[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1713974, member: 56379"] Thanks for mentioning WD Red drives "elf69".:) Did a quick look…and found this (link below). There are "WD Red" and "WD Red Pro" drives. And interestingly…the WD Red Pro only comes in the 3.5" desktop size. Not 100% sure if this implies that 3.5" drives are more durable than 2.5" drives or not. Or maybe the technology used in 3.5" WD Red Pro drives is too bulky to implement in a WD Red Pro 2.5" drive.
