Features

Tackle Intensity with WD Red™ Plus

Packed with power to handle the small- to medium-sized business NAS environments and increased workloads1 for SOHO customers, WD Red™ Plus is ideal for archiving and sharing, as well as RAID array rebuilding on systems using ZFS and other file systems. Built and tested for up to 8-bay NAS systems, these drives give you the flexibility, versatility, and confidence in storing and sharing your precious home and work files.

For Small or Medium Businesses

Stream, backup, share, and organize your digital content with a NAS and WD Red™ Plus drives designed to effortlessly share content with the devices at your home or business. NASware™ 3.0 technology increases your drives' compatibility with your existing network and devices. For larger businesses with up to 24 bays, count on WD Red™ Pro drives to deliver exceptional performance.

Exclusive NASware 3.0

Not just any drive will do. Get up to 112TB of capacity in your 8-bay NAS system and with Western Digital's exclusive NASware 3.0 technology, you can optimize each and every drive. Built into every WD Red™ Plus hard drive, NASware 3.0's advanced technology improves storage performance by increasing compatibility, integration, upgradeability, and reliability.

Built for Optimum NAS Compatibility

WD Red™ Plus drives with NASware™ technology takes the guesswork out of selecting a drive. Optimized for NAS systems, our unique algorithm balances performance and reliability in NAS and RAID environments. Simply put, a WD Red™ Plus drive is one of the most compatible drives available for NAS enclosures. But don't take our word for it. WD Red™ Plus drives are a reflection of extensive NAS partner technology engagement and compatibility-testing.

WD Red™ Pro for Big Business

If you're looking for heavy duty performance for NAS, WD Red™ Pro drives deliver exceptional performance for the medium to large business customer with extreme demands. For NAS environments with 9 to 24 bays, WD Red™ Pro drives deliver uncompromising performance and unwavering assurance backed by a 5-year limited warranty.

3D Active Balance Plus

Our enhanced dual-plane balance control technology significantly improves the overall drive performance and reliability. Hard drives that are not properly balanced may cause excessive vibration and noise in a multi-drive system, reduce the hard drive life span, and degrade the performance over time.

24/7 Environment

Since your NAS system is always on, a reliable drive is essential. With an MTBF of up to 1 million hours, the WD Red™ Plus drive is engineered to tackle 24x7 environments.

Premium Support and a 3-year Limited Warranty

Confidently upgrade your NAS performance with the assurance of a 3-year limited warranty, coupled with world-class support services included with every WD Red™ Plus drive.

Desktop Drives vs. WD Red™ Plus

Do right by your NAS and choose the drive purpose-built for NAS with an array of features to help preserve your data and maintain optimum performance. Take the following into consideration when choosing a hard drive for your NAS: 

- Compatibility: Unlike desktop drives, these drives are specifically tested for compatibility with NAS systems for optimum performance. 
- Reliability: The always-on environment of a NAS or RAID is a hot one, and desktop drives aren't typically designed and tested under those conditions like WD Red™ Plus drives are.
- Error Recovery Controls:  WD Red™ Plus NAS hard drives are specifically designed with RAID error recovery control to help reduce failures within the NAS system.
- Noise and Vibration Protection: Designed to operate solo, desktop drives typically offer little or no protection from the noise and vibration present in a multi-drive system. WD Red™ Plus drives are designed to thrive in multi-bay NAS system environments.

Good for NAS or general storage!

It's not the fastest drive out there, but if you need 4tb, you need 4tb and it definitely isn't gonna slow you down too much.
Had no issues in the past month or so of use, nor have I ever had an issue with a WD drive.
I feel like there are some better deals out there for the price, especially during sales, but as a big drive that is not shingled, it is definitely up there as a recommendation for anyone needing big chunks of space.

Ideal drive for my NAS setup

While not the fastest drive it doesn't need to be for NAS storage especially in a RAID configuration.
I like WD drives as I have found them reliable over the years.
I already have several of this model drive in my NAS and they have worked well.
Very happy with my purchase.

Apparently a good choice for a NAS

Bought two of these to install in a Synology DiskStation DS220j 2-Bay NAS Server for a Mac Time Machine system. Works well so far.

Reliable and 100% compatible with Synology NAS units

WD drives have a well-earned reputation of being reliable. This particular "Plus" model avoids the use of SMR (shingled media recording) which makes it more reliable and suitable for NAS applications. Synology have approved it for use in their NAS systems. The 5400RPM mean it isn't as fast as a 7200RPM drive but quieter instead.

easy to install

using the new hard drive for a week and it seem to work fine.
