Model overview based on user reviews  
The WD NasWare Red series is highly regarded for its quiet operation, reliability, and suitability for NAS systems. Users appreciate the cool and efficient performance of models like the 2TB and 4TB, although the 8TB model is noted to be audibly louder and warmer. The drives are praised for their fast access times and low energy consumption, making them ideal for continuous use in NAS environments. However, some users express concerns about the helium technology in larger models, which may affect long-term reliability. Overall, the WD NasWare Red is considered a reliable choice for data storage, especially in NAS setups, with a few users experiencing issues with specific models, but most reporting positive long-term performance.

The larger the volume, the more noise, heat, and less reliability.
15 October 2017 
2TB model - quiet, cool, reliable, 10 units in operation - 2 have already accumulated over 20,000 hours, the entire surface of the disks is good, with fast access time
4TB model - quiet in standby, barely audible in operation, warm
8TB model - quiet in standby, clearly audible in operation, hot up to 52 degrees
2TB model - quiet, cool, reliable
4TB model - quiet in standby, slightly audible in operation, warm
8TB model - quiet in standby, clearly audible in operation, fast
8TB model and above - the main drawback is helium, it is not eternal and constantly dissipates through the case. Unsuitable for "eternal" storage.
Happy with my choice

good quality product
I think the main advantage is that it is optimized for consumer NAS. They behave normally at work and remain cool. This is a very good indicator. This model is cheaper than buying the RE series. They are more reliable in operation than desktop models.

I bought this hard drive to install the system, programs, and store work documents. I work with video and graphics, so I needed a large capacity. So far, I'm satisfied with how it performs :)
works fast, quiet, and almost doesn't heat up, fits various needs perfectly, very good capacity.
