3TB Western Digital Red Plus NAS Hard Drive - SATA 6 Gb/s

With its robust power, the WD Red Plus is designed to effectively handle the needs of small- to medium-sized business NAS environments. Additionally, it is capable of accommodating increased workloads for SOHO customers. This makes it an excellent choice for archiving and sharing data, as well as rebuilding RAID arrays on systems that utilize ZFS and other file systems. The drives have been built and rigorously tested to ensure compatibility with up to 8-bay NAS systems. This provides users with the flexibility and versatility they need, while also instilling confidence in the security and storage of their valuable home and work files.

The WD Red Plus is available in capacities ranging from 1-14TB, making it suitable for a wide range of storage needs. It belongs to the 5400RPM performance class, ensuring efficient performance. The drive also supports a workload rate of up to 180 TB per year. Workload Rate is defined as the amount of user data transferred to or from the hard drive. This rate is then annualized by multiplying by the recorded power-on hours.

To ensure compatibility, the WD Red Plus is equipped with NASware firmware. This makes it an ideal choice for small or medium business NAS systems operating in a 24x7 environment. The drive also comes with a 3-year limited warranty, providing peace of mind to users.

It is important to note that this particular model utilizes CMR technology. In order to distinguish it from the current "WD Red" product, which utilizes SMR technology, it has been renamed as "WD Red Plus". During the transition period, some WD Red Plus devices may still be labeled as "WD Red". However, rest assured that you will receive the CMR-version of WD Red, as indicated by the model number.
