Western Digital Red Plus 12TB Internal Hard Drive - WD120EFBX

Fast shipping, great packaging. No bad sectors. My NAS is running great.

Having a QNAP NAS box, I have found the WD Red Plus drives to be very stable and solid in its performance. currently have 6 drives and have not had an issue with any, dating back to 2015 for the 6TB drives and 2020 for the 12TB drives.

Quiet and operated as expected. Zero installation issues.

Bought four to load up a new Synology 923+ NAS. Delivered quickly, fair price, so far they are working fine as I transfer files onto them. I hope they have stopped the ridiculous practice of telling users they are worn out after 3 years regarless of whether they really are (hint, they're not). Previous purchases have shown these to be better than Seagate, more reliable. We'll see.

I upgraded my MyCloud EX2 Ultra from a 3 TB RAID drive to a 12TB RAID drive with two WD Red Plus drives. The drives were delivered promptly and I was able to perform the upgrade using the instructions provided online. My 3 TB drive was nearly full so I was concerned that I would lose data, which is why I was and am continuing to use a RAID drive. The new drives are performing without issue.

Just as expected. 12tb for storage is perfect. Got rid of 4 drives for this one. I will be buying a gaming HDD soon. My PLEX server is now happy.

These work great and they are really quiet! Came packaged well.

I have purchased 14 12TB drives in the past 6 months to put into my home server. I also ran WD Dashboard on both short and extended test(s). I ran into a problem with one disk having a Reallocated Sectors Count error and was replaced by WD without incident. Will purchase again.

You would think as you go up in size in a given line of hard drives they get more power hungry and noisy but not with the WD Red Plus. It's the opposite of common sense. The 12TB WD120EFBX is much quieter and more power efficient than the 10TB and 8TB versions in the same line of drives! The WD101EFBX 10TB WD Red Plus, for example, is a completely different drive than the 12 TB version. The 10TB and 8TB drives are really HGST drives, not native WD drives, like this 12 TB version. If you look closely, even WD's own specs show the 10TB makes far more noise, consumes significantly more power, and hence runs hotter, than the 12 TB and larger versions which are helium filled. The 10 TB and 8 TB drives are an inferior cheaper air filled design. They are noisy even at idle making a "rushing" noise much like a noisy desk fan. There are many complaints about this issue in various reviews and forums. Thankfully the 12TB version, and even the 6TB version, are true WD helium filled drives that are quiet, run cool, and a MUCH better option. But WD only gets 3 stars for slapping a WD Red Plus label on anything they want in this line of drives with serious inconsistencies. How can WD claim all the same features, benefits, etc, for completely different drives, designed by different companies, depending on which size you choose?

Excellent quality! These 7200rpm WD RED HDDs considerable improvement over the 5 x 3TB 5400rpm WD RED I previously had installed in my Drobo-5N2!

HAVENT RECEIVED THE HARDDRIVES SO HOW COULD TRY THEM OUT?

Think things would be better if my PR4100 would quit locking up in the middle of a file transfer.

Never got it to work with my computer, looks like a faulty product. Compatability is fine, just won't work.

There is not much to say with this hight end HDD, it is doing what is designed for. WD brand is well know for quality products by far. I would recomended this HDD to any one that need storage for any kind material. I using this for Plex server with Deep Freeze faronic protection for any kind of attack. That is military grade protection and virus or malware proof 100%.
