Hmm, interesting. Might save some grief with windows always kicking the green ones out of a mirror and telling me its at risk every second week or so.

Interesting, thanks. I have been reading up on NAS options recently, as I will be putting one as part of my network overhaul in a few months. Hopefully, pricing will be back to its pre-flooding trajectory by then.

Western Digital Red: NAS-Specific SATA 6Gb/s Drives, Reviewed

http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/red-wd20efrx-wd30efrx-nas,3248.html#

Hardware Information QNAP TS-112

Total Memory: 249.6MB
Free Memory: 170.3MB
System Temperature: 43°C/109°F

Given a WD Red drive operates at around 31C, my WD Black drive could be consider to be running a bit on the warm side at 44C.
