Desktop Drives vs. WD Red Plus
Do right by your NAS and choose the drive
purpose-built for NAS with an array of features to
help preserve your data and maintain optimum
performance. Take the following into consideration
when choosing a hard drive for your NAS:
Compatibility:
Unlike desktop drives, these drives
are specifically tested for compatibility with NAS
systems for optimum performance.
Reliability:
The always-on environments of NAS
and RAID can reach intense temperatures. WD Red
Plus drives are designed and tested to perform
under those extreme conditions.
Error Recovery Controls:
WD Red Plus NAS hard
drives are specifically designed with RAID error
recovery control to help reduce failures within the
NAS system.
Noise and Vibration Protection:

operate solo, desktop drives typically offer little
or no protection from the noise and vibration

system environments.
