WD EX2 NAS with WD Green drives for work server and library?


Recommended Posts

I recently bought a Synology DS215j with WD Reds after having my eye on one for ages. A 2-bay NAS with remote access is definitely a good purchase. I've been enjoying it a lot so far. Haven't noticed any lag in file saving etc. and the ability to access files remotely has been a lifesaver on a couple of occasions. Along with a 5-port Gigabit plus switch, the home office is working quite well now :)

Not sure where I've read that regular WD RED (As opposed to RED PRO, which are different altogether) are just re-wired Greens.

It might work, and if not, you can use WIDDLE3 utility and set them to work similarly (and pretend to be) Reds.

 

But I wouldn't got this trouble and just use the correct ones right away as Stephen suggested.
