Professional solutions
Designed specically with SMB
customers in mind, the WD Red
family has expanded with the addition
of WD Red Pro, which is available
for the 8 to 16 bay medium to
large-scale NAS environments. With
capacities from 2 to 4 TB, WD Red
Pro carries a 5-year limited warranty
and was engineered to handle the
increased workloads from your
business.
3D Active Balance
™
Plus
Our enhanced dual-plane balance
control technology signicantly
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. (EFRX
models only)
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 3.0 is designed for the
24x7 environment.
Lower operating temperatures
Innovative technology reduces
power consumption and lowers the
operating temperature, resulting in a
more reliable and affordable solution
for always on NAS environments.
Longer warranty coverage
The WD Red drive is backed by a
3-year limited warranty for greater
peace of mind.

application. Our hard drives are warranted against defects in materials and workmanship in the system for which they were designed. Use in systems other than for what the hard drive
was designed could result in compatibility problems that affect proper function, unrelated to material and/or workmanship defects. For best results, be sure to select the appropriate
product for your application by consulting our product spec sheets on our website at www.wd.com or by calling our customer support line where we would be happy to help you
