Engineered to handle increased workloads, this 6TB drive operates using a
SATA III 6 Gb/s interface, a 64MB cache, and a rotational speed of 5400
rpm, all of which help to ensure uninterrupted data transfers with a
sustained rate of up to 175 MB/s.
This drive also features high levels of reliability, with 600,000
load/unload cycles, 10 in 1014 non-recoverable read errors per bits read,
error recovery controls, and 1,000,000 hours MTBF for 1-8 bay NAS systems.
Also built into this drive are noise and vibration protection and WD's
NASware 3.0 helps increase system compatibility, allowing WD Red drives to
be more easily integrated with your existing network infrastructure.
Fill Your NAS with WD Red
Built for 1 to 8-bay NAS systems, WD Red lets users store their
data in one unit.
NASware 3.0 Technology
Built into every WD Red hard drive, NASware 3.0's technology
helps improves your system's storage performance by increasing
compatibility, integration, upgradeability, and reliability.
Built for NAS Compatibility
Desktop drives aren't purpose-built for NAS, but WD Red drives
with NASware are. WD's technology helps takes the guesswork out of
selecting a drive. WD Red is for small NAS systems and WD's algorithm
balances performance and reliability in NAS and RAID environments.
Desktop Drives vs. WD Red
Desktop hard drives are not designed for NAS environments. Do
right by your NAS and choose a drive 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 - Without
being tested for compatibility with your NAS system, improved performance
is not guaranteed
Reliability - The
always-on environment of a NAS or RAID is a hot one and desktop drives
aren't typically tested in those conditions. 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. Desktop
drives are not typically designed for RAID environments where this can be
an issue
Noise and Vibration Protection
- Designed to operate solo, desktop drives offer little or no protection
from the noise and vibration faced in a multi-drive system. WD Red drives
are designed for multi-bay NAS systems
WD Red for Home
Stream, backup, share, and organize your digital content at
home with a NAS and WD Red drives designed to share content to the devices
in your home. Red NASware helps increase your drives' compatibility with
your devices, TV, stereo, and more
WD Red for Small Business
WD Red is a good hard drive choice for 1 to 8 bay systems.
NASware 3.0 allows for integration with your existing network so WD Red
can share and backup files at the speed of your business. For larger
businesses with up to 16 bays, use WD Red Pro
3D Active Balance Plus
This helps ensure your data is protected from excessive
vibration and noise in a NAS or RAID environment. This dual-plane balance
control helps reduce the degradation of your drive over time
Reliability
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 with
NASware 3.0 is designed for 24x7 environments
Cooler Operations
By reducing power consumption, the operating temperature of
your NAS stays cooler. With a lower temperature in your system, you can
create a more reliable solution for your NAS
