Review: Western Digital Red Pro 4 TB NAS Hard Drive 8 to 16-Bay 3.5-inch SATA - I currently have two NAS devices that hold 4 drives each. The last NAS I acquired only had two 1TB drives in it and I wanted to expand that capacity. Looking over the available drives, I found these 4TB drives that were on the list of recommended drives for my NAS so I ordered them. Here is what I found: 1. The drives were well packed and protected. Even so, they were easy to remove from the packaging. 2. The drives installed easily and were immediately recognized by the NAS and added to system. 3. The drives are quiet and their temperature is only about 3 degrees higher than the 1 TB drives when in heavy use. 4. Drive access is very good and I am pleased with their performance. All in all, I would highly recommend these drives if you have a need for this type of drive. Keep in mind that a NAS drive has higher ratings than a desk top drive and will usually cost more for that performance and reliability.
Review: Great drive, FAST speeds. - These drives are a significant upgrade of the Seagate drives I used previously that would fail if you even looked at them. I have had a few of these for about a year now and they have been rock solid. I just bought 7 more to use in my new NAS. The speed on this drive is great, only thing I could caution is if you are going to be using these in a machine that is within ear shot be careful, they tend to be a little noisy.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Has anyone used the wd red pro drives as a raid-5 for video editing?  i am also looking at mobius 5-bay raid enclosure to house these drives.**
A: I use them in a RAID enclosure where electronic backups are kept.  Not video editing, but possibly similar usage pattern - large files with big IO patterns.  It's what these are made for - RAID, 7.2K RPM, 5 Year warranty.  Not seen a failure in ~18 months of use so far.

**Q: If i already have drives 4tb wd red (not red pro) and i purchase the red pro, am i able to use it to its full potential? or will it bottleneck?**
A: The only difference between red and red pro is the warranty. Its the same drive for both but where the red comes with a 3 year warranty, the red pro comes with a 5 year warranty. IMO, the extra cost for the additional 2 years is well worth the investment. I would also add that Western Digital's RMA process has to be the best that I have come across.

**Q: Can this be used for 1 to 5 bay NAS systems? description says designed specifically for 8 to 16 bay NAS systems.**
A: Yes, it would work fine in any NAS up to 16 bays. The description says says its for 8 to 16 bay NAS systems because it's designed to be used in larger NAS systems where the vibration from that many drives can destroy a drive that is not designed and built for that environment.

**Q: I bought 2 of these back in Sep 2014 for my QNAP-870 Pro. 1 is reporting bad sectors. I want to order another one for offline backup. Comments?**
A: Are you using these drives in a mirror (RAID 1)?  Is ther firmware of the drive up to date?  These drives are designed for NAS use, but generally are not the ideal drive for standalone or RAID 0 implementations as they employ limited error recovery.  For NAS use in non redundant arrays I would suggest SE or RE drives.  Regardless, a few bad sectors is not really abnormal, however you may wish to utilize software to examine the pattern of bad sectors to see if it suggests impending failure.  If the number is increasing I would RMA the drive.  As for a stand alone offline drive, WD makes a very inexpensive drive limited use for archival storage and any decent drive (even WD Blue) for more frequent backup would be fine.

### ⭐ WD - NAS Drive Fails, Warranty replacement and Customer Service is Extremely Poor and non-responsive
*by P***H on July 18, 2020*

Purchased the 2 4TB WD Red Pro drives for my QNAP NAS, 1) Drive 1 Failed within 2years and back then they had advanced replacement with a CC hold and this was a decent replacement in good time - Main issue here is the unreliability of the WD RED Pro NAS drives 2) Drive 2 Failed 3 months ago and the Warranty replacement for this has been a nightmare, for advance replacement they now charge $25 non-refundable and you have to pay for postage for shipping the drive to them, alternate was to shipping them the faulty drive and once they receive they will then ship a refurbhised drive to me, its been 2 months and absolutely no response from customer service 3) Main Issues - a) How their top of the line WD RED PRO Drives are so unreliable that twice I lost every thing on my NAS (fortunately I had backed that up) b) Warranty replacements are a big farce with WD they make it extremely painful and they are as unreliable as their Drives no c) There is "Zero" empathy for potential data loss of their customers d) A company that loses its ethics and has "Zero" empathy for their customers, it is only a matter of time before they have to Shut SHOP, the BIG and MIGHTY have fallen when Customer Service has been poor, WD you might be BIG now but the FALL is coming ... I'm switching to another company for all my hard drive needs from here on ... --Prashanth
