I purchased 6 x 8 TB WD Red drives to replace my current 6 x 3 TB WD Red drives in my FreeNAS server. I'm running the latest version FreeNAS-9.10-STABLE-201606270534 (dd17351). The drives were immediately recognized. I let them idle for a few days and then started to replace one drive at a time in my ZFS RaidZ2. Resilvering is taking 12 hours per drive. I imagine that this is a fairly good/intensive test for each drive as it resilvers. The FreeNAS server is running on an ASRock Rack C2550D4I with the latest BIOS, latest BMC, and latest onboard controller software. I replaced my RAM before starting the upgrades - went from 16 GB of non-ecc DDR3 2133 MHz to 32 GB of ECC DDR3 1600 MHz. Zero issues so far and i've replaced 3 drives with the 4th resilvering currently. All 12 drives are plugged in to the motherboard, once the array is replaced and has automatically grown (taking a leap of faith on what FreeNAS says it will do) i'll disconnect and remove the old 3 TB drives. Power consumption increased 42w total for the additional 6 drives. I imaging resilvering is increasing the power usage a little bit, but i'm very pleased. I build for 3 years, to align with drive warranty, these fit well.
-Performance is about what you'd expect for a 5400 RPM drive
-SMART seems to reporting drive state accurately
-3/8 drives ordered have showed re-allocated sector counts that have been creeping up month-to-month and eventually required replacement
-Installed in a Synology DS1815+ w/ infrequent periods of heavy write activity but mostly just brief read activity during business hours
-Two batches of drives showing failures
