WD Red NAS Hard Drive WD20EFRX - hard drive - 2 TB - SATA 6Gb/s is rated4.50 out of5 by14.
Rated 5 out of 5 byGatorguy from Degraded after 13 monthsI have four of these drives total (two drives in two different NAS). Two of the four degraded at 13 months of use. This specific NAS with the failed drives is only used to backup at night, once a day. They other NAS is used to backup onsite every hour. Very disappointed that they didn't last any longer.

Rated 5 out of 5 bySteve64 from Excellent Drive for NASI recently increased the capacity of our RAID 5 NAS system and installed the WD Red drives. They are much faster than the old drives and have worked flawlessly since the upgrade. It's helpful to have the choice of a drive designed for this purpose in the WD Red product line.

Rated 5 out of 5 byJonH from Solid Server Class DriveAfter losing several WD green drives in a heavy read/write situation, I switched to the Red drive and have had no problems at all. I have 50+ of these in varying sizes in service. I ordered several from another retailer and 3 came DOA. I've never had that problem from CDW. Every drive has been fine.Yes, the Red server class drives are more expensive, but they are worth the little expense in reliability.

Rated 5 out of 5 bypbatlanta from Good average NAS driveWhen you don't want to spend too much on higher end, high availibility drives, nor too little on desktop drives, this is a great alternative.Works as expected. Too early to tell reliability on my recent batch. My older batch has been working fine since day 1.
