Desktop drives vs. WD RedTM
In a Network Attached Storage device, a desktop hard drive is not typically
designed for NAS environments. Do right by your NAS and choose the drive
designed 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: Without being tested for compatibility with
your NAS system, optimum performance is not guaranteed.
-
Reliability: The always-on environment of a NAS or RAID is a hot one. And
desktop drives aren't typically designed and tested under those conditions.
WD RedTM drives are.
- Error
recovery controls: WD RedTM NAS hard drives are specifically designed with
RAID error recovery control to help reduce failures within the NAS system.
Desktop drives are not typically designed for RAID environments.
- 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 RedTM drives are designed for multi-bay NAS systems.
WD Red for Home
Stream, backup, share, and organize your digital content at home with a NAS and
WD RedTM drives designed to effortlessly share content with the devices in your
home. NASware 3.0 technology increases your drives' compatibility with your
devices, TV, stereo, and more. Live in a connected world.
WD Red for Small Business
Businesses thrive on productivity and efficiency - two of the guiding principles
built into the design of WD RedTM drives. It's the hard drive of choice for 1 to
8 bay systems. NASware 3.0 technology allows for seamless integration with your
existing network so WD RedTM can share and backup files at the speed of your
business. And for larger businesses with up to 16 bays, count on WD Red ProTM
drives
