, you have a lot to choose from when you're looking for a new drive. It is not just about prices either. Though SSDs have outperformed hard drives for a long time now, there are...
Up to 10TB capacity options, Low noise and power consumption, Good endurance, Fair pricing,
Not as fast as 7200 RPM drives, Neutral, 5400 RPM spindle speed, “Western Digital continues to develop and improve their WD Red drives. The 10TB version I tested today is a perfect example: A solid SOHO NAS drive that is silent and efficient.”, WD Red 10T

Good speeds, despite the spec, Good reliability
No RV sensor, Toshiba's N300 drives are bettervalue in some cases
We've been impressed with the latest incarnation of the WD Red range of drives. If you need smaller or larger capacities than rival Toshiba offers or want the best performance, the WD Red line-up is an excellent choice...

If you already have a NAS at home or in your small business, then you probably would rather not have to buy a new appliance in order to increase storage.Thankfully, then, with the new WD Red 8TB a 2-bay NAS device like my QNAP TS-251 could store 16TB with...

Can be very expensive compared to other brands
It's pretty obvious that RAID arrays have been around for a long time, but technology has obviously improved and reliability ever so much; RAID 0 however offers absolutely no redundancy so once a drive fails or data is lost, it can't be recovered. That be...
