About this product

WD Red Pro drives are engineered to handle high-intensity workloads in 24×7 multi-user commercial and enterprise NAS environments. WD Red Pro drives deliver the performance, scalability and dependability businesses require to store, share and collaborate on large amounts of data in multi-bay RAID-optimized NAS systems.

Features

  • Optimized 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

    WD Red Pro hard drives are designed to handle the rigorous demands of high-intensity 24x7 multi-user NAS environments and increase system durability.

  • 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.

  • Protected against Excessive Vibration

    WD Red Pro drives include Rotation Vibration (RV) sensors that anticipate and proactively counteract disturbances caused by increased vibration. By dispersing excess vibration across the drive chassis, turbulence is minimized, performance is maintained and drives are protected.

  • Built to Absorb Shock

    WD Red Pro hard drives include a multi-axis shock sensor to detect subtle shock events and automatically compensate with dynamic fly height technology to further protect the drives in NAS enclosures.

  • Engineered with Industry-Leading Technology

    WD Red Pro 22TB and 24TB hard drives feature Western Digital’s proprietary OptiNAND technology which leverages integrated iNAND embedded flash to perform key housekeeping functions, freeing up more capacity and improving the overall drive performance.

  • 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 5-year limited warranty and world-class support services for hassle free data storage.

    Wonderful product

    I have this in my DS920+ Synology NAS. I am running my plex media server with it and it works flawlessly. No issues to speak of and have purchased 4 of these (when the sales hit) to fill all of the NAS drive bays.
