I wouldn't go putting black drives in any type of NAS environment. Though they get the 5 year warranty, they get hot and cramped in such a close environment, it's not good for the life of the drive....

I know the red drives are slower but I find the noise of black and RE4 drives unbearable. Will running the red as a primary drive cause some sort of pre-mature failure or something?

So the same reason you don't want to buy a 2.5" black drive for laptop also? Because most laptop harddrive area is cramped and black drive (even 2.5" one) will get hot and die quick?

Laptops are different. Its just a single drive. NASs have multiple drives, all generating a lot of heat in a cramped environment

No, use WD Blacks. (or just replace the Blues if you'd rather.) Reds aren't suitable.
It's not that you can't install them or they won't "work," it's just that they're intended for use in a RAID...

This is a pretty good storage drive. I have this on my spare box that's on 24/7 writing webcam videos and it's been solid. I also have various backups on there.
