WD Red<sup>™</sup> for Personal or Home Office

WD Red^™ For Personal Or Home Office

Stream, backup, share, and organize your digital content at home
with a NAS and WD Red^™ drives designed to
effortlessly share content with the devices in your personal or
home office environments. NASware 3.0 technology increases your
drives’ compatibility with your existing network and devices,
TV, stereo, and more. Live in a connected world.

Exclusive NASware 3.0

Not just any drive will do. Get up to 48TB of capacity in your
8-bay system and with WD’s exclusive NASware 3.0 technology, you
can optimize each and every drive. Built into every WD Red^™ hard
drive, NASware 3.0’s advanced technology improves your system’s
storage performance by increasing compatibility, integration,
upgradeability, and reliability.

Built For Optimum NAS Compatibility

Designed for personal and home office NAS systems, our unique
algorithm balances performance and reliability in NAS and RAID
environments. WD Red^™ drives are optimized for
environments where idle time is available to perform necessary
background operations. To ensure optimal performance, always
check compatibility with your system. WD Red^™ drives
may not be suitable for higher workload environments. For ZFS
file systems and overall NAS system compatibility, we highly
recommend WD Red^™ Plus drives, which are optimized
for higher workloads.¹

24/7 Environment

Since your NAS system is always on, a reliable drive is
essential. With an MTBF of up to 1 million hours, the WD Red^™ drive
is engineered to tackle 24×7 environments.

Premium Support And A 3-Year Limited Warranty

Confidently upgrade your NAS performance with the assurance of a
3-year limited warranty, coupled with world-class support
services included with every WD Red^™ drive.

Desktop Drives Vs. WD Red^™

Do right by your NAS and choose the drive purpose-built for NAS
with an array of features to help preserve your data and
maintain optimum performance. Take the following into
consideration when choosing a hard drive for your NAS:
Compatibility: Unlike desktop drives, these drives are tested
for compatibility and optimum performance. Reliability: The
always-on environment of a NAS or RAID is a hot one, and desktop
drives aren’t typically designed and tested under those
conditions like WD Red^™ is. Error recovery controls:
WD Red^™ NAS hard drives are specifically designed
with RAID error recovery control to help reduce failures within
the NAS system. Noise and Vibration Protection: Designed to
operate solo, desktop drives typically offer little or no
protection from the noise and vibration present in a multi-drive
system. WD Red^™ drives are designed to thrive in
multi-bay NAS system environments.
