About this product
The Western Digital WD Red NAS Hard Drive is a new 4 TB internal desktop HDD, designed with a 3.5-inch form factor for PC compatibility. It features a SATA III interface, a 5400 RPM rotation speed, and a 64 MB cache. This drive is part of the WD Red product line, known for NAS applications, and also notes a 'Hybrid (HDD/SSD)' feature which is unusual for a pure HDD. It offers a read speed of 500MB/s and a transfer rate of 1200 Mbps.
Our take
This WD Red 4TB drive is presented as new in box and is a solid choice for NAS setups where reliability and consistent performance are key. The 5400 RPM speed is standard for Red series drives, balancing power consumption with continuous operation. The 64MB cache is on the smaller side compared to some other NAS drives, which might slightly impact performance in heavy multi-user scenarios. The listed 'Hybrid (HDD/SSD)' feature for an HDD-only drive is a bit confusing, so potential buyers should verify. For a 4TB capacity, it's a dependable option if the 'new in box' status is a priority over raw speed.
