Key features of the WD Red Plus 8TB hard drive
- NASware™ technology for optimised performance in NAS systems
- Designed for 24/7 operation in multi-bay NAS environments
- Lower power consumption and quieter operation for cost savings
- Advanced balance control reduces vibration and noise
- Proven compatibility with most NAS enclosures and devices through testing and certification
- Data protection backed by Western Digital
Optimised for a lower cost of ownership
WD Red Plus drives consume less power (compared to previous models) and run quieter, which reduces operating costs and contributes to lower temperatures in NAS enclosures that have to deal with high heat levels. Your NAS system is always on, so a reliable drive is a must. WD Red Plus hard drives are designed for systems with 24/7 operation, giving users reliable access to their data.
Designed for 24/7 operation
Although these drives use less power, they offer enough throughput to handle the varying performance demands of multi-drive NAS systems. Western Digital works with a wide range of NAS system vendors, conducting extensive testing to ensure compatibility with most NAS enclosures. Drives that are not properly balanced can cause excessive vibration and noise in multi-drive systems, which shortens the drive's lifespan and gradually degrades its performance. Our enhanced dual-plane balance control technology significantly improves the balance and overall performance and reliability of the drive.
