Here's a ranking of the best products in this category. To give you a quick overview, we've also added some key information about the products.
1. WD Red Plus
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 in 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.
The exclusive Western Digital NASware technology optimizes drive parameters for NAS system workloads to enhance performance and reliability.
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 assurance that they can reliably access their data.
Western Digital collaborates with various NAS system manufacturers to conduct extensive testing and ensure compatibility with most NAS enclosures.
WD Red Plus drives consume less power than previous models and run cooler, reducing operating costs and minimizing heat in hard-to-cool NAS enclosures.
Although they consume less power, the drives have a significant bandwidth to meet the mixed performance demands of multi-drive NAS systems.
Drives without proper mass balancing can cause excessive vibrations and noise in multi-drive systems, which can shorten the lifespan of the drives and lead to performance degradation over time.
