General Information:

Fill your NAS with WD Red™, then fill it with awesome.
There's a leading edge WD Red™ drive for every compatible NAS system to help fulfill your data storage needs. With drives up to 14TB, WD Red™ drives offer a wide array of solutions for customers looking to build a NAS storage solution. Built for single-bay to 8-bay NAS systems, WD Red™ drives pack the power to store your precious data in one powerhouse unit. With WD Red™ drives, you're ready for what's next.

Exclusive NASware 3.0
Not just any drive will do. In single-bay to 8-bay NAS systems, WD Red™ drives raise the bar. Get as much as 112TB capacity, and with WD's exclusive NASware 3.0 technology, you can optimize every single one of them. 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
Desktop drives aren't purpose-built for NAS. But WD Red™ drives with NASware technology are. Our exclusive technology takes the guesswork out of selecting a drive. WD Red™ drives are for small NAS systems, and our unique algorithm balances performance and reliability in NAS and RAID environments. Simply put, a WD Red™ drive is one of the most compatible drives available for NAS enclosures. But don't take our word for it. WD Red™ drives are a reflection of extensive NAS partner technology engagement and compatibility-testing resulting in a leading compatibility list for NAS systems.

Desktop drives vs. WD Red
In a Network Attached Storage device, a desktop hard drive is not typically designed for NAS environments. Do right by your NAS and choose the drive designed 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: Without being tested for compatibility with your NAS system, optimum performance is not guaranteed.
  • 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. WD Red™ drives are.
  • 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.
  • 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 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 effortlessly share content with the devices in your home. NASware 3.0 technology increases your drives' compatibility with your devices, TV, stereo, and more. Live in a connected world.

WD Red for Small Business
Businesses thrive on productivity and efficiency - two of the guiding principles built into the design of WD Red™ drives. It's the hard drive of choice for 1 to 8 bay systems. NASware 3.0 technology allows for seamless integration with your existing network so WD Red™ can share and backup files at the speed of your business. And for larger businesses with up to 16 bays, count on WD Red Pro™ drives.

    Here are some of the most popular categories for Western Digital;

    Everything You Want to Know About Hard Drives.

    Understanding hard drive basics will help you make better storage decisions.

    What's a Hard Drive Do?
    A hard drive is the hardware component that stores all of your digital content. Your documents, pictures, music, videos, programs, application preferences, and operating system represent digital content stored on a hard drive. Hard drives can be external or internal.

    Everything stored on a hard drive is measured in terms of its file size. Documents (text) are generally very small whereas pictures are large, music is even larger, and videos are by far the biggest. A hard drive determines the size of digital files in terms of megabytes (MB), gigabytes (GB), and terabytes (TB).

    There are 3 major versions of hard drive technologies. All of them have pros and cons and reasons for owning each versions;

    Standard Hard Drives

      This is an older technology but has continued to evolve in speed and reliability. Basically the technology is like a record player except the platters are metal instead of vinyl and the needle is magnetic allowing you to read, write and erase. The faster the hard drive spins, or RPM, the faster the read and write happens.
      Pros -- Cheapest per GB, very reliable and easily replaceable.
      Cons -- Much slower than newer technologies.

    Solid State or SSD Drives

      Solid State is basically a form of memory that can be written to and the data will stay saved even with the power off!
      Pros -- Very Fast read/write, no moving parts so it is quiet and in theory should last longer, less heat and energy.
      Cons -- Price per GB is more expensive than Standard HDD.

    M.2 Drives

      An M.2 SSD is a solid-state drive (SSD) that conforms to a computer industry specification written for internally mounted storage expansion cards of a small form factor. Shaped like a stick of gum. Most M.2 SSDs are 80 x 22mm (L x W), but they can be shorter or longer. You can tell what size an M.2 SSD is by reading the four or five-digit number in its name: the first two numbers are its width, while the others are its length (example: M.2 Type-2280).
      Pros -- Small for factor and SPEED,!!! M.2 card can use either the existing SATA 3.0 specifications and be restricted to the 600MB/s or it could instead elect to use PCI-Express that provides a bandwidth of 1GB/s under the current PCI-Express 3.0 standards.
      Cons -- Compatibility, since this is an internal storage device your motherboard must be newer and include the proper slot(s) to accommodate this storage technology.

    Hybrid Hard Drives

      A Hybrid Hard Drive may be the best of both worlds. In a Hybrid Drive you have both SSD and Platter or Standard Hard Drives included in one device. Typically you have a smaller SSD Drive coupled with a larger HDD. You have the low price per GB of an HDD and the speed of an SSD. This type of drive is a great choice for SMB workstations all the way to gaming machines.
      Pros -- Best overall value for the dollar as well as speed ratio.
      Cons -- Can add a level of complexity to some users as you basically have 2 drives in one and will have to be aware of what drive you will save data vs programs to.

    If you have an older Computer or notebook consider the SSD option as it will make your system feel new again with this faster storage technology.

    Internal vs. External or Portable Hard Drives

    External desktop hard drives are built using a drive and require an AC adapter plugged into a power outlet. These drives are a good choice for supplementing a desktop computer or plugging into a laptop's home base, and typically can extend your need to upgrade your hard drive or more importantly it can be used as a backup drive. As the saying goes "It's not if, but when something fails!" Please Backup...
