6 TB NAS drive for small arrays
The WD60EFRX is a 6 TB 3.5-inch hard drive built for NAS enclosures with one to eight bays. It uses CMR recording and NASware firmware tuned for 24x7 operation in home or small-office systems. The SATA 6.0 Gb/s interface and 64 MB cache deliver steady throughput for shared storage and backup workloads.
Simple SATA installation, watch bay limits
Mount the drive in any standard 3.5-inch bay using the 147.00 mm length, 101.60 mm width and 26.10 mm height clearance. Connect a single SATA data and power cable; no special drivers are required. The firmware supports up to eight drives per NAS, so arrays larger than that will not be recognised correctly.
Verify bay count and workload before ordering
Confirm your NAS chassis accepts 3.5-inch drives and has a free bay within the one-to-eight-bay limit. Check that the expected annual write volume stays near the 180 TB/yr workload rating. Systems needing more than eight bays or heavier sustained writes should choose a different drive class.

Questions about this item
How can I confirm the 5400 RPM drive is operating correctly after installing it in my NAS?
After installation, check the NAS dashboard for SMART status showing "Healthy" or "Passed," verify the drive reports 6TB capacity and 64MB cache, and confirm the workload rate stays within the 180 TB/yr rating during normal 24x7 operation.
The product notes "Bare Drive" packaging — what exactly ships in the box and what must I source separately?
The box contains only the 3.5-inch WD60EFRX drive itself. You must supply your own SATA data cable, SATA power cable from the NAS power supply, and mounting screws or trays compatible with your specific NAS chassis.
My NAS has four bays — should I choose this 6TB model or a different capacity from the 1-14TB range?
For a four-bay NAS, the 6TB model provides 24TB raw capacity in a single volume, fitting the up-to-8-bay support and 180 TB/yr workload rating. Choose a smaller capacity if your budget or storage needs are lower, or a larger one only if you require more than 24TB total.
