Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. I intend to hook up 4 of these as part of a RAID 0 array to boost performance speeds while doing photo editing and graphics intensive work. Is this ideal for RAID 0, or are they better options out there? WD Black or Seagate Barracuda Pro perhaps?

A: The Seagate 6TB IronWolf Pro 7200 rpm SATA III 3.5" Internal NAS HDD (Retail) BH #SEST6000N000 is a good option for a RAID array and although they are designed as NAS drives, they would work in a desktop environment just as well. The Barracuda Pro and WD Black would also be good options and designed specifically for desktop use.

Q: 2. what is the Difference between Retail and OEM?

A: OEM hardware and software are packaged for distribution to companies who build systems. OEM come in packaging units and they don't come in a retail box, that allows the price to be cheaper. They're also for customers that know how to build and install the drives without needing support. So you don't get customer support from the manufacture or technical support.

Q: 3. what is the warranty on this drive?

A: Says 3 years on WD's site.

Q: 5. Is there any reason to no use this in a Synology NAS?

A: The WD 10TB Purple Pro 7200 rpm SATA III 3.5" Internal Surveillance Hard Drive can be used in a NAS, but I would recommend the WD 10TB Red Pro 7200 rpm SATA III 3.5" Internal NAS HDD, B&H # WE102KFBXSPM, as WD Red drives are optimized for use in NAS arrays while WD Purple drives are optimized for surveillance.

Q: 6. I have a ZOSI dvr for 8 channel. Can this work to record video from them

A: If your recorder uses 3.5 inch drives with SATA connectors, this drive should work just fine. I am 99% sure that your recorder uses SATA drives. Its industry standard. Check the owners manual for maximum supported drive capacity. I know that some recorders have drive size limits and if you install a drive that is of bigger capacity than recorder can support, you may have issues. My Lorex NVR supports two 2TB hard drives and this drive was literally plug-and-play. Good luck.

Q: 9. Does this come with a cable and mounting screws?

A: I'm sorry but if you are concerned about mounting screws on an 18TB drive then I am pretty sure you have no need or understanding of this drive. I would be inclined to say you would be better off asking Geek Squad for assistance. No offense intended just stating what everyone else is thinking
