Pros and cons

According to our internal hard drive HDD expert
  • This drive has been specifically developed for 24/7 use in a NAS.
  • The variable speed (IntelliPower 5,400-7,200RPM) saves energy.
  • Thanks to the NoTouch Ramp Load technology, the drives wears less quickly than usual.
  • A SATA cable to assemble the drive in a PC isn't included.

Description

The WD Red Plus 6TB is a 3.5-inch internal hard drive suitable for NAS in small companies and for the home. Thanks to the integrated anti-vibration sensors, the drive vibrates less, which means the drive is quieter and lasts longer. The drive also has a variable drive speed, which makes it work faster when you're reading and writing a lot of data, and rotate slower when you're not using the NAS. This allows you to save power. The drive also removes the reading and writing button from the disk surface as soon as you stop processing files. This way, it wears less quickly and your drive is more durable.

Too bad about the 600 GB less space

  • It's just a big hard drive
  • Not 6TB but 5.4TB

There used to be rounding differences by calculating whether 1 kilobyte = 1000 bytes (=error) or 1kilobyte = 1024 bytes.

Your computer uses the latter, but Western Digital uses the former. With a small drive, the difference isn't that big, but if you have drives above the terabyte, then that becomes a serious difference.

Basically, a 6TB drive is really only 5.4TB, something that really disappoints me. But this is not only with this manufacturer, but you will also encounter other manufacturers.

It is also a great hard drive for a NAS. Stores a lot of data and is also very fast.

I bought this as an extension for my Synology NAS. You can do something with 6 TB, moreover you can barely hear the disk spinning, it is easily installed and the speed is very good for a non-ssd disk.
