WD Red Plus

High-performance hard drives designed for power, reliability, and energy efficiency in small to medium NAS environments.

WD Red Plus drives are ideal for power-user workloads and NAS environments in small to medium-sized businesses. They deliver the speed and capacity required to store, protect, and share growing amounts of data in medium-sized, RAID-optimized NAS systems in an energy-efficient manner.

Optimized for NAS with NASware
The exclusive Western Digital NASware technology optimizes drive parameters for NAS system workloads to enhance performance and reliability.

Engineered for continuous operation
Your NAS system runs around the clock. Extremely reliable storage is therefore indispensable. WD Red Plus drives are designed for systems in continuous operation, giving users the confidence that they can reliably access their data.

Tested for reliable compatibility
Western Digital collaborates with many different NAS system manufacturers to conduct comprehensive testing and ensure compatibility with most NAS enclosures.

Optimized for lower total cost of ownership
WD Red Plus drives consume less power than previous models and run cooler, reducing operating costs and minimizing heat in NAS enclosures that are difficult to cool.

Lower power consumption, strong performance
Although they consume less power, the drives offer tremendous bandwidth to meet the mixed performance demands of NAS systems with multiple drives.

Balanced for increased reliability
Drives without proper mass balancing can cause excessive vibrations and noise in systems with multiple drives, reducing the lifespan of the drives and leading to performance degradation over time.
