Desktop drives vs. WD Red™ Plus
Choose the right NAS-designed drive for your system with a range of features to help protect your data and ensure optimal performance. Consider the following when choosing a hard drive for your NAS:
- Compatibility: Unlike desktop drives, these drives have undergone specific compatibility testing with NAS systems to ensure optimal performance.
- Reliability: The always-on environments of a NAS or RAID system are subject to elevated temperatures. Desktop drives are typically not designed or tested for these conditions, whereas WD Red™ Plus drives are.
- Error Recovery Controls: WD Red™ Plus hard drives are specifically designed with RAID error recovery controls, which helps reduce NAS system failures.
- Noise and vibration protection: Designed to operate independently, desktop drives typically offer little to no protection from the noise and vibration that plague multi-drive systems. WD Red™ Plus drives are designed to excel in multi-bay NAS environments.
