Western Digital HDD WD Red Plus 2TB 3,5 CMR 64MB/5400RPM

WD Red Plus

High-performance hard drives designed for performance, reliability and energy efficiency in small and medium-sized NAS environments.

WD Red Plus drives are designed to work under load for individual users and NAS environments in small and medium-sized companies. WD Red Plus drives deliver the speed and capacity needed to store, protect and share growing amounts of data in mid-size NAS systems optimized for RAID operation with increased energy efficiency.

Adapted to NAS systems with NASware technology

Western Digital's exclusive NASware technology precisely adjusts drive parameters to match NAS system loads, helping to increase performance and reliability.

Designed for continuous operation

NAS systems run non-stop, so a reliable hard drive is of the utmost importance. WD Red Plus hard drives are designed for 24/7 systems, giving users the confidence to access their data reliably.

Tested for compatibility

Western Digital works with many NAS vendors, conducting extensive testing to ensure compatibility with most NAS enclosures.

Optimized for reduced total cost of ownership

WD Red Plus drives are designed to consume less power (compared to previous models) and operate at lower temperatures, which reduces operating costs and helps reduce heat in thermally demanding NAS enclosures.

Power supply for solid performance

Despite lower power consumption, the drives have high throughput to meet the mixed performance demands of multi-drive NAS systems.

Balanced for greater reliability

Improperly balanced hard drives can cause excessive vibration and noise in multi-drive systems. This results in deterioration of the functioning of the drives and shortening their lifespan. Improved dual plane balancing technology significantly improves balance and increases overall drive performance and reliability.

Backed by world-class technical support and warranty

As a leading hard drive manufacturer, Western Digital is confident in its NAS storage solutions and offers a 3-year limited warranty and top-notch technical support for hassle-free data storage.

Comparison of traditional desktop drives and WD Red Plus

It's important to choose a drive specifically designed for RAID-optimized NAS systems to ensure optimal performance and preserve your valuable data. When choosing a hard drive for your NAS system, consider the following:

• Compatibility: Unlike desktop drives, WD Red Plus hard drives are specifically designed and tested for NAS and feature NASware technology that precisely adjusts the drive's parameters to NAS workloads for optimal performance.
• Reliability: Desktop drives are usually not designed for the continuous operation that NAS systems are used for. WD Red Plus hard drives are designed to withstand the harsh environments found in high-intensity, 24/7, multi-user NAS environments.
• RAID Configuration Support: Unlike most desktop drives that are configured for general use, WD Red hard drives feature RAID error recovery to help minimize failures in your multi-drive NAS system.
• Noise and Vibration Protection: Designed for stand-alone operation, desktop drives do not provide adequate protection against the vibration and noise that occur in multi-drive systems. WD Red hard drives are equipped with Rotation Vibration (RV) sensors that anticipate and actively counteract the disruption caused by increased vibration often found in multi-drive NAS systems.
