Re: Western Digital Reds

I thought all Hard Drives are designed to work 24/7, I never turn my desktops off.

Interesting, the site says ;

Quote:
WD Red drives may not be suitable for higher workload environments. For ZFS file systems and overall NAS system compatibility, we highly recommend WD Red Plus drives, which are optimized for higher workloads.
and yet, the next bit seems to [somewhat] contradict this ;

Quote:
Since your NAS system is always on, a reliable drive is essential. With an MTBF of up to 1 million hours, the WD Red drive is engineered to tackle 24x7 environments.
So, take your pick, it seems to be based on "workload".
