Description
The Western Digital WD Red Plus 8TB internal hard drive is purpose-built for small to medium-sized business NAS environments, SOHO customers, archiving, sharing, and RAID array rebuilding on systems using ZFS and other file systems. Designed for up to 8-bay NAS systems, it features a 3.5-inch form factor, Serial ATA III interface, 5640 RPM rotational speed, and a 256 MB storage drive buffer size.
Equipped with exclusive NASware 3.0 technology, the drive optimises performance and reliability through unique algorithms and extensive partner compatibility testing, supporting up to 112TB of capacity in an 8-bay system. It incorporates 3D Active Balance Plus enhanced dual-plane balance control technology to significantly improve overall drive performance and reliability by reducing excessive vibration and noise in multi-drive systems.
Engineered to tackle continuous 24/7 environments, it offers a mean time between failures of up to 1 million hours, a workload rate limit of 180 TB per year, and a 6 Gbit/s interface transfer rate. Compared to standard desktop drives, WD Red Plus hard drives provide superior NAS compatibility, enhanced reliability under hot always-on conditions, built-in RAID error recovery control, and robust noise and vibration protection.
Power consumption is rated at 6.2 W during read and write operations, 4.1 W at idle, and 0.4 W in standby, with an idle noise level of 25 dB. The drive operates within temperatures from 0 to 65 degrees Celsius, handles non-operating shock up to 250 G, and measures 101.6 mm in width, 26.1 mm in height, and 147 mm in depth with a weight of 750 g, backed by RoHS compliance.
