I have a RAID-5 NAS with four WD60EFRX drives, will this AX play nice if used to replace one of the RXs?

Compared to the 4TB, this is slightly cheaper. I'm putting one in for a build I'm needing soon, so this works for me.

Not sure if it's true, but I heard the ones that go into the easystore did not meet specs to work as "true" Reds but do qualify to work as easystores? Is that what you meant by white label?

As for this deal, is there any reason, other than possibly warranty (and that is still a gray area) that one should go for these Reds over shucking...

I agree that 5400 rpm drives last longer but they should be 7200 rpm in order get the 'NAS' red label. Also, IMO the 7200 RPM drives are almost as reliable as 5400 rpm drives. In my workplace, we...

I've had a deal alert for a while for WD Reds. I bought two 8TB drives on Prime Day 2019 for $150/each. Just waiting for that price again. 6TB @ $130 doesn't seem that great in comparison.

white = red
but you're paying a premium here for the 3yr warranty vs the 2yr warranty with the easystore (plus saving the enclosure)

You will be limited to the speed of your wifi or eithernet, which means you will be tapped out long before you reach the full benefits 7200 rpm.

Raid 1 - requires two drives, I'll keep one as a backup should 1 fail somewhere down the road as identical drives makes replacement streamless.

There’s WD Red Pro that are 7200. Really depends on your needs. 7200 rpm drives have a high MTF as well.
