WD Red Plus

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

WD Red Plus hard drives are ideal for power user workloads and NAS environments of small to medium businesses. They provide the necessary speed and capacity to efficiently store, protect, and share growing amounts of data in mid-sized RAID-optimized NAS systems.

Optimized for NAS with NASware

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

Designed for continuous operation

Your NAS system runs around the clock. Therefore, highly reliable storage is essential. WD Red Plus hard drives are designed for 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 extensive testing and ensure compatibility with most NAS enclosures.

Optimized for lower total cost of ownership

WD Red Plus hard drives consume less power than previous models and run cooler, reducing operating costs and minimizing heat in hard-to-cool NAS enclosures.

Lower power consumption, strong performance

Despite consuming less power, the hard drives have a tremendous bandwidth to meet the mixed performance demands of multi-drive NAS systems.

Balanced for increased reliability

Hard drives without proper mass balancing can cause excessive vibrations and noise in multi-drive systems, which can reduce the lifespan of the drives and lead to performance degradation over time.
