Me dado buen servicio.

I bought 6 of these Western Digital 12TB Gold drives as replacements for 6 x 6TB Western Digital Red drives, as it was time to upgrade the size of my RAID 5 array and these Gold drives were one of the few on a list of compatible larger capacity drives for my now aging Synology 1813+ NAS.The WD Red drives served me very well, were quiet, and I had no complaints about them at all, so this was really a decision based solely on price (at the time of purchase, the 12TB Gold drives cost $229 each) and capacity. The equivalent Red drives were about $30-50 more a piece than the Golds at the time of purchase, so I went with the Golds.The conversion took about a week's time of removing a 6TB drive and letting it rebuild the array on the Gold drives (each Gold drive was formatted completely and then had a full SMART scan done on them, none of the 6 drives had any errors or defects).However, once I converted to having all 6 of the 12TB Golds in my array, I immediately noticed an uptick in the noise level, even during normal operation. The sound of these drives when they seek or perform any kind of scan and/or data scrubbing (all the drives generally aren't going unless data scrubbing or a full SMART scan is running) is much louder than the Reds. I expected an uptick in noise due to them being "Enterprise" (a.k.a. designed for a datacenter) and 7200RPM, but I was surprised at how audible the sound is. The attached video I took to give you an idea of the noise level. The amibiant sound can be ignored (fan hum and sound of a network switch) but the "cachunk"-ing you hear is all the seeking of the drives. I recorded it with my phone on top of the NAS directly in contact with it, and then from about a foot away from the NAS so you can get a sense of the sound. This was taken during normal operation (watching a video off the NAS from a single workstation).When it's doing data scrubbing you can hear my NAS from the hallway outside the room it sits in. Luckily it sits in an office and not in our bedroom or somewhere guests would normally be. However anyone who may have their NAS or server in their bedroom or near a workstation you use frequently would likely get annoyed by the constant sound of the seeking of these drives. If this sits in your basement or a closet somewhere, you'd probably have less of an issue of the sound. It also may be because I use a NAS rather than a server that might have more sound dampening built into it.Other than the noise, however, the performance of these drives is great. Not really a noticeable improvement over the Reds, but the price per TB and the extra warranty is awesome.I still highly recommend these drives, just be wary of the increased noise level, especially if you are moving from a non-Enterprise 5400/5900RPM drive to something like these.

Recensione per il 22TB.Disco affidabile, Western Digital e' garanzia di qualita', questa serie GOLD ha delle caratteristiche uniche: grande cache di 512 Megabytes, tecnologia OptiNAND per massimizzare la capacita', Armorcache per la protezione dei dati in caso di uno spegnimento improvviso, il disco e' immerso in elio che lo rende silenziosissimo e permette bassi consumi, ha una lunga garanzia di 5 anni, e la velocita' e' straordinaria, pensate leggendo da SSD scrive stabilmente senza cambi repentini di velocita' a circa 240 Mega/secondo (vedere foto).ATTENZIONE per evitare di ordinare un disco piu' piccolo di quanto serve, dovete notare che WD indica la capacita' dei dischi in modo diverso da come la indica Windows:1 Terabyte secondo WD (che rispetta il "S.I.") sono 10^12 bytes cioe' 1.000.000.000.000 bytes,ma Windows e tutti i computer usano il Tebibyte, spesso indicandolo erroneamente come TB.1 Tebibyte sono 2^40 bytes cioe' 1.099.411.627.776 bytes. Allora, per ottenere la capacita' REALE moltiplicheremo la capacita' di WD per il rapporto di quei due lunghi numeri in bytes, che fa 0,9 circa.Facendo un esempio: nel mio caso 22TB * 0,9 = 20TiB. Leggermente meno ma tutto regolare. Infatti5TB diventano 4,5TiB10TB diventano 9TiB15TB diventano 13.5TiB20TB diventano 18TiB Quindi piu' aumentate le dimensioni, piu' aumenta la differenza tra la capacita' dichiarata da WDe la capacita' reale indicata da Windows. Fate molta attenzione quando ordinate onde evitare sorprese!
