WD Red Plus 3.5" 8TB, 5640 RPM, 256MB, SATA III Hard Drive for NAS

The WD Red Plus 8TB internal hard drive is engineered for use in Network Attached Storage (NAS) systems with up to 8 bays. Its firmware, NASware, is specifically designed to balance performance and reliability in 24/7 multi-user environments. This technology optimizes the drive for the demanding workloads of data sharing, streaming, and backup in home or small office networks. The drive connects via a standard SATA interface, ensuring broad compatibility with a wide range of NAS enclosures and desktop computer systems.

To maintain consistent operation in multi-drive configurations, this HDD incorporates integrated rotational vibration (RV) sensors. These sensors detect and counteract vibration in real-time, which helps to preserve data integrity and performance within a multi-bay chassis. The drive's construction and dual-plane balance control technology further enhance its stability. It is rated for a workload of 180 TB per year and a Mean Time Between Failures of 1,000,000 hours, reflecting its suitability for continuous operation.
