  • Western Digital ha proposto quello che gli americani chiamano "Tweener", un qualcosa che sta nel mezzo, un compromesso. Perchè di questo i Nas hanno bisogno, di un compromesso fra prestazioni e consumi, per il quale WD ha trovato la quadratura del cerchio...

  • La famiglia Western Digital Red è un'offerta a tutto tondo pensata NAS per casa e ufficio. I punti di forza dei dischi rigidi sono le basse temperature di esercizio, i consumi più contenuti e la rumorosità modesta grazie alla rotazione dei piatti a 5400 R...

  • Gute Performance, Günstiger Preis, Beeindruckende Zugriffszeiten
  • Für RAID weniger geeignet
  • Die preisgünstige 4-TByte-Variante der WD Red überzeugt im Test mit guten Transferraten. Sie kann zwar mit der kostspieligeren Konkurrenz nicht mithalten, im Bereich der 4-TByte-Speicher aber kann die WD-Platte sich sehen lassen. Wegen der SMR-Technologie...

  • Die 6-TByte-Variante aus der Reihe Red von WD liefert im Test solide, zum teil sogar verblüffend gute Ergbnisse. Die Transferraten der SATA-HDD bewegen sich auf einem guten Niveau im Mittelklassenbereich, die Zugriffszeiten fallen sogar extrem kurz aus. A...

  • hohe Lese- und Schreibraten, hohe Speicherdichte, leiser und kühler Betrieb, geeignet für Dauerbetrieb und RAID,
  • deutlicher Aufpreis für hohe Kapazität,
  • Mit der WD Red 12 TB stellt Western Digital speicherhungrigen Anwendern noch mehr Speicherplatz pro Laufwerk bereit. Wer aktuell dabei ist ein Hochkapazitäts-NAS-Server aufzubauen, freut sich natürlich über maximalen Speicherplatz pro Laufwerk.Die Verarbe...
