A line of highly specialized 3.5″ HDD drives from the American manufacturer Western Digital. They are part of the specialized WD Red server series, belong to the upper price range, and are focused on round-the-clock operation as part of home, office and commercial NAS servers.

WD Red Plus has important features to optimize your server shelf experience. An adaptive compensation system with a shaft fixed on both sides and three-dimensional balancing minimizes the negative effects of vibration. Another important aspect is that the heads are parked only when the power is turned off, which allows the drive to continue working even in standby mode. Well, the built-in NASware technology suite increases the compatibility of WD Red drives with a home or office network, which is connected to numerous PCs, laptops, smartphones, TVs and other equipment with a Wi-Fi connection. All this makes WD Red Plus hard drives ideal for server needs to ensure stable and uninterrupted operation.

I bought a 4 TB WD hard drive from Rozetka. It worked for a while and started beeping, knocking and grinding. It didn't read, didn't write and froze. The test program gave a million errors and hundreds of used sectors. I took it under warranty. They sent it to the service center. And from there they called and said it's WORKING We're sending it back to you I read a lot of reviews about Rozetka - I'm not the only one, there are thousands of cases And I realized that they don't care about reputation, the main thing is money And then they send the client away. I don't advise anyone to buy anything expensive from Rozetka. If a warranty case occurs, they'll just send you after the Russian ship Volume Unreliable  Andrey : use WD WD40EFPX more than year |
The drive is a pretty good compromise in terms of speed/noise/power consumption. It's quiet in operation, but there's an annoying thud every few seconds, and this thud isn't absorbed by the PC case, but I don't know of any better options. Unfortunately, switching to 4kn mode is quite complicated (WD Hugo). It's worth considering, except in cases where you really need speeds over 200MB/sec or power consumption in standby mode (when the drive isn't spinning) - you should look at other models. I will also buy the same or a similar one from the Pro series as soon as they are available at a good price. Relatively low power consumption and noise, helium, adequate starting currents No logical sector change mode like in Pro versions  Volodimir: use WD WD120EFBX few months |
