WD RED 16TB PRO NAS HARD DRIVE
Exclusive NASwareā¢Ā 3.0 Technology
Our exclusive advanced firmware technology, NASwareā¢Ā 3.0, enables seamless integration, robust data protection and optimal performance for NAS systems operating under heavy demand. Built into every WD Redā¢Ā Pro hard drive, NASware 3.0ās advanced technology improves storage performance by increasing compatibility, integration, upgradeability, and reliability.
Built For Optimum NAS Compatibility
WD Redā¢Ā Pro drives with NASwareā¢Ā 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 Redā¢Ā Pro drive is one of the most compatible drives available for NAS enclosures. But donāt take our word for it. WD Redā¢Ā Pro drives are a reflection of extensive NAS partner technology engagement and compatibility-testing.
Larger NAS Bay Shock Protection
WD Redā¢Ā Pro NAS HDDs are equipped with a multi-axis shock sensor that automatically detects subtle shock events and dynamic fly height technology which 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 enhanced 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 the performance over time.
Error Recovery Prevention
Built specifically for RAID and NAS environments, WD Redā¢Ā Pro NAS HDDs come equipped with error recovery controls as part of NASwareā¢Ā 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 Redā¢Ā Pro drive is shipped with extended thermal cycle burn-in testing to help ensure each drive is tested for extended reliable operation.
Longer Warranty Coverage
WD Redā¢Ā Pro NAS hard drives comes with a 5-year limited warranty for an even greater peace of mind.
Desktop Drives Vs. WD Redā¢Ā Pro
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 environment of a NAS or RAID is a hot one, and desktop drives arenāt typically designed and tested under those conditions like WD Redā¢Ā Pro drives are.
⢠Error Recovery Controls: WD Redā¢Ā Pro NAS hard drives are specifically designed with RAID error recovery control to help reduce failures within the NAS system.
⢠Noise and Vibration Protection: Designed to operate solo, desktop drives typically offer little or no protection from the noise and vibration present in a multi-drive system. WD Redā¢Ā Pro drives are designed to thrive in multi-bay NAS system environments.
