Exact product identity & open questions
- Product
- One 6TB internal 3.5-inch SATA HDD from the Western Digital WD Red Plus family; enclosure and additional drives sold separately.[1]
- Revision rule
- Match the complete WD60EFPX suffix on the listing and delivered label; another 6TB family member is not interchangeable evidence.[1]
- Official RPM and idle-acoustics conflict: 2025 table: 5400 rpm and 23 dBA idle. Older brief: 5640 rpm and 32 dBA idle. No official erratum was found.
- Exact NAS compatibility: No enclosure/firmware qualification was confirmed.
- Live US PDP: The 2026-09-10 Newegg row is PC Parts Hub at $289.50. Parent primary-sold-by parse of the same saved HTML agrees: PC Parts Hub, $289.50 after $18 off UnitCost $307.50, ShippingCharge $0.01, IsNew. Other-seller popover prices are not that selected offer. This does not refresh the 2026-09-10 observation time.
- Exact-MPN original video: None obtained.
- Direct-SATA NAS test: The exact-MPN original test used an externally powered USB adapter, not a multi-bay NAS backplane.
