It is the possibility to distinguish whether the HD works with SMR or CMR storage technology.

Doch. plus heisst 5400rpm. Dazu auch: https://www.digitec.ch/de... und mehr Hintergrund: https://heise.de/-4888581

This is completely normal. This can be explained by the way an HDD works, because the read/write head of the HDD has to "jump" to reach the corresponding sectors. So if you "read" or "write" different things at the same time, the head will have to jump back and forth faster or more often. Defragmenting helps if the sectors of a file are not in a row ... then the clacking may become quieter. But the hard drive is still one of the quietest I have in my NAS.

Hello, yes, it should fit. In principle you can (since you have Raid 1) simply pull out 1 disc and put the new one in. Then you should see something about repair storage pool somewhere in the NAS storage manager. If you do this, the raid will be restored. This can take a few hours. It is best to simply wait about 24 hours. The new one will still be displayed with the capacity of the old one, don't get confused.
After the raid has been restored, do the same with the 2nd hard drive. Finally, expand the storage pool to 12Tb (also in the storage manager).

Yes, the Western Digital Red Plus 12 TB hard drive (WD120EFBX) has a standard SATA III (SATA 6Gb/s) connector that you can easily connect to your motherboard. This port is compatible with your ASUS TUF Gaming X670E-Plus Wifi motherboard.

Happy hour over again. It was probably more of a happy minute ;)
Hello Roger,
I've had a quick look. Here it looks like you would get the same:
WD Red Plus (8 TB, 3.5", CMR)
ciao.
Helpful answer
It depends.
If one disk is defective, you can replace that one.
If you want to increase the size of the raid, you have to replace all 4.

The WD Red (Plus) is simply optimised for NAS. But you can also use it on a normal PC without any problems.
According to the specs, the old one should be able to do 150MB/s, you can also test it at home, only SSDs can do 750MB/s and more.
Datasheet of the old one:

Difference to the new one will be SMR/CMR, there are already many threads about this, maybe this link will help you

Can't say, at the time I bought mine the 14 was either not yet available or it was (much) more expensive. I do not recall.

Hoi - The hard disk supports any file system (be it SMB, AFP, EXT1234x, ZFS etc etc) - the NAS specifies which file system is (or can be) written. The NAS has - like any other system, e.g. like your PC or your MAC - an operating system installed (otherwise we could hardly communicate here together in text messages) and this operating system can read file systems...
A NAS does nothing else, but then additionally makes the disk space available to other systems - for whatever - e.g. for Time Machine.
Thus: YES, you can use the hard disk for TM - a NAS for this is quite practical, 2TB will not be enough for you over time, 2 hard disks that mirror each other make sense...
If you have more questions: fire away, I'll try to answer them for you - LG
Hello
Should work, normally the NAS "regulates" this itself. The lowest RPM wins.
Let us know which NAS and if it worked.
Greetings
Hello,
1/ The main difference is that the red pro operates at a maximum speed of 7200 RPM, which is faster than the red plus.
Then, the pro makes less noise and is made to work in a business environment.
I believe the warranty is longer (check the digitec website).
To make sure the drive is compatible with your synology, check the sinology site.
I tested the red plus and it works very well on a QNAP TS-253-D.
2/ You can always add extra disks on a NAS
To start at least 2 disks 4 or 6T (depending on need) that work in mirror (Raid1)
Best messages,

Well, there are errors everywhere where work is done, it's great when you report errors.

This ending in the model designation "...EFZX" shows that this is a CMR hard disk.
SMR has the suffix "...EFRX".
7200rpm is about 20% faster.
5400rpm ~ 100mb/s, 7200rpm ~ 120mb/s

A year ago, there was a fair amount of negative press regarding WD Red hard drives because they reported incorrect RPM values to the SMART tools (programmes that read technical metadata from the hard drives). The new models fix these problems.

The question is not easy to answer. It depends on what kind of RAID you use.
