Do you have a question about the Western Digital Caviar Red 3.0TB Hard Drive?

Q: Will this drive be ok in conjunction with 2 1TB Green Disks on a NAS server. I plan to replace the 2 1TB drives eventually
Answer by CCL on 8th April 2013
As long as you aren't raiding the drives in a mirror this should be fine, but it is recommended to match drives. -Danlevan
