This review is from: WD Red Plus 3TB NAS Hard Disk Drive - 5400 RPM Class SATA 6Gb/s, CMR, 64MB Cache, 3.5 Inch - WD30EFRX
Pros:
I replaced the two stock 1TB drives in a Seagate Black Armor 220 with two of these. So far, I have no complaints. The drives run cool and quiet, and my measured power consumption was lower than nearly all of my other drives. So far the performance is not noticeably different than with the 7200RPM drives it replaced, although the bottleneck in such a system is not likely to be the hard drive in any event.
Cons:
None so far, although I guess we'll see after the couple of years I'd expect these to last.
Overall Review:
Replacing the drives in the BA220 was a pain, but that's no fault of the WD drives.
