Technical Specifications

• Designed specifically for medium to large businesses, WD Red Pro drives are available for NAS systems with up to 24 bays. WD Red Pro is designed to handle high-intensity workloads in environments that operate 24/7. It is ideal for archiving and sharing content, as well as reconfiguring RAID arrays in expanded operating systems like ZFS or other file systems. These drives add value to your business because they allow employees to quickly share their files and back up their folders on a NAS solution.
• Compatibility
• Unlike desktop drives, these drives have undergone specific compatibility testing with NAS systems to ensure optimal performance.
• Reliability
• The always-on environments of a NAS or RAID system present high temperatures. Desktop drives are typically not designed for those conditions nor subjected to the necessary testing, while WD Red Pro drives are.
• Error Recovery Controls
• WD Red Pro NAS hard drives are specifically designed with RAID error recovery controls that help reduce failures in the NAS system.
• Protection Against Noise and Vibration
• Designed to operate independently, desktop drives often provide little to no protection against noise and vibrations that affect multi-drive systems. WD Red Pro drives are designed to excel in environments with multi-bay NAS systems.
