So I just noticed the Red line from WD which is being advertised as a NAS drive and somewhat inbetween consumer drives and the RE4 drives from what I can tell. Anyone here have any experience with those? I'm looking to add a 1-2TB drive for storage and backup of non critical files and the price on the Red's is quite attractive given that I can't even get RE4's here.
Reliability is more important than speed for me but I was never a fan of the green drives, always had a feeling they had higher failure rates than normal drives.
I guess it's too early to tell how reliable these will be but I don't feel like spending the cash for a Black that will only ever be used for storage/backup.
Anyway I would appreciate any opinions and input on this.
