Comparison of traditional desktop drives and WD Red Plus

Give your NAS device a chance and choose a dedicated hard drive with features to help secure your data and ensure optimal performance. When choosing a hard drive for your NAS system, consider the following:

• Compatibility: Unlike traditional drives, these drives have been tested for compatibility with NAS systems and optimal performance.
• Reliability: An always-on NAS or RAID environment is subject to high temperatures, and desktop drives, unlike WD Red Plus, are not typically designed and tested for such conditions.
• Error recovery systems: WD Red Plus NAS hard drives are equipped with a RAID error recovery system to help minimize failures in your NAS system.
• Noise and Vibration Protection: Designed for stand-alone operation, desktop drives do not provide adequate protection against the vibration and noise that occur in multi-drive systems. WD Red Plus drives were created specifically for NAS systems with multiple bays.
