Tested for Dependable Compatibility

Western Digital partners with a wide range of NAS system vendors for extensive testing to ensure compatibility with most NAS enclosures.

Optimized for Lower TCO

WD Red Plus drives are engineered to use less power (versus previous models) and run cooler, which reduces operating costs and helps reduce heat in thermally challenged NAS boxes.

Powered for Strong Performance

Despite using less power, the drives have plenty of bandwidth to handle the mixed performance demands of multi-drive NAS systems.

Balanced for Increased Reliability

Our enhanced dual-plane balance control technology significantly improves balance and increases overall drive performance and reliability.

Desktop drives vs. WD Red® Plus

It is important to choose a drive purpose-built for RAID-optimized NAS systems to ensure optimum performance and preserve your valuable data. Take the following into consideration when choosing a hard drive for your NAS

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 hard drives include Rotation Vibration (RV)
sensors that anticipate and proactively counteract disturbances caused by increased vibration often found in multi-bay NAS systems.
