September 6, 20223 yr Time to increase space and I also discovered a smaller drive just went out of warranty (3yr). So I'll yank the old drive and drop in a larger new one. The only difference I can see between the Plus and Pro is the warranty. Otherwise they seem to be the same. The Plus looks like 3 years and the Pro is 5 years. For a 10gb drive I'm not seeing the point of a $50-60 difference. Am I missing something?
November 25, 20223 yr Sorry, but I do not mean to hijack this thread, but I was wondering how does a WD Black compare with a WD Red Plus or WD Red Pro. I believe all WD Blacks are 7200 rpm with a larger cache (256mb vs 64mb). If anything is incorrect, please post the correction. So for Unraid is a WD Black better, same or worse? Thanks kindly....
November 25, 20223 yr WD Black should be very similar to WD Red Pro for performance and reliabilty, but Red Pro should have better vibration protection for multi disk use, if the marketing is to be believed, WD Black are geared more for desktop use.
