  • Performance wise, it is obvious that the WD Red 4TB is not a fast hard drive, but it's not that slow either. As you can see from the benchmark results from above, read/write speeds are not that fast compared to other hard drives. Its rotational speed is o...

  • Excellent performance, Robust data safety
  • Enclosures need to be compatible with 6TB drives
  • The WD Red Pro is certainly a worthy investment for larger NAS systems that demand more storage space per dollar spent. The price tags on the Red Pro versus the Red may be something to think about, but the significant speed boost and reliability factor ...
