Here is what I found:
1. The drives were well packed and protected. Even so, they were easy to remove from the packaging.
2. The drives installed easily and were immediately recognized by the NAS and added to system.
3. The drives are quiet and their temperature is only about 3 degrees higher than the 1 TB drives when in heavy use.
4. Drive access is very good and I am pleased with their performance.
All in all, I would highly recommend these drives if you have a need for this type of drive. Keep in mind that a NAS drive has higher ratings than a desk top drive and will usually cost more for that performance and reliability.
I often write at about 109 MB Per Second to the NAS. I can pretty much peg the 1gb Switch when writing drives so in essence I really cant go faster than the speed of the LAN.
Very Happy with these drives! I highly recommend!
1) Drive 1 Failed within 2years and back then they had advanced replacement with a CC hold and this was a decent replacement in good time - Main issue here is the unreliability of the WD RED Pro NAS drives
2) Drive 2 Failed 3 months ago and the Warranty replacement for this has been a nightmare, for advance replacement they now charge $25 non-refundable and you have to pay for postage for shipping the drive to them, alternate was to shipping them the faulty drive and once they receive they will then ship a refurbhised drive to me, its been 2 months and absolutely no response from customer service
3) Main Issues -
a) How their top of the line WD RED PRO Drives are so unreliable that twice I lost every thing on my NAS (fortunately I had backed that up)
b) Warranty replacements are a big farce with WD they make it extremely painful and they are as unreliable as their Drives no
c) There is "Zero" empathy for potential data loss of their customers
d) A company that loses its ethics and has "Zero" empathy for their customers, it is only a matter of time before they have to Shut SHOP, the BIG and MIGHTY have fallen when Customer Service has been poor, WD you might be BIG now but the FALL is coming ...
I'm switching to another company for all my hard drive needs from here on ...

come storage, ho notato che questo è più veloce nella scrittura
del 4 Tb Purple sara una mia impressione, ma per essere un hard disk per NAS fino a 16 vani, mi sembra che scaldi troppo l'ho attaccato
esternamente via USB 3.0 per trasferire 1.30 TB ma toccando la superficie se non tolgo la mano me la brucia, silenzioso è silenzioso.
Spero che la Western Digital non mi deluda, visto ch'è la prima volta che tocco un disco esterno ad essere così caldo. Tant'è che vado tranquillo per la serietà di Amazon e la garanzia di 5 anni della Digital
D'altro canto ho nel PC. 4 dischi W. Digital.
Imballo questa volta perfetto. oltre a 2 supporti che lo tengono sospeso nella sua scatola, a sua volta inserita in una seconda scatola tipo matrioska.
Brava Amazon
Ich möchte folgende Beobachtungen anmerken:
1. Die WD4001FFSX sind mindesten bei Zugriff deutlich lauter als die WD20EARS. Die WD20EARS brubbelten fast unhörbar vor sich hin, die WD4001FFSX dagegen haben das für Serverplatten typische knackige Spurwechselgeräusch. Wenn ich das NAS wie in der vorigen Wohnung im selben Zimmer, wo ich am Computer arbeite, hätte, könnte es mich stören. Jetzt steht es im Keller, da ist es mir egal.
2. Die WD4001 werden gefühlt deutlich wärmer als die WD20EARS, obwohl der Lüfter des NAS anscheinend höher als vorher dreht. Auch das NAS meldet jetzt 38°, vorher waren es meiner Erinnerung nach 33°. Zwar ist den Spezifikationen nach der Leistungbedarf höher, aber dass es sich so signifikant bemerkbar gemacht, hatte ich in diesem Ausmaß bei einer modernen NAS Platte nicht erwartet. Ich werde aber noch einmal die alten Platten ins NAS stecken, um den Unterschied mit bewusst wahrgenommen Zahlen zu bestätigen. Es könnte auch sein, dass die Platten durch die Dauerbelastung bei der Inbetriebnahme stärker aufgeheizt wurden. Wie auch bei dem Laufgeräusch macht dieser Unterschied mir aber aktuell keine Sorgen, da der Keller das ganze Jahr über seine konstanten 19° hat. Bei Umgebungstemperaturen von über 30°, wie ich sie in meiner vorigen Wohnung im Sommer hatte, könnte dies auch schon heikler werden.
3. Die WD4001FFSX sind deutlich schneller als die WD20EARS. Der Rebuild nach dem Austausch der ersten Platte dauerte mehr als 8 1/2 Stunden, wahrscheinlich begrenzt durch die Leseleistung der WD20EARS, der Rebuild nach dem Austausch der zweiten keine 4 1/2h.
Anmerken möchte ich noch, dass die ursprünglichen 1GB RAM nicht ausreichten, um die Expansion des Volumens von 2TB auf 4TB durchzuführen. Ich musste das NAS durch Austausch des einzigen SO-DIMMs auf 2GB aufrüsten. Während des Resize wurden bis zu 1,65GB RAM belegt. Durch das Öffnen des Gehäuses geht allerdings eine eventuell noch vorhandene Garantie seitens QNAP verloren.
Ob ich diese Platten auch in einem Synology DS409 als Ersatz für die dort eingebauten WD20EARS verwenden werde, bin ich mir nicht sicher. Die WD4001FFSX haben mir bezüglich Geräusch und Leistungsbedarf ein bißchen zu sehr den Touch von klassischen Server-Platten. Das mag beim TS-239 Pro II mit seiner höheren Rechenleistung bei Einsatz von Apps noch gerechtfertigt sein, beim Upgrade des DS409 werde ich aber wohl auf die WD50EFRX zurückgreifen.
You do hear it turning - I wouldn't put it in a NAS that is near my bed - other than that, no problem what so ever
So the hard drive was able to move in its package, which is not good at all for a HDD.
However everythings seems fine until now. And good price.
Edit. Package have been improved since my first order. My last two orders were very well protected.
So far everythings work well. I recommand !
Hatte gedacht sie wäre leiser, deshalb ein Sternchen Abzug.
Von der Performance her ist sie jedoch megaklasse und selbst wenn das NAS 5 HD-Aufnahmen gleichzeitigt macht und ich noch nen Film schaue, gibt es keine Hänger.
Also: Kaufempfehlung!
UPDATE:
Habe die Platte nun in ein QNAP 453pro NAS umgbaut und hauchdünne Gummipolster nur an den Befestigunglöchern aufgeklebt. Und siehe da: Deutlich leiser, fast nicht hörbar. Es scheint also doch mit von der restlichen Hardwareumgebung abzuhängen. Somit auf 5 Sterne "upgegraded"!
