Depends on what the $/gb on the WD Red Plus is. If prices are similar I’d go with a WD Red Plus since it’s got a much longer warranty. I have 2 8TB Toshiba X300 for two years in my unbraid and I have not had any issues.RandomRFDUSer wrote: ↑This or WD Red Plus for unraid?
You are correct, I misread this as the non-pro version.Callister wrote: ↑Still a good deal at $129.99.
The non pro has 600k hours MTTF and 2 years warranty. The pro version has 1000k hours MTTF and 5 years warranty.

Same thing happened here, but they didn't have that disclaimer. Ended up returning it too, as I didn't trust the packaging to not have damaged it.rugerty100 wrote: ↑ "Item often ships in manufacturer container to reduce packaging. To hide what's inside, choose Ship in Amazon packaging at checkout."
Last time I ordered an X300 (8TB), Amazon delivered it with just the shipping label slapped onto the HDD box.
It was DOA but I didn't realize until after the return period and had to RMA with Toshiba.
The Toshiba packaging doesn't have any protection? Does it just ship in an anti-static bag? Even with Amazon packaging, at best you get a bubble envelope, at worst a box with an airbag on only one side.suhail1724 wrote: ↑ Same thing happened here, but they didn't have that disclaimer.

It came in the box HDD's come in (i.e. you go to best buy and you see one of those WD/Seagate HDD boxes, those. It was beat to hell and just looked awful with the label slapped on it.
compatibility means nothing (other than support). one warning when setting up your pool/volume. I heard of occasional nags but haven't seen any in months with my shucked White Labels.heyyounotyouyou wrote: ↑ Does anyone know if this works with Synology NAS? The compatibility list on Synology's website does not mention the x300 series
