Description

This bundle includes 3 WD Red WD60EFAX 6TB drives. This is a 3.5-inch internal hard drive suitable for a NAS in small companies and at home. With this bundle, you provide the NAS with 18TB of storage space in RAID 0, 12TB in RAID 5, and 9TB in RAID 1 setup. A WD Red is more silent and durable thanks to the built-in anti-vibration sensors. This drive works faster (7200RPM) when you write a lot of data and it works slower (5400RPM) when you don't use the NAS. In addition, the drive removes the read/write head from the disk surface as soon as you stop processing files. This way, it wears less quickly and your drive is more durable. This bundle is suitable for the following RAID setups:

RAID 0: Speed is doubled, but no data security.

RAID 1: Data security is doubled, but no increase in speed.

RAID 5: One drive works as a security net for the others, fast and secure.
