Time Limited Error Recovery (TLER) for NAS/RAID usage.
Price premium much lower/insignificant compared to what it used to be for NAS/RAID drives.
Low power/Low temp.
Cons:
Warranty only 3 years (What happened to the 5-year warranties, WD?)
I've seen failures in many drives from Seagate, WD, and other vendors in the past. Hard drives fail. Even SSDs fail sometimes. That's why RAID configurations are so popular. All versions of RAID configuration (except for RAID 0) introduce redundancy, such that if any single drive fails, no data need be lost. Full redundancy can be regained by rebuilding the array with a replacement drive, theoretically keeping your data safe from single single points of hardware failure indefinitely.
These NAS drives go one step further in that their behavior is optimized for a RAID environment. In particular, Time Limited Error Recovery (TLER) allows them to rely on the redundancy built into the RAID controller and the overall array to handle the sorts of errors which will inevitably pop up at some point. This reduces risks to data that can be caused by the behaviors of regular desktop disks, whose designers optimized them for environments where there is no RAID array backup. I have been running RAID arrays regularly with desktop drives for over 6 years now, and it's been a pretty frequent occurrence where a drive would suddenly have to be rebuilt for no apparent reason. In all likelihood, the reason was just a few bad sectors on the disk, which happens all the time. The total failure rate of drives in a RAID has been a little above normal, but the total rebuild rate without total failure has been very high. Read up on TLER, and you'll understand why that is expected behavior with desktop drives but not with NAS drives. The total drive rebuild process is actually fairly risky to the integrity of the data, considering that in most configurations there is no redundancy while this is happening. Therefore, making sure that a total rebuild doesn't happen unless necessary is a pretty good idea if you want to protect your data. That's why I am upgrading my RAID arrays with these drives.
In response to the reviewer who complained that the WDIDLE3 issue affects these drives:
I just bought 4 of these drives in the 1TB version from Amazon. (July 2015) All are model WD10EFRX. I ran WDIDLE3 /R to read the current value of the timer on all four of them before connecting them to my RAID controller. All four came set to 300 seconds (5 minutes.)
This is a very reasonable value for most NAS/RAID usage, and certainly not as problematic as the 8 second timer that caused the well-known problems on some previous WD drives. If you're using these to mount an OS drive or a drive in Windows, that 5 minute timer will probably never be invoked. If you're using these on a 24/7 NAS or for non-OS storage in Linux like I do, that timer could lead to considerable power savings and reduced average temperatures, the latter of which will probably extend the life of the drive, not shorten it.
The only way I could see the 300 second idle timer being a problem is if you're running a script that causes disk access every 6 minutes (or 10 or 15.) i.e. if there's something that regularly forces spin-up right after the disk idle has gone into effect. In that case, WDIDLE3 is included on the ultimate boot CD version 5.3.5 and can be used to disable the timer. An idle timeout of 300 seconds is a pretty good feature in most cases, though.
P.S. I have four more 3TB versions of this drive in transit for my NAS (the 1TBs were for my linux desktop) I will check the default WDIDLE3 values on them as well and post here if they prove to be different.
It was packaged with adequate insulation and factory sealed. This one was made in Thailand on Nov 4, 2023, ordered on Nov 23 and received on Nov 29, 2023; so freshly produced.
5 stars for now.
Update... Was making a sound but I noticed it stopped when I held down my PC. So it seems like the drives rotates really fast and if parts in your case are just a little loose you will hear some noise. I opened up my case made sure everything around the drive was secured and so far no loud noise.
Top reviews from other countries
The drives themselves have passed extensive read/write tests without so much as a hiccup. One thing to note however, is that this hard drive tends to be a little nosier. More than likely due to additional platters compared to the 4TB variant. Also important to clarify that this review is for the CMR version.

More than likely due to additional platters compared to the 4TB variant. Also important to clarify that this review is for the CMR version.
Overall, these drives are great for NAS and highly recommended if you can find them!
Pro:
- CMR disk so its suitable for NAS
- Reliable for long time usage
- Sequential write performance between 200-83MB/s depending on the region being written (The farther away from the inside of the disk platters you go, the higher the velocity of the head thus resulting in faster speed)
Con:
- tends to get hot so need proper ventilation
- 5700 rpm compared to the red prod wich is 7200
- warranty is only 3 years for the red pro compared to 5 years for the Red pro
