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 deliver the necessary speed and capacity to store, protect, and share growing amounts of data in mid-sized RAID-optimized NAS systems in an energy-efficient manner.

Optimized for NAS with NASware
The exclusive Western Digital NASware technology optimizes the 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 drives are designed for continuous operation, giving users the assurance that they can reliably access their data.

Tested for reliable compatibility
Western Digital collaborates with various 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, which reduces operating costs and decreases heat in hard-to-cool NAS enclosures.

Lower power requirements, 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
Hard 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.
