Features

  • 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.

    NAS drives

    I went with these over the 10 terabytes just to save on some energy and noise. These have turned out to be fantastic drives and have been running non-stop the last year with no issues.

    Great for home security NVR's and NAS devices

    Ordered these 8th WD Red Plus drives for my home security cameras. I upgraded my system to 16 channels from 8 channels. The 8 channel NVR had (2) 4tb WD Red Plus drives I previously purchased, for well over a year with no issues. Did a full scan on them and no bad sectors or issues running 24/7. Looking forward to the 8th drives to produce the same expectations as the 4tb drives did.

    Loud, but good.

    Good performance in raid 1 is a Synology DS220+. They are at least 15dB louder than my old 4tb wd reds that they replaced so they can no longer be in the office, which I deducted 2 stars for.

    Red Plus 8TB NAS Internal Hard Drive

    I've been using the WD Red Plus 8TB NAS Internal Hard Drive and have been very impressed with its performance. Installation was simple, and the drive was recognized immediately by my NAS. It runs quietly, stays cool, and has provided fast and reliable storage for my photos, videos, and important files. One of the things I like most is its consistent performance during backups and file transfers. Even when multiple devices are accessing data, the drive remains stable and responsive. The 8TB capacity offers plenty of room for growth, making it a great long-term investment for home or small business use. Overall, this drive has exceeded my expectations in reliability, storage capacity, and ease of use. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for dependable NAS storage.
