Finally WD has the 6TB drives in the Black and Red pro (probably the same drive with differing FW). I hope they do not use the shingles design.
I'm tired of the 6TB NAS clatter and the 6TB Seagate drives have the mounting problems and not the best performance.

The MTBF rating is slightly lower than Seagate's Enterprise NAS drive equivalent (1 million vs 1.2 million hours) and the advertised streaming transfer rate drops quickly on the lower-sized models. I would consider the 6TB model for one of our NAS at the office, but for the other sizes, I would probably prefer something from Seagate or HGST.
