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 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 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 built for always-on systems, 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 run cooler, reducing operating costs and minimizing heat in hard-to-cool NAS enclosures.
Lower power requirements, strong performance: Although they consume 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 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.

Source: GalaxusMit variabler Drehgeschwindigkeit sucht die Western Digital Red 3 TB die Balance zwischen Performance und Stromverbrauch. Im Test ist das Tempo befriedigend und der Stromverbrauch ist wirklich vergleichsweise niedrig. Daneben glänzt die 3-TByte-Platte mit einem recht günstigen Preis pro GByte.
Die Western Digital WD30EFRX Red 3 TB ist mit ihren 1,0 Sone sehr leise. Mit den Transferraten von 111,5 MB/s beim Schreiben und Lesen überzeugt die Festplatte von sich. Auch der GB-Preis stimmt. Der GB kostet umgerechnet 5 Cent. Die Speicherkapazität beträgt 3-TB.
Der Hersteller verspricht bei dieser Platte so einiges, kann dies in der Praxis jedoch nur begrenzt einhalten. Die Performance ist insgesamt nur sehr mittelmäßig, wobei die geringen Verbrauchswerte, die Arbeitslautstärke und auch die geringe Temperatur für Pluspunkte sorgt.
