Key features of the WD Red Plus 12TB hard drive
- NASware™ technology to optimise performance in NAS systems
- Designed for continuous operation in multi-bay NAS environments
- Lower power consumption and quieter operation for cost savings
- Advanced balance control to reduce vibration and noise
- Proven compatibility with most NAS chassis and devices through testing and certification
- Data protection backed by Western Digital
Optimised for a lower cost of ownership
WD Red Plus drives consume less power (compared to previous models) and operate more quietly, which reduces running costs and contributes to lower temperatures in NAS chassis that have to deal with high heat levels. Even with lower power consumption, these drives offer sufficient throughput to handle the various performance demands of multi-drive NAS systems. Western Digital works with a wide range of NAS system vendors, conducting extensive testing to ensure compatibility with most NAS storage chassis.
Designed for continuous operation
Your NAS system is always on, so a reliable drive is essential. WD Red Plus hard drives are designed for systems with continuous operation, giving their users reliable access to their data. Improperly balanced hard drives can cause excessive vibration and noise in multi-drive systems, which reduces the drive's lifespan and gradually degrades its performance. Our enhanced dual-plane balance control technology significantly improves the drive's balance, overall performance, and reliability.
