Below are reviews found on other web sites for this product submitted by customers.

URL: http://www.silentpcreview.com/WD_Red
Comment: Both the 3TB and 1TB version are the most energy efficient and quiet models we've tested in their respective capacities. Seek noise is almost nonexistent and vibration levels are excellent.

URL: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/red-wd20efrx-wd30efrx-nas,3248.htm
Comment: Western Digital's Red family is a well-rounded offering aimed at home- and SOHO-based NAS appliances. The Red drives aren’t as attractive once you step outside of Western Digital's target usage model of small business network-attached storage and into more demanding professional application
Posted by: AEO @07/27/12

Comment: "...the WD Red is a purpose-built drive that solves the NAS storage problem like no other drive does..."

Great price for a drive of this quality. Just be sure you have a 64 bit Windows system if you want to make 1 big GPT partition of 3 TB. If not, you will be limited to 2.2 TB partition on 32 bit system. (Read More)

If you run your drives 24x7 in a non-rack mount, this is the drive for you. Of course it is quite. And of course it is the size specified. It will be several years before people are able to comment as to how reliable these drives are. But if you are like me and sick of dead desktop rated drives, this one has the specifications you are looking for.

Good quiet disk for home nas. Got about 115MB/sec read/write with qnap 469l (almost max of gigabit link). Probably not the best for boot disk, but fast enough for nas solutions. Got defect disk, but very good service from ncix rma dept to get new one fast. Replacement is perfect. Very happy so far. (Read More)
