Its true that this drives are slow as fuck?
Can someone with the 2/3 TB models post some diskmark?
Its true that this drives are slow as fuck?

I only have 4TB to test.

Blake Reed
Just stay away from WD and Seagate.
Adam Williams
Samsung 950 for comparison.
Jonathan Bennett
Not sure how burst was slower than average.
Julian Evans
WD acquired HGST so there aren't a lot of options out there.
My recommendation is that buy whatever is on sale, keep it at a stable temperature and don't power cycle it too much. pic related.

Are NAS drives even a real thing or are they just a meme. All I hear is "they are optimized for NAS storage" but when asked how, nobody can explain
Jaxson Wright
It's optimized for low power, high uptime use cases instead of random read/write speeds.
Christopher Hughes
Even if they did the WD branded drives somehow have higher failure rates than HGST drives.
Jaxon Garcia
Is there any real world benefit over a normal drive other than slightly lower power bill?
Jaxon Bailey
Yeah. In order to fit that much space they use Shingled magnetic recording, or something like that. It results in higher capacities but slower speeds
Josiah Price
>3tb
Jason Gomez
>not having a 3tb hard drive
Christian Cook
>SMR on 3TB drives
wat
Luis Cook
No, but you shouldn't use these drives for normal use cases.
Lower power user, volume and wear are always nice things to have in a nas server.
Cooper Ortiz
Daily reminder that you're likely getting limited by your m.2 slot in this case. The Samsung 950 can yield speeds nearly 3 times as much as that.
Jack Perez
You're supposed to raid NAS drives anyway and have a cache SSD for optimizing performance.
If you think NAS drives are like your typical desktop drive then you're doing it wrong.
Kayden Turner
The HGST drives are still manufactured by HGST.
Yes, it not dying after a year of running it 24/7 in RAID. I work for a NAS company. Desktop class drive failures are super common. Meme drives would be stuff like surveillance class drives.
Jonathan Adams
All I remember is that this brand used to be so bad they called it DEATH star.
Oliver Kelly
This is like 20 years ago though, user.
HGST fixed their game but kept the deathstar name for some reason

>7200 RPM
>It's faster than 5400 RPM drives!
Well no shit.
