Review: Works Great for NAS! - I bought two of these to use in a QNAP TS-212P NAS array, since it was on QNAP's approved drive list. I was a little nervous when I received the drives and the mfg date on the drives was in 2009, but they installed with no problems and I have burned them in for about 30 hours. They provide good response time in a RAID-1 set, and now my home files are secure and accessible from any device in the house. I get about ~400Mbps write speed to the drive pair on a GigE connection, and the full 100Mbps on a 100Mbps connection for a large file write. These drives are a little bit loud, but I like that they are an enterprise grade SATA drive, and I trust the Western Digital name since I have always had good reliability from their products. You really can't beat these for the price. I saved about $50 vs buying a pair of some other type of 1TB drive. UPDATE: Original post above was from December 2013. I just bought another pair of these drives in Aug 2021 to replace the two original drives that have been running flawlessly in my QNAP TS-212P for almost 8 years. I removed a drive, installed the new one, let it rebuild the mirror from RAID, and then did the remaining drive. Now I have two new drives and maybe another 8 years worth of flawless service ahead. Great product... Review: Great Value, For sure. - I had put together a RAID 5 array "just for kicks" on a workstation, but using the non-RAID "Blue" line of consumer 1TB drives which I had on hand. I decided I really liked the RAID set up so I determined to get real RAID drives (with the very important TLER set up for RAID) as that seems to be the biggest "uh oh" with RAID 5 using consumer drives. Ordered 3 of these based on the very good price. As other reviewers have noted, these are WD RE3 drives obviously produced for the DELL enterprise label. Mine were all sealed in static bags and brand new "raw" drives, without handling marks or use noted. The price was right and the product is good. I swapped the new RE3 drives one-at-a time into an existing RAID 5 array, which mean that each drive went through at least one or two full rebuild processes. Smooth as silk and great performance. Buyers' note A quick check of google will reveal this size of RE3 drive was introduced in 2008/9 so of course you should understand these are probably close outs and not likely full warranty units And at $50 a pop, that's just fine with me! The value proposition is very good. I'm so satisfied I just ordered three more just to have them on hand. ## Features - Capacity: 1tb - 32 MB cache - Serial ATA ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001IEXU68 | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,328 in Internal Hard Drives #18,116 in Computer Internal Components | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars (321) | | Date First Available | April 2, 2008 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 1.08 pounds | | Item model number | WD1002FBYS | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | Western Digital | | National Stock Number | 7025-01-578-8937, 7025-01-584-3207 | | Product Dimensions | 5.8 x 4 x 1 inches | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Western Digital - **Color:** Silver - **Compatible Devices:** Desktop - **Connectivity Technology:** SATA - **Digital Storage Capacity:** 1 TB - **Hard Disk Description:** Mechanical Hard Disk - **Hard Disk Form Factor:** 3.5 Inches - **Hard Disk Interface:** Raid - **Installation Type:** Internal Hard Drive - **Special Feature:** Enhanced Reliability Features, Cool Drive Operation ## Images ![Western Digital 1 TB RE3 SATA 3 Gb/s 7200 RPM 32 MB Cache Bulk/OEM Enterprise Hard Drive - WD1002FBYS - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61AfRnEzVrL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works Great for NAS! *by I***K on December 7, 2013* I bought two of these to use in a QNAP TS-212P NAS array, since it was on QNAP's approved drive list.

So I will say I like these drives, they were a little dated, but work most excellently. Make no mistake they were designed as storage drives, on an enterprise level, at which they do the job fantastically. I am not going to go to the trouble of calculating the kbs but I did a big transfer just last night, 27 files, about 24gb total in under 3 minutes on an esata connected drive caddy. It doesn't matter how fast really that your processor is during a transfer of that size, its all in how fast the drive can write, I was impressed, but still not in love:) ## Frequently Bought Together - Western Digital 1 TB RE3 SATA 3 Gb/s 7200 RPM 32 MB Cache Bulk/OEM Enterprise Hard Drive - WD1002FBYS - 24" 40-Pin 80-Wire Ultra ATA 2-Drive Ribbon Cable, Manhattan 332781, Model:, Electronic Store - NFHK SATA Disk to IDE/PATA 40Pin Motherboard Converter Adapter PCBA for Desktop & 2.5 3.5" Hard Disk Drive --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/1242459-western-digital-1-tb-re3-sata-3-gb-s-7200](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/1242459-western-digital-1-tb-re3-sata-3-gb-s-7200) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-23*
