CtrlAltDel Posted October 18, 2016 Share #1 Posted October 18, 2016 Hi, If you have or are using Western Digital Purple drives in your NAS for general data handling could you provide some feedback based on experience please. A short list of pro's and cons as you see it in a real world environment would be great. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schnapps Posted October 18, 2016 Share #2 Posted October 18, 2016 Don't use purple WDs for NAS workloads. Period! Check this thread: https://forum.synology.com/enu/viewtopic.php?t=85809 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CtrlAltDel Posted October 19, 2016 Author Share #3 Posted October 19, 2016 Thanks for that. I had a chance to buy a few at a decent price but I wasn't sure about them, and my searches weren't very fruitful. Good job I didn't take a chance on them.
