Anandtech tocmai ce-a facut un test comparativ pentru drive-urile de 6TB (Western Digital Red 6 TB [WDC WD60EFRX-68MYMN0], Seagate Enterprise Capacity 3.5 HDD v4 6 TB [ST6000NM0024-1HT17Z], HGST Ultrastar He6 6 TB [HUS726060ALA640]): AnandTech | 6 TB NAS Drives: WD Red, Seagate Enterprise Capacity and HGST Ultrastar He6 Face-Off.

Imi place cum se misca Seagate-ul (castiga clar in testele de performanta), dar cred ca WD Red castiga in termeni de silentiozitate, consum, temperaturi... cred ca e drive-ul ideal pt. un NAS.
