Main highlights

WD Red hard drives feature RAID troubleshooting protocols to reduce failures in multi-bay NAS systems, while most desktop drives are configured for generic applications only.
WD Red Plus hard drives are designed to consume less power and run cooler, reducing operating costs and reducing heat generation in thermally loaded NAS boxes.
Unlike desktop drives, the 3.5" hard drive is designed specifically for NAS and features NASware technology that adjusts disk parameters to the workloads of NAS systems for optimal performance.
Reliable internal storage is essential. That's why the internal hard drive shines in continuous operation with an MTBF of more than 1 million hours
Non-mass compensated hard drives in multi-disk systems cause vibration and noise that shortens the lifespan. Our 2-level mass technology significantly increases the overall performance and reliability of the hard drive.
