Western Digital’s WD Red™ Plus NAS drives can suit many storage system requirements; adding performance and reliability for systems that operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week. WD Red Plus 2.5” NAS hard drives are specifically designed to work together in a NAS environment (up to 8 bays) to deliver fast access speeds, data mirroring, and massive storage capacity.

Made for NAS

Don’t settle for less when it comes to your NAS drives. You want power, capacity, and reliability. WD Red™ Plus drives are ideal for archiving and sharing, as well as RAID array rebuilding on systems using ZFS and other file systems.

Compatible with NAS Systems

NASware 3.0 technology is built into every WD Red™ Plus drive to balance performance in the always-on NAS environment.

Cool When Things Get Hot

NAS drives work together in close quarters, that’s why WD Red™ Plus hard drives are engineered to run cool and quiet, with low vibration.

The Power of Red Plus

WD Red™ Plus hard drives can be the heart of your digital media collection – offering massive storage, fast access, and streaming to your home, office, or anywhere there’s an internet connection.

Small Business Benefits

Setting up a small NAS device for your small business just makes sense. Your own NAS server with WD Red™ Plus hard drives inside working to help keep your apps, files, and important docs - accessible to you anywhere with an internet connection.

Small and Medium Sized  Business Benefits

NAS arrays can grow with business. WD Red™ Plus NAS drives can accommodate systems up to 8-bays, which means you can start small and add drives to the array as needed.

Engineered for NAS

Standard desktop drives are not specifically designed for a NAS environment. Choose a purpose-built hard drive - designed and ready for the task – WD Red™ Plus.

Noise and Vibration Protection

Designed to operate solo, desktop drives typically offer little or no protection from the noise and vibration present in a multi-drive system. WD Red™ Plus drives are designed for multi-bay NAS systems. 

3-year Limited Warranty

World-class support services and a 3-year Limited Warranty are included with every WD Red™ Plus drive.

Broad Compatibility

WD Red™ Plus drives are a reflection of extensive NAS partner technology engagement and compatibility-testing.
