WD Red Plus
10 TB, 3.5", CMR
Question about WD Red Plus
I have 11 6TBs and one 10TB in my DS2415+. The 6TB is 35 degrees and the 10TB is up to 43 degrees. Is that normal? I have already changed the fans, set them to Max. Set to maximum. The temperature remains about the same

I took this WD Red 10TB and a USB 10TB out of the case and installed them in the PC.
Ventilation is good.
According to Smart, the HDD is currently at 41°C, 62°C max. The PC has been running for 33 minutes.
The WD White out of the USB case:
Currently at 37°C, 42°C max.
(Interestingly, somewhat colder, especially the max value, but it could also be that there is considerably less on it).
According to the WD Red datasheet:
"MTBF specifications are based upon internal testing using a 40°C base casting temperature."
=> So if they test with 40°C and you have 43°C, then you are certainly not bad off.
I wouldn't worry about that.
