The WD Red™ Pro for large businesses
For top NAS performance, WD Red™ Pro drives deliver exceptional performance for customers in medium to large businesses that have extreme demands. For NAS environments with 9 to 24 bays, WD Red™ Pro drives provide unmatched performance and unwavering reliability through a five-year limited warranty.

3D Active Balance Plus
Our enhanced dual-plane balance control technology improves the overall performance and reliability of the drive. Hard drives that are not properly balanced can cause excessive vibration and noise in a multi-drive system. This can lead to a shorter hard drive lifespan and reduced performance.

Because your NAS system is always on, a reliable drive is crucial. With up to 1 million hours MTBF, the WD Red™ Plus drive is designed to handle 24/7 environments.

Top support and a three-year limited warranty
Upgrade your NAS performance with confidence, backed by a three-year limited warranty and world-class support services included with every WD Red™ Plus drive.

Desktop drives vs. WD Red™ Plus
Make the right choice for your NAS and choose the drive that's built specifically for the NAS with the right features to protect your data and maintain optimal performance. Consider the following when choosing a hard drive for your NAS:

- Compatibility: Unlike desktop drives, these drives are specifically tested for compatibility and optimal performance in NAS systems.
- Reliability: In the always-on environment of a NAS or RAID, drives can run hot, and desktop drives are not typically designed or tested under such conditions. WD Red™ Plus drives are.
- Error recovery control: The WD Red™ Plus NAS hard drives are specifically designed with RAID error recovery control to help reduce the number of errors in the NAS system.
- Vibration and shock protection: Desktop drives are designed to run as a single drive and typically offer little to no protection against the vibration and shock found in a multi-drive system. WD Red™ Plus drives are designed to operate optimally in multi-bay NAS environments.
