About This Product
    Product Name: WD Red Pro WD161KFGX 16TB 7200 RPM 512MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive - OEM
    Product Description: Pros: Trusted BrandTrusted ReliabilityPerformance see overall review.WarrantyRelatively quiet
    Cons: Expensive
    Overall Review: I purchased this HDD in March 2021 along with an WD Ultrastar 18TB. In my Raid boxes a Drobo and Synoloy I have started making a point of trying to by different brand / models HDD's as I add storage just in case a defect in one line will not destroy my entire storage array. I have found the Pro series to be slightly noisier than the Plus / original regular RED's and a bit quieter than the Ultrastars. Heat is kind of similar based one feeling the front of the HDD while is mounted in its RAID enclosure. The first thing I did after this hard drive arrived was check CrystalDiskInfo to check the drives specs and make sure it was all good. It had a power on count of 1 (since I powered it on) and everything else was perfect and new. Hard drive Speed Compare: All testing was done with an external enclosure using CrystalDiskMark and a direct file copy (about 4GB) to the disk from an internal SSD.WD Red Pro 18TB: Seq Read 267 MB/s, Seq Write 266 MB/s, Copy 260 MB/sWD Ultrastar HC550 18TB: Seq Read 269 MB/s, Seq Write 268 MB/s, Copy 274 MB/sWD Red Plus 10TB WD101EFAX: Seq Read 218 MB/s, Seq Write 219 MB/s, Copy 80 MB/sWD Ultrastar HC510 10TB: Seq Read: 259 MB/s, Seq Write 263 MB/s, Copy 250 MB/sWD Red 10TB WD100EFRX: Seq Read: 200 MB/s, Seq Write 116 MB/s, Copy 186 MB/sSpeed comparison for reference. This is just a small selection of my hard drives that I have owned and have tested.I think I will be very happy with this expansive HDD.

    Newegg has the 16TB WD Red NAS drive down to 239.99 with SSPCN326. $15/TB Not as low as we've seen the easystores but solid for an OEM red.

    So, does NewEgg handle this kind of hardware with the care it deserves? If it weren't for NewEgg's reputation in this regard, I'd have TU'd and pounced.

    Great drives, best price available if you need them now. I am yet to have one of these fail in my Unraid or Synology setups.

    Are you referring to their open box items? This particular drive is new, so it shouldn't have that concern.

    I assume they're talking about all of the Newegg drives that have been shipped rattling around in cardboard boxes with no or minimal packing material.

    IIRC the WD drives ship in their own brown boxes with bubble clamshells inside

    Delete this, duplicate post. Didn't realize this was posted 11 hours ago already.

    Promo code SSPCN326 for $40 off bringing total to $239.99.

    These are fantastic drives especially for NAS being CMR. They can be somewhat loud so keep that in mind.

    Yes but these drives have TLER so they if they get a bad sector they won't keep hammering at it trying to recover data, they expect the OS to fix it at the software level. If you're running them as single drives - keep backups.

    The Pro series is meant for enterprise use and is quite a bit noisier and doesn't spin down for power savings.

    The 12TB Plus is on sale for $180 at newegg, which comes to the same $15/TB.

    these'll be fine - just rated for 24/7 use

    not true, TLER works with the hardware - otherwise it behaves like a desktop drive if there's no support.

    More expensive, but also faster, 5 year warranty (instead of 2 for easystores), and you don't have to shuck them to use in a NAS.
