WD Green and Red
Hi all, I'm thinking of a couple of new drives for my NAS, 3TB. I know Reds are designed for NAS but my NAS would be used by a single user, as external storage. Not a massive usage. I am concerned ...
Got another question about WDC reds.
During my tests with 5 400GB Seagate Enterprise drives, the drives' temperature periodically rise over 45/46°C and the fan speeds up for a while till the temperature is back to normal. This happens when drives are idle too.
I was hoping the WDC Red drives were running a little cooler, in order to prevent the fan to speed up - at least when drives are idle.
Thanks
