Review: Ridiculous price but a good drive - Just performed an extended Smart (S.M.A.R.T) test on this 20TB drive via DSM on my Synology DS220J NAS. Test reports the drive is healthy and total power on time was 0, as you'd expect for a brand new drive. So all is working well. I purchased this drive from desertcart and they delivered it too. Packaging was sufficient but really, for an item of such high value, I wish they would do better. It essentially came in a cardboard box with some brown paper used to pad it out - only on one side of the box though - should be on both, and at the sides! Fortunately though, the WD box itself is fairly well packaged with some plastic inserts to hold the drive in place and prevent it making contact with the edges of the box itself. The box was also sealed with a clear plastic label which looked original to me. The drive itself was within an antistatic bag. So the drive is packaged in the WD box quite well - desertcart, not so much. But it arrived in good condition and it's working - that's all that matters. As for the price - the only word I can use to describe it is 'ridiculous'. Not only in the sense that AI data centers are pushing HDD prices up across the board, but the price on desertcart seems to change every five minutes. I won't say any more than that as this review will probably get blocked but desertcart has a 'price history' feature, which I'd encourage you to use. I've never had a WD NAS grade drive before so can't comment on longevity, but my expectations are that this should last at least 5 years and if that proves not to be true, you can guarantee I will come back and update this review! Review: WD Red Pro 8TB NAS storage - So, I recently intall the 8tb spinning disk into my home storage server. It's a pretty hefty drive, specifically designed for this kind of continuous operation. I've been testing it out for a while now, and so far, it's been a champ. No weird noises or slowdowns to report. I'm pretty pleased with how it's handling all the data. ## Features - Optimized for NAS with NASware Western Digital’s exclusive NASware technology fine tunes drive parameters to match NAS system workloads, which helps increase performance and reliability. - Designed for Continuous Operation WD Red Pro hard drives are designed to handle the rigorous demands of high-intensity 24x7 multi-user NAS environments and increase system durability. - Tested for Dependable Compatibility Western Digital partners with a wide range of NAS system vendors for extensive testing to ensure compatibility with most NAS enclosures. - Protected against Excessive Vibration WD Red Pro drives include Rotation Vibration (RV) sensors that anticipate and proactively counteract disturbances caused by increased vibration. By dispersing excess vibration across the drive chassis, turbulence is minimized, performance is maintained and drives are protected. - Built to Absorb Shock WD Red Pro hard drives include a multi-axis shock sensor to detect subtle shock events and automatically compensate with dynamic fly height technology to further protect the drives in NAS enclosures. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0DYQH1N48 | | Best Sellers Rank | 10,168 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) 20 in Internal Hard Drives | | Box Contents | Hard Disk | | Brand | Western Digital | | Brand Name | Western Digital | | Cache Memory Installed Size | 512 | | Color | 26TB | | Compatible Devices | Desktop, laptop, smartphone, tablet | | Connectivity technology | SATA | | Customer Package Type | SATA | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 out of 5 stars 1,783 Reviews | | Data Transfer Rate | 287 Megabytes Per Second | | Digital Storage Capacity | 26000 GB | | Digital storage capacity | 26000 GB | | Enclosure Material | 1 | | Form Factor | 3.5-inch | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00718037905501 | | Hard Disk Description | Mechanical Hard Disk | | Hard Disk Form Factor | 3.5 Inches | | Hard Disk Interface | Serial ATA | | Hard Disk Rotational Speed | 7200 RPM | | Hard disk form factor | 3.5 Inches | | Hard disk interface | Serial ATA | | Hard-Drive Size | 26 TB | | Hardware Connectivity | SATA 6.0 Gb/s | | Hardware Platform | Western Digital | | Installation Type | Internal Hard Drive | | Item Dimensions L x W x Thickness | 12.7L x 19.1W x 6.4Th centimetres | | Item Weight | 667 g | | Manufacturer | Western Digital Technologies, Inc. | | Manufacturer Part Number | WD260KFGX-SPCNGN0 | | Media Speed | 287 megabytes_per_second | | Model Name | WD Red Pro | | Model Number | WD260KFGX-SPCNGN0 | | Network Connectivity Technology | SATA | | Number of Items | 1 | | Product Features | Rotation Vibration (RV) sensors, multi-axis shock sensor | | Product Warranty | 5 Year Limited | | Read Speed | 287 Megabytes Per Second | | Special feature | Rotation Vibration (RV) sensors, multi-axis shock sensor | | Specific Uses For Product | Business | | UPC | 718037905501 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Western Digital - **Colour:** 26TB - **Compatible devices:** Desktop, laptop, smartphone, tablet - **Connectivity technology:** SATA - **Digital storage capacity:** 26000 GB - **Hard disk description:** Mechanical Hard Disk - **Hard disk form factor:** 3.5 Inches - **Hard disk interface:** Serial ATA - **Installation type:** Internal Hard Drive - **Special feature:** Rotation Vibration (RV) sensors, multi-axis shock sensor ## Images ![WD Red Pro 26TB NAS 3.5" Internal Hard Drive - 7200 RPM, SATA 6 Gb/s, CMR, 512MB Cache - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51UYdt4WMpL.jpg) ![WD Red Pro 26TB NAS 3.5" Internal Hard Drive - 7200 RPM, SATA 6 Gb/s, CMR, 512MB Cache - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71hI5eqPRpL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ridiculous price but a good drive *by A***B on 5 June 2026* Just performed an extended Smart (S.M.A.R.T) test on this 20TB drive via DSM on my Synology DS220J NAS.

It's a pretty hefty drive, specifically designed for this kind of continuous operation. I've been testing it out for a while now, and so far, it's been a champ. No weird noises or slowdowns to report. I'm pretty pleased with how it's handling all the data. ### ⭐ Not a WD Red Pro – mismatched model and serial number *by C***S on 15 August 2026* The drive I received was labelled WD Red Pro WD103KFBX, but when installed it electronically identifies as an HGST HUH721010ALE604 with a completely different serial number. Label serial: AE57U3KD Actual drive serial: 2YGJ11DD Western Digital's warranty checker does not recognise the serial printed on the label. It DOES recognise the drive's actual electronic serial and identifies it as an out-of-warranty 10TB OEM drive described as "APPLE iCloud". The drive therefore isn't what its WD Red Pro label claims it is. Returned for refund. ## Frequently Bought Together - Western Digital 26TB WD Red Pro NAS Internal Hard Drive HDD - 7200 RPM, SATA 6 Gb/s, CMR, 512 MB Cache, 3.5" - WD260KFGX - Synology 2-Bay DiskStation DS223j (Diskless) - Seagate IronWolf 8TB NAS Internal Hard Drive HDD – 3.5 Inch SATA 6Gb/s 7200 RPM 256MB Cache for RAID Network Attached Storage – Frustration Free Packaging (ST8000VNZ04/N004) --- ## 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.ec/products/712185366-wd-red-pro-26tb-nas-3-5-internal-hard-drive](https://www.desertcart.ec/products/712185366-wd-red-pro-26tb-nas-3-5-internal-hard-drive) --- *Product available on Desertcart Ecuador* *Store origin: EC* *Last updated: 2026-08-31*
