Your array's rebuilding again, and that desktop drive you threw in as a stopgap is starting to click at 2am. You need storage that was actually built for the rigour of a 24x7 NAS, not repurposed PC parts.
This is the WD Red Pro 14TB. CMR recording means no random write stutters when your RAID is juggling parity across multiple bays. 7200RPM with a 512MB cache keeps throughput steady whether you're pulling a 4K video file or running a virtualisation stack.
NASware 3.0 handles the workload patterns a standard drive just wasn't tested for — sustained writes, vibration in multi-drive enclosures, the lot. Rated at 180TBW and designed for up to 24-bay NAS systems.
5-year warranty from Western Digital. One unit in stock right now.
