    How these stack up compare to WD Red drives?

      Concluding Remarks

      Coming to the business end of the review, one must note that both Western Digital and Seagate have put forward convincing offerings for the 1-5 bay NAS market. While the Seagate unit manages to win most of the performance tests, it comes at the cost of an increase in power consumption. 1-5 bay NAS system users looking for top performance at lower price points might do well to take a look at the Seagate NAS HDD. On the other hand, if a cool-running system is the need of the hour and performance is not a major concern, the WD Red makes an excellent choice. We have also been very impressed with WD's response to various user complaints about the first generation Red drives. Seagate's track record with the NAS HDD is pretty small since the drives started shipping just a couple of months ago. As the drives get more widespread, compatibility issues (if any) get resolved and more user field reports become public.

      Sometimes, the expected workloads become too heavy (> 150 TB/yr) for the consumer NAS drives to handle. Under those circumstances, the WD Se and WD Re are excellent choices. The WD Se can handle up to 180 TB/yr and the WD Re can go up to 550 TB/yr. Thanks to their higher rotational speed (7200 rpm), the enterprise grade drives have much better performance on the whole. We have also been using the WD Re drives for evaluation of various NAS systems. The disks have gone through countless rebuilds for test purposes and are still going strong. We have no qualms in standing behind the WD Re drives for very heavy NAS workloads.

      I found this website incredibly helpful. Its from a cloud storage company who use many drives, and decided to test them as an off-service to what they offered their customers.

      https://www.backblaze.com/blog/best-hard-drive/

      They use pretty much all the brands of hard drives, use them and monitor their failure rates. Because they use such a large sample of drives of each brand, you can get a very accurate idea of real life failure rates, etc.

      According to their statistics, would suggest that WD Reds have among the worst failure rates

        Think I'll stick to my lucky green run then!

    The Seagates seem to have better performance being 5900rpm but have higher power usage.

  • mttk1853 on 13/06/2015 - 10:30

    Good deal, as I have bought the same from CPL this Tuesday for $239. However the reason why I bought it there is due to the Synology Seagate Bundle cash back (http://seagatespecials.com.au), but MSY is not an participating retailer. So no use for me. Furthermore CPL is free delivery for Melbourne City and MSY you have to go there in person to queue up. At last, the total package CPL is the cheapest including the NAS, HDD + postage.

  • muncan on 13/06/2015 - 10:48

    I've always gone for the WD Green drives in my NAS as they always seem the cheapest, and haven't had any issues. Am I doing it wrong?
    e.g. the 4TB is currently $189

    • bowtiehoon on 13/06/2015 - 11:17

      To my understanding, you can just firmware hack the greens to behave similar to the reds …

        That was the old greens, cant anymore with newer models

        • bowtiehoon on 17/06/2015 - 00:20

          wow didn't know that…you just saved from buying some greens :)

    • asa79 on 13/06/2015 - 11:37

      Greens aren't designed for Raid environments, with the idle parking causing the RAID to think the drive has failed

      • muncan on 13/06/2015 - 12:07

        Thanks. I definitely must be doing something wrong then, because I've been using them for 5 years with no failures in a ReadyNAS NV+ and now a 104. Would you think there'd be any issue if I mixed greens and reds in the same NAS? (as I progressively upgrade 1 drive at a time, over time)

          http://wdc.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1397/~/difference-between-desktop-edition-(wd-blue,-wd-green-and-wd-black)-and-raid

          Western Digital manufactures desktop edition hard drives and RAID Edition (RE) hard drives. Each type of hard drive is designed to work specifically as a stand-alone drive, or in a multi-drive RAID environment.
          If you install and use a desktop edition hard drive connected to a RAID controller, the drive may not work correctly. This is caused by the normal error recovery procedure that a desktop edition hard drive uses.

          Critical: WD Black, WD Green, and WD Blue hard drives are not recommended for and are not warranted for use in RAID environments utilizing Enterprise HBAs and/or expanders and in multi-bay chassis, as they are not designed for, nor tested in, these specific types of RAID applications. For all Business Critical RAID applications, please consider WD’s Enterprise Hard Drives that are specifically designed with RAID-specific, time-limited error recovery (TLER), are tested extensively in 24x7 RAID applications, and include features like enhanced RAFF technology and thermal extended burn-in testing.

      the 4TB drive is $50.5 per TB, this Amazon one is $55.6 per TB.
      So it's not a better deal.

        Sometimes I feel like creating a spreadsheet so that people can compare apples with apples (it is not that I am Apple fan). I did it once connected to the dell outlet website and it worked great.

    Where are the 8TB archive drive deals when I need one grrrr.

      I hear your pain bro!

    • asa79 on 13/06/2015 - 15:09

      They not made for nas raids yet

  • jdg on 19/06/2015 - 12:12

    Looks like this deal is on again this weekend. Just bought 2 x 4TB drives - Thanks OP.

  • GS9891 on 22/06/2015 - 13:11

    What's the advantage of these over the 4TB 7200rpm Barracudas going for $189?
