Review: Acheté pour mettre dans mon NAS à côté de 2 disques WD red pro et d'un disque WD black, je conseille d'acheter du red pro si vous voulez faire comme moi. En effet, le gold vibre, et c'est d'ailleurs spécifié chez WD : le red pro est dédié aux NAS car il protège des vibrations. Pas le gold. Sinon c'est un bon rapport qualité prix, mais je pense qu'il va finir dans mon PC en remplacement d'un wd dark qui va aller dans le NAS à la place (pas de souci de vibration avec mes 2 wd dark). Review: Tenuto conto della qualità indiscutibile della serie gold, il prezzo è contenutissimo: inutile spendere meno e rischiare di perdere dati. Il marchio poi è una garanzia. ## Features - Optimize your storage for your business with a full portfolio of enterprise-class WD Gold HDDs in capacities up to 24TB(1). | (1) 1TB = 1 trillion bytes.
