Housed in a 3.5-inch form factor and featuring a robust 8TB capacity, the Western Digital Red Plus 8TB NAS HDD is optimised for RAID-optimised NAS systems with up to 8 bays. Its SATA interface and 5640 RPM speed deliver data transfer rates of up to 185MB/s, ensuring rapid file access and dependable system responsiveness, even during peak workloads.

What truly sets this drive apart is Western Digital’s NASware™ technology — fine-tuned firmware that improves system compatibility, streamlines error recovery, and enhances data protection in multi-drive NAS environments. Coupled with CMR (Conventional Magnetic Recording), it delivers consistent, reliable storage performance that keeps your critical data safe and accessible.

Designed for 24/7 operation, the Western Digital Red Plus 8TB NAS HDD offers an endurance rating of 180TB/year and a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of 1 million hours. Vibration and acoustic control technologies, including dual-plane balance and RV sensors, minimise system disruptions and extend drive life — a must for high-performance NAS setups.

In contrast to standard desktop drives, this HDD is tested and validated across a wide range of NAS systems, offering unmatched compatibility, lower power consumption, and superior thermal management. It’s also backed by a 3-year limited warranty and world-class Western Digital support.
