Western Digital 1TB WD Red Plus NAS Internal Hard Drive HDD - 5400 RPM, SATA 6 Gb/s, CMR, 64 MB Cache, 3.5Inches - WD10EFRX
The WD Red Plus (formerly known as WD Red) is available in a wide range of capacities, spanning from 1TB to a substantial 14TB, offering versatility to meet various storage needs. These drives are designed to support environments with up to 8 drive bays, making them suitable for small or medium-sized business NAS systems operating 24x7.
Featuring a 5400RPM performance class, the WD Red Plus provides reliable and efficient data access and transfer speeds, ensuring your NAS system operates smoothly even in demanding scenarios.
One of the standout features is its support for up to 180 TB per year workload rate. Workload rate is a crucial metric representing the volume of user data transferred to or from the hard drive annually. This metric signifies the drive's durability and ability to handle the continuous data flow characteristic of NAS systems. Keep in mind that the workload rate may vary depending on your specific hardware and software components and configurations.
The WD Red Plus drives come equipped with NASware firmware, which enhances compatibility with NAS systems and ensures seamless integration and performance.
For added peace of mind, these drives are backed by a 3-year limited warranty, providing assurance of their reliability and quality.
It's important to note that this model utilizes CMR (Conventional Magnetic Recording) technology and has been renamed "WD Red Plus" to differentiate it from the "WD Red" product that uses SMR (Shingled Magnetic Recording) technology. During this transition period, you may receive WD Red Plus devices with a "WD Red" label, but rest assured that the device will be the CMR version of WD Red, distinguishable by the model number. This transition is aimed at ensuring clarity and compatibility for NAS users.
