WD Red Pro Review: 4 TB Drives for NAS Systems Benchmarked
by Ganesh T S on August 8, 2014 9:00 AM ESTSingle Client Access - NAS Benchmarks
Evaluation of single client performance in a networked environment was done by configuring three drives in RAID-5 in the QNAP TS-EC1279U-SAS-RP unit. Two of the network links were bonded (configured with 802.3ad LACP). Our usual Intel NASPT / robocopy benchmarks were processed from a virtual machine in our NAS testbed. The results are presented in the graphs below.
For almost all workloads, there is no discernible difference between the performance of various drives, indicating that it is the network acting as a bottleneck for single client access. Differences start to appear when there are multiple clients accessing the NAS.

old article i never seen issues with data reliability unless the drive itself has been problematic (bits of the disk that cant be read and the stupid drive not remapping it) norm i just change the drive once issues happen or random issues as i had with some samsung drives not liking my server (fine in other systems)bigbann - Tuesday, May 23, 2017 - link
thank you for the test. I just want to buy some used SAS drivers from https://www.servershop24.de/ . With your suggestions I can decide which is the best for me.
