Built for Optimum NAS Compatibility

WD Red™ Pro drives with NASware™ technology takes the guesswork out of selecting a drive

Optimized for NAS systems, our unique algorithm balances performance and reliability in NAS and RAID environments

Simply put, a WD Red™ Pro drive is one of the most compatible drives available for NAS enclosures

But don't take our word for it

WD Red™ Pro drives are a reflection of extensive NAS partner technology engagement and compatibility-testing

Larger NAS Bay Shock Protection

WD Red™ Pro drives are equipped with a multi-axis shock sensor that automatically detects subtle shock events and dynamic fly height technology that adjusts each read-write function to compensate and protect the data

This combination of technology further protects the drives in larger 24-bay NAS environments and helps increase hard drive reliability

3D Active Balance Plus Our improved dual-plane balance control technology significantly improves the overall drive performance and reliability

Hard drives that are not properly balanced may cause excessive vibration and noise in a multi-drive system, reduce the hard drive life span, and degrade performance over time

Error Recovery Prevention

Built specifically for RAID and NAS environments, WD Red™ Pro drives come equipped with error recovery controls as part of NASware™ 3.0 technology to help reduce drive fallout in RAID applications

Extended Drive Testing A NAS environment that has up to 24 bays is very demanding on a hard drive with added vibration and heat

This is why every WD Red™ Pro drive is delivered with extended thermal cycle burn-in testing to help ensure each drive is tested for extended reliable operation
