High-performance hard drives designed for speed and reliability in small to medium-sized NAS environments.

WD Red Plus hard drives are ideal for power users’ workloads and small to medium-sized business NAS environments. They deliver the speed and capacity needed to store, protect and share growing volumes of data in medium-sized RAID-optimised NAS systems.

Optimised for NAS with NASware
Western Digital’s exclusive NASware technology optimises hard drive parameters for NAS system workloads to enhance performance and reliability.

Designed for continuous operation
Your NAS system runs round the clock. Highly reliable storage is therefore essential. WD Red Plus hard drives are designed for systems in continuous operation and give users the assurance that they can reliably access their data.

Tested for reliable compatibility
Western Digital works with a wide range of NAS system manufacturers to carry out extensive testing and ensure compatibility with most NAS enclosures.

Optimised for lower total cost of ownership
WD Red Plus hard drives consume less power than previous models and run cooler, thereby reducing running costs and minimising heat build-up in NAS enclosures that are difficult to cool.

Lower power consumption, powerful performance
Although they consume less power, the hard drives offer tremendous bandwidth to meet the mixed performance requirements of multi-drive NAS systems.

Balanced for enhanced reliability
Hard drives without proper mass balancing can cause excessive vibration and noise in multi-drive systems, which can shorten the drives’ lifespan and lead to performance degradation over time.

Cache

In computer science, a buffer is a region of a physical memory storage used to temporarily hold data while it is being moved from one place to another. Typically, the data is stored in a buffer as it is retrieved from an input device (such as a mouse) or just before it is sent to an output device (such as speakers). However, a buffer may be used when moving data between processes within a computer. This is comparable to buffers in telecommunication. Buffers can be implemented in a fixed memory location in hardware - or by using a virtual data buffer in software, pointing at a location in the physical memory. In all cases, the data stored in a data buffer, are stored on a physical storage media.
