Drive balance with Rotational Vibration (RV) sensors manage multi-bay vibration for long-term consistent performance and reliability Es capaz de manejar cargas de trabajo pesadas y ofrece tecnología de sensores de vibración rotacional (RV) para mantener un rendimiento óptimo. También cuenta con control de recuperación de errores y monitoreo de salud del disco (S.M.A.R.T.), que ayudan a preservar la integridad de los datos. I set about copying some 1.5Tb of data from my old drive to the new one which took almost 5 hours. I noticed though, how the NAS's internal fan would regularly ramp up to keep the unit cool now it had a warmer running 7,200 rpm drive sat in the bottom bay. This turned my otherwise silent NAS, an unobtrusive box sat in one corner, into a presence that reminded me of a distant hair drier. I shudder to think had I had all five bays populated with these drives, my NAS may have trouble with the heat under sustained load. If it did, it's 120mm rear fan would be running at max continually to try and stay cool. Prevention. Enjoy a seamless, superior NAS experience as IHM monitors your system environment and offers preventative actions to secure your data.

However, I've seen some reviewers using SMR type drives within their network attached storage (NAS) systems. This is not a good idea as using drives in RAID arrays often involves heavy write operations as data has to be written across multiple drives. Rebuilding an array using SMR drives is a big no-no, as build times will be dramatically increased and therefore placing more stress on the drives. This is why I use Western Digital Red drives for my five bay NAS. The WD Red range are designed for NAS environments where 24/7 365 day a year continual running is supported. However, on a slight tangent, be advised that I use the 4Tb WD Red drives and was considering an upgrade to perhaps the 6Tb Red models to expand the capacity of my NAS. Oddly though, according to the NAS compares table listing which drives are SMR and CMR, one model of the aforementioned drive is an SMR type. This is a baffling choice for a drive marketed for NAS operation.Tiene un diseño específico para funcionar en sistemas NAS que permite trabajar las 24 horas del día, los 7 días de la semana, lo que lo hace adecuado para entornos de almacenamiento en red que necesitan operar de manera continua.

Synology doesn’t seem to support these newer drives Ironwolf diagnostics like it did my 4TB drives. A disappointment but not a big issue and not Seagate’s fault.

Bear in mind that the difference between an SMR and CMR drive, certainly in the case of some WD drives, is a single letter in the model number. So, for example, the 2Tb WD Blue drive I have, model number 20EZRZ is a CMR drive. The 2Tb WD Blue 20EZAZ is a SMR version. It's safe to assume that most desktop class hard drives will be SMR, certainly many of those above 1Tb capacity.
