Product Features
Expanded solutions
Our formula of success has led
growth of WD Red into higher
capacities and expansion into new
2.5-inch solutions. We now offer
a broader, more comprehensive
portfolio of NAS hard drives for our
customers. It is not just about NAS
drives, it is REDvolutionary

Next generation experience
Every component, line of code, and
product decision was built on our
passion and determination to deliver
the best NAS experience. The next
generation of WD Red hard drives
delivers on this promise with massive
capacity and NASware
2.0, which
further improves drive reliability and
protects your data in the event of a
power loss or disruption.
Exclusive NASware 2.0
technology
Our exclusive technology, NASware
2.0, makes WD Red thrive in the
demanding small-NAS environment.
By adding WD Red to your NAS
system, not only is everything more
effcient and reliable, you can better
protect your data investment.
Experienced in NAS
In all of our cultures around the world,
frst impressions are what leave a
mark. With superior technology that
is driven to impress, WD Red is a
refection of the most extensive NAS
partner compatibility-testing list that is
available on the market.* That means
when you buy a NAS enclosure, you
can trust that WD Red will be the
most compatible drive available. Our
pride is in our product and our vision
is shared with our customers.
3D Active Balance
Plus
Our enhanced dual-plane balance
control technology signifcantly
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
the performance over time.
The right choice
WD Red is designed specifcally for
home and small offce NAS systems
and PCs with RAID.
*Data refects products in production as of August 2013.
Enhanced reliability
Since your NAS system is always
on, a highly reliable drive is essential.
With a 35% MTBF improvement over
standard drives, the WD Red drive
with NASware 2.0 is designed for the
24x7 environment.
NAS compatibility
Advanced frmware technology built
into every WD Red drive, NASware
2.0 enables seamless integration,
robust data protection and optimal
performance for systems operating in
NAS and RAID environments.
The secret is the next-generation
technology
WDs next generation NASware
2.0 technology improves NAS
storage performance by reducing
common hard drive concerns in
NAS systems including concerns for
things like compatibility, integration,
upgrade ability, reliability and cost of
ownership that are experienced with
a hard drive designed for desktop
computers.
Energy effcient and money
saving
We keep power consumption low
which keeps your NAS system happy
and your wallet, too.
Lower operating temperatures
Reduce your electricity bill with WD
Red drives. Innovative technology
reduces power consumption and
lowers the operating temperature,
resulting in a more reliable and
affordable solution for always on
NAS environments.

3-year limited warranty for greater
peace of mind.

As used for storage capacity, one megabyte (MB) = one million bytes, one gigabyte (GB) = one billion bytes, and one terabyte (TB) = one trillion bytes. Total accessible capacity varies depending on operating environment. As used for buffer or cache, one megabyte (MB) = 1,048,576 bytes. As used for transfer
rate or interface, megabyte per second (MB/s) = one million bytes per second, and gigabit per second (Gb/s) = one billion bits per second. Effective maximum SATA 3 Gb/s transfer rate calculated according to the Serial ATA specifcation published by the SATA-IO organization as of the date of this specifcation
sheet. Visit www.sata-io.org for details.
