Hi forum !

 

      I was wondering if I install 4 x 1TB WD Red’s inside my 4 bay enclosure, will they fail ?  I heard from a lot of people that the REDS will fail due to there variable speeds.  But I want to hear your opinion guys :slight_smile:

      Also, what WD hard drives would you guys recommend me to use in RAID 5 setup ?

On the Blackblaze blog were given statistical values of drive failures with Hitachi showing best results.
