Customer Reviews for WD - Red Pro 16TB NAS Internal Hard Drive

Found it was very easy to expand storage inside my PR 2100 Raid1 storage box. I went from 8 TB to 16 TB and it took the system 18 hours to transfer all data. Process was: 1. Log into drive dashboard. 2. Turn off all installed apps. 3. Click on storage, auto rebuild on, RAID Mode 1, then Expand Capacity, and press Next. 4. Follow on-screen instructions. 5. Turn apps back on and you are done! Note that you will have to keep logging back in due to dashboard time outs in order to check progress of storage expansion.

In my TrueNas setup

Installed 8x of the 16TB into my TrueNas box. Upgraded from 8TB drives to these, RAIDz2 setup, 83TB of usable storage. I suspect this amount of storage will last a good 8 years before I could need the next upgrade. Been 2 months so far and no problems, and knowing WD I probably won't have any.

After one month the drive has performed as expected. No issues during installation or formatting. Bought 2 16Tb drives to use in Synology nas, using Synology Hybrid RAID.

Western Digital has been my go to drive for consistency and reliability. While not perfect - their drives deliver when i need them and when an issue occurs - i know that i have a 5 year warranty to cover me.

Purchased 6 of these and installed them in a Synology NAS. Everything went smoothly and they have, so far, performed as expected. Running non-stop for about a month so far.
