BEWARE OF WD REDS !!!
They *U*S*E*D* to have a good reputation. They are STILL marketed as
NAS/RAID drives but are pretty much guaranteed to dump your raid into an
unrecoverable mess once something goes wrong.
They've recently been moved over to shingle technology. Which means
delays in response time of maybe TEN minutes if you overload them and
they have to start a garbage collect.
If you don't want shingled drives, you need a Red Pro, Seagate Ironwolf,
or a Toshiba I think it's N300.
If you don't care about conventional/shingled, get something cheaper - a
Blue, or Barracuda, or whatever.
Cheers,
Wol
