Abstract: Now that the prices of SSDs have dropped to well below 50 cents per GB, we expect that only few Hardware.Info readers will still want to use a conventional hard drive as their primary storage device. We still can't quite live without them, however, beca...
Western Digital has created a great drive with their RED 6TB HDD. It is designed specific for NAS usage and is a drive that is perfect for RAID setups. We saw great performance figures in all our benchmarks the drive also features a very low power consump...

none, Neutral, Weighs 725 grams, “The WD RED 3.5″ 6TB drive blasted almost any other SATA drive away that we’ve tested prior. The great speeds, enormous capacity, and cheap price per GB makes it a winner in every way.”, Western Digital 3.5″ Red 6TB NAS Ha

The WD Red drive comes in a variety of sizes from 750 GB all the way up to the 4 TB version we are reviewing here.This is one of the only 4 TB drives on the market today so if you need a lot of storage, and a good speed, and you plan on using the drive in...
We were already very much convinced about the qualities of the Red disks from Western Digital we tested earlier. The same holds for de 4TB model. The disk definitely isn't the fastest around, but that's not what is sets out to achieve in the first place...
