Western Digital WD80EFPX Red Plus HDD, 8TB, 3.5, SATA3, 5400 RPM, 256 MB, 150 MB S

Optimized for NAS with Nasware ™
The exclusive Nasware ™ technology from Western Digital ensures fine-tuning of driver parameters for the workloads of NAS systems, which helps improve performance and reliability.

Designed for continuous company
Because your NAS system is always switched on, a reliable disk is crucial. WD Red Plus Hardrives are designed for systems that are active 24x7 and give users the confidence that they can reliably gain access to their data.

Tested for reliable compatibility
Western Digital cooperates with a wide range of NAS systems suppliers when performing extensive tests to guarantee compatibility with the most NAS enclosures.

Optimized for a lower TCO
WD Red Plus Drives are designed to use less power (compared to earlier models) and to work cooler, reducing operating costs and the amount of heat in sensitive NAS systems is limited.

With enough strength for high performance
Although less power is used, the drives have plenty of bandwidth to cope with the mixed performance requirements of NAS systems with multiple drives.

Balanced for extra reliability
Hard drives that are not well balanced can cause excessive vibrations and sounds in a system with several discs. This can eventually lead to a shorter lifespan of the hard drive and to performance reduction. Our improved Dual-Plane Balance Control Technology improves the total performance and reliability of the Drive.

Extra security with support of world class and warranty
As a leading manufacturer of Hardrives, Western Digital supports its own NAS storage solutions with 3 years of limited warranty and support services of world-class for data storage without problems.

Desktop drives vs. WD Red® Plus
It is important to choose a drive that is specially designed for NAS systems that are optimized for RAID to guarantee optimum performance and the preservation of your valuable data. Consider the following things when you choose a hard drive for your NAS:
• Compatibility: Unlike desktop drives, WD Red Plus Hardrives are specially designed and tested for NAS and include Nasware ™ technology that performs a fine tuning of driver parameters for adaptation to workloads of NAS systems for optimum performance.
• Reliability: Desktop drives are usually not designed to handle the requirements of an always active NAS environment. WD Red Plus Hardrives are designed to perform under heavy conditions in 24x7 NAS environments with high intensity for multiple users.
• Prepared for RAID: WD Red Hardrives are designed with RAID injection to help reduce malfunctions within NAS systems with multiple positions, unlike most desktop drives that are configured for generic use.
• Sound and vibration protection: Desktop drives are designed to always use one at the same time and usually offer little to no protection against the sound and the vibrations in a system with multiple drives. WD Red Hardrives contain RV sensors (Rotation Vibration) that anticipate disruptions caused by the vibrations that often occur in NAS systems with multiple positions and which proceed proactively.
