The 16TB version comes with WD Red HDs?

Yes. The populated version comes with WD Red drives. Should read that in the description.

The WD Red Series are the only drives I put in mine (17 of the 3TB ones). I would strongly suggest the 3TB or 4TB versions of the WD Red NAS drives for this unit and nothing else.

Yes I am using this array full of 4tb red drives. You are good to go with these...

Western Digital's support portal doesn't say, and honestly once the drive dies your warranty is forever impacted, as you only have a year from the refurbished drive before it's no longer supported. In the review I didn't clarify the seller, the seller was EOnline. When I ordered it it was posted as a WD1500HLHX, now my review is showing under a 600GB model so perhaps I'm not the only one they were making that mistake with.

Hi. I never use greens, they fail to quickly. Red is ok, ensure you are ok with RPM. I tried 6tb red, didn't work. 4tb is max from my experience. I have two of these, work best on eSATA. Enjoy.

Mine was new. 500gig HD was included but i put in a 1 tera drive. Still works great after 6 months service through winter.

I tested it with two different 4TB drives: the WD Red 40EFRX and the WD RE WD4000FYYZ. First the Red: this model has a design flaw which causes it to load/unload the heads continuously, basically grinding the drive down to an early death. Other than that minor inconvenience, the Red works fine. The WD4000FYYZ: this drive generates a lot of heat and should not be used in an enclosure that doesn't have a fan. Other than that, it works fine as well.

Yes, I have one built with 4x6TB WD RED drives in an 18TB RAID-5 volume. I was able to format it with GPT, NTFS. I tested copying files, and I ran a chkdsk /r to test the free space. Everything looks good so far. I am going to be using it soon to fill with data.

it comes with none. The hard drives are sold separately. You can hold up to 12TB using 4 HDs of 3TB each when using linear RAID partition.

$99 for a 2TB is a steal deal! Got two of them in blue and two more in white colors. Just dumb how the red and some other colors cost few more dollars more even though its the same product.

Yes, it comes from the factory formatted with FAT32 but you can reformat it with NTFS if desired or most any other system.

The Red drive is for a NAS. But it will work for you. It is backwards comparable.

Yes,but the plus is their discontinued model, so no updates anymore, if spending this much for it, I would buy the wd hub, next model up as it comes with a 1tb drive built in,and is still listed on their website as a current model, and this price on the plus is much more than it used to be when it was a current model !

no. no hard drives are included in this package just the Synology case. I added two Western Digital Red NAS grade drives to it. Whole package cost over $700 which i know these days is more than a high end pc, but i needed the compactness of a NAS drive.

If you pre purchase the 16TB it comes with Reds and you cant change that. But if you buy the disk less version you can put any drive in their compatibility list on WDs site. Some current Greens are on there, but they are unable to test backward with older Greens that are no longer manufactured. (but may still work) I am using 2 not on their list and they work fine.

You're right, I did get the 5400 rpm unit. I bought it in April and when I click on the link for the item I bought, it goes directly to the 7200 rpm unit for $98.45.But, the 5400 does just fine and I don't notice it any slower than my older 500 mb, 7200 rpm unit it replaced.
