According to our internal hard drive HDD expert
The WD Red Plus 3TB is a 3.5-inch internal hard drive suitable for NAS in small companies and for the home. Thanks to the integrated anti-vibration sensors, the drive vibrates less, which means the drive is quieter and lasts longer. The drive also has a variable drive speed, which makes it work faster when you're reading and writing a lot of data, and rotate slower when you're not using the NAS. This allows you to save power. The drive also removes the reading and writing button from the disk surface as soon as you stop processing files. This way, it wears less quickly and your drive is more durable.

Initially I bought my NAS with 4 of these drives. After 3 months, the 4 disks broke down almost simultaneously. Some only had 800Gb capacity available. Coolblue's service, on the other hand, was excellent. Within the week I had received the new discs. now we are half a year later and I have problems with a disk again. After some net sniffing, I'm not the exception. This type of disk and specifically the 3Tb disks are apparently quite crash prone.
Hopefully this is of some use to you. :-)

I bought 4 of these drives, 3 of which died within 2 years. In my NAS are also Hitachi and Toshiba and they have been running for years. I think I've worn out about 50 drives in my life, but apart from some Samsungs years ago, I've never experienced such an unreliable drive.
In addition, for the price, these drives offer nothing noticeably extra compared to the competition, which are a lot cheaper and in my experience also more reliable.

Difficult to write anything specific about a hard drive. The logistical handling of the order is unprecedented. Within the hour already the notification that the product has been packed and shipped. HARDWARE.NL can learn something from that.
