WD Red Pro
WD Red Pro drives are engineered for demanding 24/7, multi-user commercial and enterprise NAS environments. They provide the performance, scalability, and reliability required for businesses to store, share, and collaborate on large datasets in RAID-optimized, multi-drive NAS systems.
Optimized for NAS systems with NASware technology
Western Digital's exclusive NASware technology finely tunes drive parameters to suit NAS workloads, enhancing both performance and reliability.
Designed for continuous operation
WD Red Pro hard drives are built to meet the rigorous needs of intensive 24/7, multi-user NAS environments, providing increased system durability.
Tested for compatibility
Western Digital collaborates with numerous NAS vendors, conducting extensive testing to ensure compatibility with most NAS enclosures.
Protected against excessive vibration
WD Red Pro drives are equipped with Rotation Vibration (RV) sensors that anticipate and actively counteract disturbances caused by increased vibration. By dissipating excessive vibration within the drive enclosure, turbulence is minimized, performance is maintained, and the drives are protected.
Designed to absorb shock
WD Red Pro hard drives feature a multi-axis shock sensor that detects even slight vibrations and automatically compensates for them using dynamic head height control technology, further protecting drives in NAS enclosures.
Equipped with the best technology on the market
WD Red Pro 22TB hard drives showcase Western Digital’s patented OptiNAND technology, which uses integrated iNAND flash memory to perform key housekeeping functions, freeing up more capacity and improving overall drive performance.
Backed by world-class technical support and warranty
As a leading hard drive manufacturer, Western Digital stands behind its NAS storage solutions by offering a 5-year limited warranty and top-tier technical support for worry-free data storage.
Comparison of traditional desktop drives and WD Red Pro
It’s vital to choose a drive specifically engineered for RAID-optimized NAS systems to guarantee optimal performance and safeguard your important data. When selecting a hard drive for your NAS system, consider the following:
- Compatibility: Unlike desktop drives, WD Red Pro hard drives are purpose-built and extensively tested for NAS, featuring NASware technology that precisely adapts drive parameters to NAS workloads for optimal performance.
- Reliability: Desktop drives are typically not designed for the continuous operation required in NAS systems. WD Red Pro hard drives are engineered to endure the demanding conditions found in intensive 24/7, multi-user NAS environments.
- RAID Configuration Support: While most desktop drives are intended for general use, WD Red hard drives include RAID error recovery to help minimize failures in your multi-drive NAS system.
- Noise and Vibration Protection: Desktop drives, designed for standalone use, do not provide adequate protection against the vibration and noise present in multi-drive systems. WD Red hard drives are equipped with Rotation Vibration (RV) sensors that predict and actively counteract the disruptions often caused by increased vibration in multi-drive NAS systems.
