    Personally I'd pay the extra and get a WD Red but that's just me

      I thought the Seagate drives were pretty much on par with Western Digital these days?

        • Howizzle on 23/09/2015 - 21:04

          I've never understood why people are so quick to link backblaze, comparing WD reds vs desktop barracudas, doesn't really seem fair?

        • Dr Techno on 23/09/2015 - 21:17

          @Howizzle: True. I can only speak from my experience. I've had multiple Seagate's die on me. Even 1 external drive didn't last 1 week (powered on only 3 times) and replacement lasted for 9 months. Hear similar stories from friends. ie. drives dying in 1 week to a few months.. dunno if they got the drives with dodgy firmware. This would be around 2008 mark onwards.
          Before in early 2000's I had a bad run with WD hence why I went to Seagate but now WD seems solid for me. Also seem to be getting a good run from Samsung.

      What's Ethernet or WiFi got to do with it Willis?

      It's a NAS drive because it is designed to go into a NAS. Not to be an external standalone NAS.

        Well, just about any sata drive can go in a NAS. Whats the difference? Different firmware parameters?
        Smells like marketting BS, like "gaming" RAM, which comes with anodised cooling fins :-) Extra $ from the gullible who read spec's but don't understand them.

          Longer warranty, lower power and crucially lower operating temp. Sure, you can put a standard 3.5 inch drive into a NAS but it probably won't last as long.

          Would you put a consumer NAS drive into an enterprise data centre?

          manic sounds… manic

          you mad bro?

        • ronnknee on 23/09/2015 - 18:26

          NAS hard drives are actually a thing…

    • ashanrath on 23/09/2015 - 13:43

      Huh, I guess both MSY and the Seagate website must both be wrong then, because it looks like they both list the same model number…

      You realise a NAS server is what connects to the network right? Not the HDD itself?

      • tonyjzx on 23/09/2015 - 18:01

        to be fair to manic, some companies do sell a 3.5 drive in a slim case with ethernet and/or wifi and call it a "nas drive"… in fact i bought two from msy from an ozbargain post

        I dont believe he knows about that though, he's just a bit wound up.

    Any offers on wd 6tb red?

  • leetec on 23/09/2015 - 22:08

    I used a some of this NAS drive, it's durability much better than WD drive like say WD Black which was none stop failing in NAS, just haven't use WD Red yet. Don't worry about the www.backblaze.com report, it's first report doesn't know much about the basic of HDD industry, only second report start making sense on the right way.

      I bought 4 Seagate 3tb NAS drives in Jan 2015 - 1 failed after 6 months. Walked into MSY and got swapped for another one and plugged it and rebuilt in a few hours. The Seagate NAS drives seem to be straight swap, rather than send back to Seagate and wait for RMA in the mail.

      I have 3 WD Reds from Amazon in Jan 2015 - none failed so far.
      About 8 Toshiba 3TB from Jan 2012 - Dec 2014 and none have failed in the last three years.
      6 normal 3TB Seagates from 2012 - all have died, either out of warranty, or in and replaced with refurbs).
      5 3tb WD green from 2012 - 1 failed

      ymmv - this is from a very limited sample.
