About this product
The WD Sentinel DS6100 is a robust small business storage server, offering an upgraded 32TB effective storage capacity from 16TB drives in a RAID configuration, with 16GB of ECC RAM and an Intel 2.5 GHz processor. This tower unit features integrated NAS functionality, two Gigabit Ethernet ports, and USB 3.0 connectivity for external devices.

The system is designed for reliability with ECC memory and RAID storage controller.
Our take
For a small business needing a dedicated network storage solution, this WD Sentinel DS6100 looks quite capable. The 32TB (effective from 16TB drives) capacity is substantial, and the inclusion of RAID support is crucial for data integrity. I appreciate the 16GB of ECC RAM and the Intel 2.5 GHz processor, which should provide a solid foundation for server tasks. The two Gigabit Ethernet ports are good for network throughput. It’s an upgraded unit, which is a bonus, though the 3-month manufacturer warranty is a bit shorter than I'd prefer for a business-critical device. Overall, it's a powerful and reliable option for local network storage.
