WD Red Plus 3.5" 12TB, 7200 RPM, 512MB, SATA III Hard Drive for NAS

The WD Red Plus is a 3.5-inch internal hard drive engineered for small to medium business NAS systems. It is designed to function within multi-drive environments containing up to 8 bays, providing a high-capacity storage solution for shared data access and archival. The drive integrates rotational vibration (RV) sensors to maintain performance and reliability in enclosures where multiple drives operate simultaneously. This technology helps to mitigate the effects of vibration commonly found in NAS configurations, ensuring consistent operation.

This model provides a 12 TB capacity and operates at a spindle speed of 7200 RPM with a 512 MB cache to facilitate efficient data handling. It is rated for a workload of up to 180 TB per year and is built for 24/7 operation, making it suitable for continuous data storage and retrieval tasks. The drive's firmware is optimized to balance performance and power consumption within a network-attached storage system, supported by a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of 1,000,000 hours.
