Nach einer kurzen Akklimatisierungsphase habe ich sie an ein USB-SATA-Adapter gehangen, um einen ersten Test zu machen. Einschalten - nix passiert? Similar to HD Tune, AIDA64’s built-in disk benchmarker is one of the easiest to run. The developer also keeps up on top of architectural trends so that you feel confident that the algorithms don’t get much better than this. This spreads beyond the storage benchmark, as AIDA64’s system stress-testers is one of the best, if not the best, out there. SMART hat über das USB-Adapter-Gedöns nicht funktioniert, also habe ich die Platte mutig ins laufende NAS geworfen. Hot-Plug sollte das Synology ja können. Platte 2 einfach rausziehen, die Platten im Rahmen ummontieren und die neue 6TB reinschieben. Fertig! Keine 5 Minuten für die Hardwaregeschichte. Beim Hochheben der Platte habe ich dann wohl gemerkt, dass sie läuft! Sie ist sehr leise, auch beim Anlaufen. Die 2TB-Seagate-Platte in meiner Apple Time Capsule 2TB (drahtloser Netzwerkspeicher und AirPort Extreme Basisstation) genau wie die Seagate Expansion Desktop STBV2000200 Externe Festplatte 2TB (8,9 cm (3,5 Zoll), USB 3.0) "schreien" beim Anlaufen kurz auf (klingt ein bißchen wie Darth Vaders Tie-Fighter). Hier bei der WD-RED: Nix zu hören. Kaum Vibrationen zu spüren. Bei Zugriffen auch keine unangenehmen Geräusche. Also bisher: Daumen hoch!

Wenn ich mir die Load-Cycles ansehe, scheint mir allerdings, dass die Platten fast ununterbrochen laufen. Dass sie nachts früher ausgegangen waren, hat sich wohl erledigt, da immer mehr Geräte auf das NAS zugreifen - auch nachts. Neuestes Update: Der Load-Cycle-Counter der neueren Platte hat sich nicht linear weiter erhöht. Und das ohne weiteres Zutun. Komisch, aber ok. Since drive 3 is a consumer drive it goes into a retry loop, repeatedly attempting to read and correct the bad sector.

Thank you!

We’re committed to providing the information that can help make an informed buying decision for as many uses as possible. Thank you for letting us know how we can do better. We will update our marketing materials, as well as provide more information about SMR technology, including benchmarks and ideal use cases. As we’re not too concerned with the performance of the PC as a whole, for our testing here we deselect all default tests and run only the “Secondary Storage” suite, with the hard drive in question as the chosen drive. Tests in this suite range from the loading of applications, running a Windows Defender scan, editing video, gaming and more. Reliability: Desktop drives aren’t typically designed for the demands of an always-on NAS environment. WD Red hard drives are designed to perform under tough conditions encountered in high-intensity 24x7 multi-user NAS environments. Do right by your NAS and choose the drive purpose-built for NAS with an array of features to help preserve your data and maintain optimum performance. Take the following into consideration when choosing a hard drive for your NAS:

It is important to choose a drive purpose-built for RAID-optimized NAS systems to ensure optimum performance and preserve your valuable data. Take the following into consideration when choosing a hard drive for your NAS: The table below lists the hardware used in our current hard drive-testing machine, which remains unchanged throughout all of our testing. Each drive used for the sake of comparison is also listed here. All of the transfers are conducted with the Windows tool ‘robocopy’, although our MB/s results are calculated manually as the result the tool supplies isn’t accurate. Drives are left unpartitioned (MBR up to 3TB; GPT for 4TB+) when tested with HD Tune and AIDA64, and are formatted with 4KB cluster sizes for PCMark 7 and real-world testing. Synthetic: PCMark 7Array starts off operating as normal, but drive 3 has developed a bad sector several weeks ago. This went unnoticed because the bad sector was part of a rarely accessed file. RAID Ready: WD Red hard drives are engineered with RAID error recovery control to help reduce failures within multi-bay NAS systems, unlike most desktop drives that are configured for generic use.

A hard disk's cache can help iron out performance differences, with the amount you get depending on the drive's capacity. With the 10TB drive, you get a whopping 256MB of cache; 8TB drives have 128MB of cache; and 6TB and below have 64MB of cache. In comparison, the Toshiba N300 range has a spin speed of 7,200rpm and a 128MB of cache across the line. WD Red 6TB review: Speed and performance Error recovery controls: Desktop drives are not traditionally designed for RAID environments and have controls that prevent the RAID controller from assisting in the event of an error which can cause the hard drive to drop off the RAID after a period of time. Rebuilding a RAID often requires several hours and can have a significant impact on downtime and productivity.

An den unten stehenden Daten sehe ich, dass sich die Laufzeit zwar verdreifacht hat, die Load- und Start-Stop-Cycles aber nicht. Warum nicht? Laufen die Platten inzwischen im Dauerlauf durch? Ist das ein neues Feature im DSM? Oder greift hier 24 Stunden am Tag einer aufs NAS zu? Hm - dann macht sich das sicher auch im Stromverbrauch bemerkbar. :-/ Der Load-Cycle sowie der Start-Stop-Counter schnellen in die Höhe - das neue NAS scheint wieder regelmäßig schlafen zu gehen. Komisch. Aber für den Stromverbrauch schon ok. Alle anderen kritischen Werte der Platten sind auf Null - null Fehler. Western Digital partners with a wide range of NAS system vendors for extensive testing to ensure compatibility with most NAS enclosures.
