WD Red 8TB NAS Hard Drive

Designed to handle the demands of small- to medium-sized business NAS environments and increased workloads for SOHO customers, the WD Red Plus is the ideal choice for archiving, sharing, and RAID array rebuilding on systems using ZFS and other file systems. Built and tested for up to 8-bay NAS systems, these drives offer flexibility, versatility, and confidence in storing and sharing your precious home and work files.

Available in capacities ranging from 1TB to 14TB, the WD Red Plus supports up to 8 bays and delivers 5400RPM performance class. With a workload rate of up to 180 TB/yr*, these drives are designed for 24x7 operation in small or medium business NAS systems.

To ensure compatibility, the WD Red Plus features NASware firmware. Additionally, it is backed by a 3-year limited warranty, providing peace of mind for your data storage needs.

It's important to note that during this transition period, WD Red Plus devices may be delivered with a "WD Red" label. However, you can be confident that the device you receive will be the CMR-version of the WD Red, which can be confirmed by the model number.

This model uses the more reliable CMR (Conventional Magnetic Recording) technology, as opposed to the SMR (Shingled Magnetic Recording) technology used in the previous "WD Red" product. The renaming to "WD Red Plus" is to distinguish it from the SMR-based drives and ensure customers are aware of the technology used.

Whether you're archiving, sharing, or rebuilding RAID arrays, the WD Red Plus delivers the power, flexibility, and reliability you need for your small- to medium-sized business NAS environments and SOHO setups. With its comprehensive features and performance capabilities, the WD Red Plus is the trusted choice for safeguarding your valuable data.
