WD Red Plus Internal NAS HDD 3.5" - 4TB [WD40EFPX]
WD Red® Plus: Performance, Reliability, and Power Efficiency for NAS Systems
Designed for small to medium NAS environments, WD Red® Plus internal HDDs offer unmatched performance and dependability for power users and businesses. With the ability to handle demanding workloads, these drives provide the speed and capacity needed to store, protect, and share growing volumes of data, all while maintaining power efficiency in RAID-optimized NAS systems.
Key Features:
Tuned for NAS with NASware™ Technology
Western Digital’s exclusive NASware™ technology optimizes drive parameters specifically for NAS workloads, enhancing both performance and reliability. This tuning ensures that the drive delivers seamless functionality in a NAS setup, making it ideal for continuous operation and data-intensive environments.
Built for Continuous Operation
In a NAS system that's always on, reliability is paramount. WD Red Plus drives are designed to handle 24/7 operation, giving users the peace of mind that their data is always accessible and secure.
Extensive Compatibility Testing
WD Red Plus drives undergo rigorous testing with a wide range of NAS systems to ensure compatibility with most NAS enclosures, making integration into your current setup hassle-free.
Lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
Engineered to consume less power while running cooler than previous models, WD Red Plus drives help lower operational costs and reduce heat, which is especially important in thermally challenged NAS systems.
High Performance with Power Efficiency
Despite their lower power consumption, these drives are optimized for the mixed workloads of multi-drive NAS systems, ensuring smooth performance for data-intensive applications.
Enhanced Reliability with Balance Control
Excessive vibration and noise can significantly impact the performance and lifespan of hard drives in multi-drive systems. WD Red Plus drives feature advanced dual-plane balance control technology, reducing vibrations and noise, leading to improved performance and longevity.
World-Class Support and Warranty
As a trusted industry leader, Western Digital backs its NAS solutions with a 3-year limited warranty and world-class support, offering users peace of mind when it comes to their data storage needs.
Why Choose WD Red® Plus Over Desktop Drives?
When selecting a drive for a NAS system, it's crucial to choose one specifically built for the task. WD Red Plus drives are purpose-built for RAID-optimized NAS systems, offering key advantages over desktop drives:
- Compatibility: Desktop drives are not tuned for NAS systems, while WD Red Plus drives include NASware™ technology, optimizing performance for NAS environments.
- Reliability: Unlike desktop drives, which aren’t designed for continuous use, WD Red Plus drives are built for the rigors of 24/7 multi-user environments.
- RAID-Ready: WD Red Plus drives feature RAID error recovery control, reducing failure risks in multi-bay systems, a feature lacking in typical desktop drives.
- Noise and Vibration Protection: Desktop drives are ill-suited for the noisy and vibration-prone environment of multi-bay NAS systems. WD Red Plus drives counteract these disturbances with Rotation Vibration (RV) sensors, ensuring consistent, reliable performance.
With the combination of performance, reliability, and power efficiency, WD Red® Plus drives are the ideal solution for users looking to optimize their NAS systems.
