About this deal

Diese läuft jetzt übrigens seit 1769 Stunden ebenfalls problemlos und kühl (28°C) und ohne Fehler. Hoffentlich bleibt das dabei. Die Platte ist halt recht groß - man muss Geduld mitbringen. Ergebnis: Problemlos. Keine Aussetzer, keine Warnungen.

Futuremark’s PCMark benchmarking suite should need no introduction – it’s been a staple of PC benchmarking for the better part of a decade. PCMark offers a range of tests to gauge every aspect of a computer’s performance and presents it in a simple final result. Thankfully, it also breaks down the overall score with individual subsystem scores (such as Memory, Storage, et cetera) in addition to providing individual test results. SMR is tested and proven technology that enables us to keep up with the growing volume of data for personal and business use. We are continuously innovating to advance it. SMR technology is implemented in different ways – drive-managed SMR (DMSMR), on the device itself, as in the case of our lower capacity (2TB – 6TB) WD Red HDDs, and host-managed SMR, which is used in high-capacity data center applications. Each implementation serves a different use case, ranging from personal computing to some of the largest data centers in the world. Noise and vibration: Typically designed for single drive applications, average desktop drives are not optimized for multi-drive systems which have higher noise and vibration levels. When these drives are added to a NAS, the additional vibration can reduce the reliability and life span of the drive.

WD Red for Personal or Home Office

Reliability: The always-on environment of a NAS or RAID is a hot one, and desktop drives aren’t typically designed and tested under those conditions like WD Red™ is.

Also ganz so beunruhigt bin ich nicht, aber dass die beiden sich unterschiedlich verhalten, ist schon ein bißchen komisch. Das war's. Mehr werde ich nicht schreiben. Ich kann die Platten wie gesagt absolut empfehlen. Auf Dauer werde ich auf größere umsteigen und da wahrscheinlich die Seagate Iron-Wolf Serie nehmen. Eine habe ich bereits, die läuft. Ist aktuell auch 40€ günstiger als die vergleichbare WD Red, beim Kauf der Platte war aber (noch) keine verfügbar. Ansonsten kein besonderer Grund, auf Seagate umzusteigen. Array starts off operating as normal, but drive 3 has developed a bad sector several weeks ago. This went unnoticed because the bad sector was part of a rarely accessed file. Yet again, the Red 6TB drive only manages to beat out its 4TB brethren, but that shouldn’t strike us as too much of a surprise. Unlike most of the drives in this lineup, the Red series’ platters spin at 5.3K RPM. Seagate’s NAS drive, by comparison, bumps the RPM to 5.9K, which could be the main differentiating factor in the random write test. Real-World: TransfersSpecifications can only indicate a drive's speeds, so we put a WD Red 6TB drive through our usual range of tests to see how fast it was. Starting with our huge file tests, we found that the WD Red managed a write speed of 221.9MB/s and a read speed of 234.6/s. This put the drive at 14% slower than the 4TB Toshiba N300, most likely due to the WD Red's slower spindle speed. Outside of the 6TB model, WD’s Red series carries a typical premium over the Green, with Seagate matching the Red for the most part.

I've got 5 of these in a Synology DiskStation 5-Bay (Diskless) Network Attached Storage (DS1512+) . It is really a sweet setup. Reliability: Desktop drives aren’t typically designed for the demands of an always-on NAS environment. WD Red Pro hard drives are designed to perform under tough conditions encountered in high-intensity 24x7 multi-user NAS environments. From a sequential performance perspective, our tests confirm that our WD Red DMSMR drives are on par with our existing CMR drives. Third-party testing also validates the performance of WD Red DMSMR drives compared with other drives under general hard drive benchmarks used in an NAS environment.Our current device-managed shingled magnetic recording (DMSMR) (2TB, 3TB, 4TB, and 6TB) WD Red series will be the choice for the majority of NAS owners whose demands are lighter SOHO workloads. Nach einer kurzen Akklimatisierungsphase habe ich sie an ein USB-SATA-Adapter gehangen, um einen ersten Test zu machen. Einschalten - nix passiert?

WD Red Pro 22TB hard drives feature Western Digital’s proprietary OptiNAND™ technology which leverages integrated iNAND embedded flash to perform key housekeeping functions, freeing up more capacity and improving the overall drive performance. A hard disk's cache can help iron out performance differences, with the amount you get depending on the drive's capacity. With the 10TB drive, you get a whopping 256MB of cache; 8TB drives have 128MB of cache; and 6TB and below have 64MB of cache. In comparison, the Toshiba N300 range has a spin speed of 7,200rpm and a 128MB of cache across the line. WD Red 6TB review: Speed and performance Western Digital’s exclusive NASware™ technology fine tunes drive parameters to match NAS system workloads which helps increase performance and reliability. Die Platte wird ein wenig wärmer als die alte 2TB-Platte, die hat nämlich aktuell 23°C, die neue 6TB meldet 27°C. Immer noch: Cooles Ding. Die Zeiten, wo man sich die Finger an Platten verbrennen konnte, sind definitiv vorbei. Der Lüfter im Synology ist im "Lieber leiser als kälter"-Modus - aber diese Temperaturen sind mehr als in Ordnung.We typically specify the designed-for use cases and performance parameters and don’t always talk about what’s under the hood. One of those innovations is Shingled Magnetic Recording (SMR) technology. Halbes Jahr ist um. Läuft. Ich vermute, dass hier eher die Leute schreiben, die Ärger mit der Platte haben als die, deren Geräte klaglos und unauffällig laufen. Ich kann nichts Negatives berichten. Keine Fehler in den SMART-Tests. Täglich wird ein Schnelltest gemacht und monatlich ein erweiterter SMART-Test (ich bekomme dann auch einmal im Monat einen "Gesundheitsbericht" vom NAS per mail - wie nett). Die Temperaturen steigen an - es wird ja auch wärmer in Deutschland. Bin mal auf den Sommer gespannt, aber 30° ist ja noch super. Das NAS steht im Keller, dort sind keine 32° Umgebungstemperatur zu erwarten.
