Western Digital has created a great drive with their RED 6TB HDD. It is designed specific for NAS usage and is a drive that is perfect for RAID setups. We saw great performance figures in all our benchmarks the drive also features a very low power consump...

The Western Digital Red 6TB is a hard drive and as such doesn't offer much design-wise, but why should it, it is a storage drive. Still, the sticker on the top has all relevant information you need in a layout that easy and fast to read. I would have like...
Great performance, Plentiful capacity, Much more affordable than enterprise 6TB disks
Not the absolute fastest disk performance, Early firmware misconfiguration
After solving the early firmware issue, the Western Digital Red 6TB is a great product. If you're building a NAS, or stuffing a desktop PC with double-digit amounts of storage with multiple hard disks in a RAID array, the Red series are the ones to go fo...

Abstract: Most of our avid readers of course have at least one SSD in their desktop and laptop, but for large volume storage you're still relegated to conventional hard disks. It's almost become a negative connotation - 'conventional' - and it really doesn't do t...
The WD Red drive comes in a variety of sizes from 750 GB all the way up to the 4 TB version we are reviewing here.This is one of the only 4 TB drives on the market today so if you need a lot of storage, and a good speed, and you plan on using the drive in...
We were already very much convinced about the qualities of the Red disks from Western Digital we tested earlier. The same holds for de 4TB model. The disk definitely isn't the fastest around, but that's not what is sets out to achieve in the first place...
