> Now I can be confident in what I'm getting when I buy a Western Digital drive. Good for them!
Are you confident that you'll get a drive that can work in a NAS when on the very same blog page they claim "WD Red HDDs are ideal for home and small businesses using NAS systems" and, indeed, on the data sheet[1], they claim that WD Red drives are "the hard drive of choice for 1 to 8 bay systems"?
At the very least they need to fix the data sheet; that's where I go to assess a drive's capabilities, not a vague blog post.
