Desktop Drives vs. WD RedTM Plus
Do right by your NAS and choose the drive purpose-built for NAS with an array of features to help
preserve your data and maintain optimum performance. Take the following into consideration
when choosing a hard drive for your NAS:
• Compatibility: Unlike desktop drives, these
drives are specifically tested for compatibility
with NAS systems for optimum performance.
• Reliability: The always-on environment of a NAS
or RAID is a hot one, and desktop drives aren’t
typically designed and tested under those
conditions like WD RedTM Plus drives are.
• Error Recovery Controls: WD Red Plus NAS hard
drives are specifically designed with RAID error
recovery control to help reduce failures within
the NAS system.
• Noise and Vibration Protection: Designed to
operate solo, desktop drives typically offer little
or no protection from the noise and vibration
present in a multi-drive system. WD Red Plus
drives are designed to thrive in multi-bay NAS
system environments.
NAS HARD DRIVES
Tackle Intensity with WD Red™ Plus
Packed with power to handle the small- to medium-sized business NAS environments
and increased workloads for SOHO customers, WD RedTM 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.
For Small or Medium Businesses
Stream, backup, share, and organize your digital content with a NAS and WD Red Plus
drives designed to effortlessly share content with the devices at your home or business. NASware™ 3.0 technology increases your drives’ compatibility with your existing
network and devices. For larger businesses with up to 24 bays, count on WD Red Pro
drives to deliver exceptional performance.
Exclusive NASware 3.0
Not just any drive will do. Get up to 112TB of capacity in your 8-bay NAS system and
with Western Digital’s exclusive NASware 3.0 technology, you can optimize each
and every drive. Built into every WD Red™ Plus hard drive, NASware 3.0’s advanced
technology improves storage performance by increasing compatibility, integration,
upgradeability, and reliability.
Built for Optimum NAS Compatibility
WD Red Plus drives with NASware technology takes the guesswork out of selecting
a drive. Optimized for NAS systems, our unique algorithm balances performance and
reliability in NAS and RAID environments. Simply put, a WD Red Plus drive is one of the
most compatible drives available for NAS enclosures. But don’t take our word for it.
WD Red PLUS drives are a reflection of extensive NAS partner technology engagement
and compatibility-testing.
WD Red Pro for Big Business
If you’re looking for heavy duty performance for NAS, WD Red Pro drives deliver exceptional performance for the medium to large business customer with extreme demands.
For NAS environments with 9 to 24 bays, WD Red Pro drives deliver uncompromising
performance and unwavering assurance backed by a 5-year limited warranty.
3D Active Balance Plus
Our enhanced dual-plane balance control technology significantly improves the overall
drive performance and reliability. Hard drives that are not properly balanced may cause
excessive vibration and noise in a multi-drive system, reduce the hard drive life span,
and degrade the performance over time.
24/7 Environment
Since your NAS system is always on, a reliable drive is essential. With an MTBF of up to 1
million hours, the WD Red Plus drive is engineered to tackle 24×7 environments.
Premium Support and a 3-year Limited Warranty
Confidently upgrade your NAS performance with the assurance of a 3-year limited
warranty, coupled with world-class support services included with every WD Red Plus
drive.

MTBF spe cifications are ba sed upon interna l testing using a 40 °C base castin g temperature. MTB F is based on
a sample population and is estimated by statistical measurements and acceleration algorithms. MTBF does not
predic t an individual dr ive’s reliabilit y and does not cons titute a wa rranty.
Workloa d Rate is defined as the a mount of user data t ransferred to or f rom the hard drive. Wor kload Rate is
annual ized (TB transfe rred X (8760 / record ed power-on hours)). Worklo ad Rate will vary d epending on your
hardware and software components and configurations.
