- Key Specs
- Storage Capacity: 6000 gigabytes (Measured in megabytes (MB), gigabytes (GB) and terabytes (TB), this is the amount available for storing files, music, movies, photos and more. The total includes the capacity of the hard disk drive and solid state drive if both are included on the computer.)
- Storage Drive Type: HDD (Traditional, mechanical hard disk drives are the most common type of storage because they're relatively inexpensive and offer huge capacities. However, they also generate both noise and heat. Solid state drives, also known as SSDs, are many times faster than hard disk drives and have no moving parts to wear out, but typically offer less capacity for the same price.)
- Rotational Speed: 5400 revolutions per minute (The rate at which the hard drive spins its platters. The higher the rotational speed, the faster the drive can read and write data.)
- Maximum Read Speed: 180 megabytes per second (The greatest speed at which the device can read information; for example, opening files.)
- Maximum Write Speed: 180 megabytes per second (The greatest speed at which the device can write information; for example, saving files.)
- Form Factor: 3.5 in.
- Interface(s): SATA (Refers to the types of connections that devices use to interact and communicate with each other.)

WD Red Plus drives are designed to handle workloads of power users and small to medium business NAS environments. WD Red Plus drives deliver the speed and capacity required to store, protect and share growing amounts of data in mid-sized RAID-optimized NAS systems with increased power efficiency.
- 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 24x7, 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. Our enhanced dual-plane balance control technology significantly improves balance and increases overall drive performance and reliability.
- Backed by World-Class Support and Warranty: As an industry-leading hard drive manufacturer, Western Digital stands behind their NAS storage solutions with the assurance of a 3-year limited warranty and world-class support services for hassle free data storage.
- Thrives in 24/7 Environments: Since your NAS system is always on, a reliable drive is essential. With an MTBF of up to 1 million hours4 , the WD Red Plus drive is engineered to tackle 24/7 environments

Good Deal and Quick Shipping
I ordered a pair of these for a home NAS right before the prices started skyrocketing. They were delivered quickly in a well packaged box and are performing great so far.

It's good and all, but it's never going to beat an SSD.
