WD - Red Plus 3TB Internal SATA NAS Hard Drive
This WD Red™ Plus 3TB internal hard drive is designed for NAS systems with 1-8 drive bays in both 3.5" form factors. Its 3TB capacity provides plenty of space to house files, and the Serial ATA interface lets you connect your laptop or desktop. Packed with power to handle the small- to medium-sized business NAS environments and increased workloads for SOHO customers, WD Red™ Plus is ideal for archiving and sharing, as well as RAID array rebuilding on systems using ZFS and other file systems. Built and tested for up to 8-bay NAS systems, these drives give you the flexibility, versatility, and confidence in storing and sharing your precious home and work files.
Solid NAS drive so far

I put 2x 3TB WD Red dives in a Synology DS215j. They've been up and running 24/7 for about 6 weeks. I ran the Check Disk in Windows as well as AVG's disk checking utility, and both drives are green across the board.
Moving data to them can take quite awhile, but the transfer speeds were as expected. I moved files about 20GB at a time and validated each time.
I've successfully streamed music, photos, and videos to my PC and smartphone without a hitch.
I've had pretty good luck with hard drives from WD (8 drives in 10 years, only one showed problems and it took ~3 years), though to be fair it's been good with Seagate so far, too (2 drives with zero issues, a 3 month and a 5 year old). I hope to get 5+ years out of these.

I would recommend this to a friend!

Seagate - 1TB Internal Serial ATA Hard Drive for Desktops
Ideal for use with desktop performance towers, all-in-one computers, consumer-grade NAS devices or desktop RAID arrays, this Seagate internal hard drive features a 1TB capacity, so you can store plenty of digital files.
Is this SATA 3 or SATA 6?
I believe it is SATA 3 (aka SATA II). Not that it matters - SATA 6 (SATA III) is backwards compatible with SATA II and no traditional, platter hard drive like this can saturate SATA II transfer speeds. You're good to go whether your interface is II or III.
