By now, there aren't many surprises when testing Westen Digital's RED 8TB NAS drive. It has been on the market for a while, but that doesn't mean that it isn't worth an extra view and review. We all know that drives don't perform the same in each capacity...

Not the fastest 10TB drive
If you need a massive amount of array capacity and want to spend less on drive racks, you've got a stark choice between the WD Red 10TB and the Seagate IronWolf 10TB or 12TB options. If it comes down to price this drive wins, but the IronWolf disks are a...

Despite the fact that there are only three hard disk drive manufacturers left, you have a lot to choose from when you're looking for a new drive. It is not just about prices either. Though SSDs have outperformed hard drives for a long time now, there are...

We've been impressed with the latest incarnation of the WD Red range of drives. If you need smaller or larger capacities than rival Toshiba offers or want the best performance, the WD Red line-up is an excellent choice...

If you already have a NAS at home or in your small business, then you probably would rather not have to buy a new appliance in order to increase storage.Thankfully, then, with the new WD Red 8TB a 2-bay NAS device like my QNAP TS-251 could store 16TB with...
