Question: planning purchasing two Western Digital 4 TB WD Red SATA III 5400 RPM M NAS Hard Drive WD40EFRX. Do I need cables, mounting hardware?
Document: I choose this drive because of two reasons, one it&#8217;s certified by Synology to work with their NAS and second because of the price which at the time was $159 versus the Western Digital 4TB Red WD40EFRX for $188. Now WD claims that their RED drives are better suited for NAS devices but after researching further I found in comparison to the Seagate drive that it&#8217;s mainly just a marketing ploy.
When one of our laptops died, I was reminded just how precarious our precious digital memories can be: digital photos and videos can be wiped out if you're not doing regular backups. Fortunately we were able to salvage the hard drive from the laptop without losing anything. But it was the incentive I needed to install an automated network-based backup system.Since this comes with no hard drive, I combined this unit with theWD Red 3 TB NAS Hard Drivefrom Western Digital.
You can sync it to a Skype account and have messages come across for various events, like login failures, hard drive issues, cooling problems, you name it. Very detailed notifications settings. Of course you can also set it to email you or SMS your phone.On the hard drive front, I'd highly recommend Western Digital Red NAS hard drives. They are awesome drives. Fast and quiet, and designed for NAS environments.
Total configuration to leave it the way I want it took me about a week, working a couple of hours per day.1. The product arrived + 2 Western Digital Red 2TB each drive that i ordered2. Installing the disks into the unit took me around 5/10 minutes3. Installing the software and connecting it to the network was quick too.4. That day the product arrived i left it overnight configuring the disks.
This is my fifth Synology NAS and I've been very happy with this 2 bay NAS. I use this NAS to backup my server and it's always fast and reliable. I've installed two WD 2 TB Red drives in it and it has run flawlessly for several months so far.
I bought my first item from Amazon way back in 2002. I have been a faithful customer over since. This is by far the best item I have ever purchased.I loaded in two 3 TB WD Red drives and have never looked back. I am utilizing all of the cool features of this NAS. Torrent Dowload station, VPN link to Eastern Euro country, Media server, Dropbox and a few others. This is a great device that was super easy to setup and even easier to use.
This product does everything I need it to do and more then I will ever need it to do. I do recommend if you are new to the NAS world (like me) do your homework. I found these two links to be helpful:[...][...]Installed two WD 3TB Red HDs in Raid 1. I did not backup the majority of my files until I got a good feel for how the NAS worked.
One of my drives (Raid 1) in my PC was started to flake. Like everyone, we have a ton of documents, music, pics, etc. Started getting more diligent with backups to be safe. Rather than just replace the PC drive(s) I thought I'd check out some options. decided on a NAS and this brand got serious kudos. Got the DiskStation and a couple Western Digital Red NAS drives and set it up mirrored.
I had given up on the built in Windows 7 backup. It kept running out space. Even though I had plenty on an external drive. So a friend recommended getting a Synology NAS. I asked how he used it, and said he backs up his files by hand, and keeps an iTunes media server on it.After installing the 2 Western Digital 3GB Red Drives, I found out that this NAS does MUCH more than I had expected.
When I got the diskstation it was easy to install the WD Red 3 TB NAS drive and it powered right up and appeared on my home network. But I couldn't log in to the diskstation on the network even though I could log on to the Disk Station Manager (DSM).
Answer: Everything is included with the Synology to mount standard 3.5 inch SATA drives. I used WD 3 TB Red drives in my box.
