Hi my 6TB WD RED NAS Drive Failure After 2 years Warranty
Hi my 6TB WD RED NAS Drive Failure After 2 years Warranty
I trust the 2 years old drive isn't failure. But it did. What can i do. It's extremely high price in Turkey but my data is much more important.
And I want to ask any NAS Drive can use like consumer disk? Because I'm using like consumer drive.
How to take data back. Anyone know that.
You're viewing a single thread.
If you mean recover the data on it, a failed drive can only potentially be recovered by a professional facility. This is why you should have multiple backups, always.
NAS drives are often the same drives as consumer. Sometimes they have more durable and quieter noise. Sometimes they use slightly different drive components/design. But realistically, most consumer 3.5-inch drives will work fine.
If drives are expensive where you live, it's best to pick an affordable non-NAS drive with a long warranty. The more expensive the drive, the more important warranty term matters... as you are experiencing.
4TB SSDs are in the $200 USD range and have 5 year warranty now (in many regions/vendors). If you only need 6TB, you may want to go with SSD for more durability.
