WD Red™ Plus for demanding workloads
The WD Red™ Plus offers concentrated performance for small and medium-sized business NAS environments and increased workloads in home and small offices. It is optimized for archiving, content sharing and building RAID arrays in systems with ZFS and other file systems. The hard drives are designed and tested for NAS systems with up to 8 drive bays and provide the necessary flexibility, versatility and security when storing and sharing your valuable private and business files.

For small and medium-sized companies
With a NAS and WD Red™ Plus hard drives, you can stream, backup, organize and easily share your digital content with other devices in the home or office network. NASware™ 3.0 technology increases the compatibility of your hard drives with other devices. Larger businesses with up to 24 drive bays can rely on the outstanding performance of WD Red™ Pro hard drives.

Exclusive NASware 3.0
Not every drive is suitable for this. You can leverage up to 112TB of capacity in an 8-bay NAS system and get the power to optimize every drive with Western Digital's exclusive NASware 3.0 technology. Built into every WD Red™ Plus hard drive, NASware 3.0 improves your system's storage performance with the latest technologies and improved compatibility, integration, upgradeability and reliability.

Engineered for optimal NAS compatibility
WD Red™ Plus hard drives with NASware™ technology simplify hard drive choice. Our unique algorithm is optimized for NAS systems and creates the right balance of performance and reliability in NAS and RAID environments. In short: WD Red™ Plus is the hard drive with the highest compatibility for NAS enclosures. This is also proven by numbers. WD Red™ Plus hard drives are the result of extensive compatibility testing with NAS partners and extensive integration of their technologies.

WD Red™ Pro for enterprise
For business customers looking for a NAS system for intensive applications, WD Red™ Pro hard drives offer exceptional performance for medium and large companies with extreme requirements. WD Red™ Pro hard drives deliver uncompromising performance and the highest security with a 5-year warranty for 9- to 24-bay NAS environments.

3D Active Balance Plus
Our advanced dual plane mass balancing technology greatly improves the overall performance and reliability of the drive. Disks that are not properly mass balanced can cause excessive vibration and noise in a multi-drive system, reducing disk life and degrading performance over time.

An environment in continuous operation
Your NAS system runs 24/7. Highly reliable storage is therefore essential. With an MTBF of more than 1 million hours, the WD Red ™ Plus is designed for continuous operation.

Desktop drives versus WD Red™ Plus
Choose the right NAS-optimized hard drive with a variety of features so you can protect your data and keep performance at its peak. Consider the following when choosing a hard drive for your NAS system:

- Compatibility: Unlike desktop drives, these drives are tested for compatibility with NAS systems to ensure optimal performance.
- Reliability: The continuous operation of a NAS or RAID is extremely demanding. Desktop hard drives are usually not designed and tested for these conditions - unlike the WD Red™ Plus.
- Error recovery logs: WD Red™ Plus NAS hard drives are specially designed with RAID error recovery logs that help reduce failures in the NAS system.
- Noise and Vibration Protection: Because desktop drives are designed for standalone operation, they typically offer little or no protection from the noise and vibration found in multiple-drive systems. WD Red™ Plus hard drives are optimized for use in NAS environments with multiple drive bays.
