Description

Description

The Western Digital Red NAS is a 3.5 HDD hard drive, with a capacity of 8TB and rotational speed of 5400 RPM. This speed is recommended for storing data that is not frequently used (e.g. for backups).
It operates with the communication protocol SATA III and is recommended for home use. It is the most modern SATA standard and the motherboard must support it for the disk to operate at its maximum capabilities. It can be connected without any problem to SATA II ports, but it will work at lower speeds.
For installation in a desktop computer, you will need a SATA III data cable and an available SATA port on the motherboard. You will also need an available power supply cable for the SATA device from the power supply.

  • Capacity: 8000GB
  • Form Factor: 3.5"

Use

NAS

Disks for use in NAS (Network-Attached Storage) systems that provide access to data from all devices on a network. They are designed for continuous operation with other such disks in RAID configurations to protect data from failures.

Product Details

Capacity
8000 GB

Capacity

The amount of data that a hard disk can store. 2TB and 4TB are the golden ratio of cost and capacity. For simple use, 1TB is likely sufficient. For reference, a 1TB hard disk can hold approximately 250,000 photos taken with a 12MP camera or 250 movies.
Communication Protocol
SATA III

Communication Protocol

Hard drives communicate with the computer through a protocol.

There are two protocols for HDD hard drives, SATA (for simple use) and SAS (high reliability for corporate use).

SATA III

A modern hard disk connection standard that offers twice the maximum speed compared to SATA II.

The majority of hard disks use this standard.

The motherboard must support it for the disk to operate at its maximum potential.

The most important feature along with capacity is that the faster the rotation speed of a hard disk, the faster the access and storage of data it can provide.

The slowest hard disk drives (HDD) are typically used for storing large volumes of data that are not frequently accessed (e.g. for backups). They are not recommended for installing programs and games.

Cache size

Intermediate temporary memory between the disk and the computer, allowing the hard disk to provide faster and more immediate access to data. It does not have any particular benefit for the average user.

    Τον έχω τρεις μήνες τώρα σε ένα κουτί NAS. Δεν είναι πολύ γρήγορος αλλά αυτό το ήξερα όταν τον αγόρασα. Είναι σταθερά 5 με 6 βαθμούς πιο ζεστός από έναν WD Red 4TB που έχω, αυτό δεν το περίμενα και θέλω να δω πως θα είναι το καλοκαίρι με τις ζέστες.
