WD30EFRX RED series for non 24/7 operation

Hello, I’m planning to buy a new NAS and I want to equip it with WD RED series HD, preferable 3TB ones. But since these drives were designed to be on 24/7 and my system will be on like 20 hours per week only I was wondering if this will negatively affect the life span of the drives? Any experiences or recommendations on this? Best regards silica

Hi, don’t worry, if they can take 24/7 they can surely take 20 hours a week. :smileyvery-happy:
