Tuned for NAS with
NASware
Western
Digital's exclusive NASware technology fine tunes drive parameters to
match NAS system workloads, which helps increase performance and
reliability.
Designed for
Continuous Operation
Since your
NAS system is always on, a reliable drive is essential. WD Red Plus hard
drives are designed for systems that operate 24/7, giving users the
confidence of knowing they can reliably access their data.
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
Hard
drives that are not properly balanced may cause excessive vibration and
noise in multi-drive systems, which could reduce hard drive life span
and degrade the performance over time. WD's enhanced dual-plane balance
control technology significantly improves balance and increases overall
drive performance and reliability.
Limited 3-Year
Warranty
Western
Digital stands behind their NAS storage solutions with the assurance of
a limited 3-year limited warranty and world-class support services for
hassle-free data storage.
Reliability
Desktop
drives aren't typically designed for the demands of an always-on NAS
environment. WD Red hard drives are designed to perform under tough
conditions encountered in high-intensity 24/7 multi-user NAS
environments.
RAID Ready
WD Red
hard drives are engineered with RAID error recovery control to help
reduce failures within multi-bay NAS systems, unlike most desktop drives
that are configured for generic use.
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.
