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

WD Red Plus drives are ideal for power user workloads and NAS environments of small to medium-sized 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 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 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 drives consume less power than previous models and operate cooler, reducing operating costs and minimizing heat in hard-to-cool NAS enclosures.

Lower power consumption, strong performance

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

Balanced for increased reliability

Drives without proper mass balance 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.

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.
