WD Red Plus 10TB NAS Hard Drive

This 3.5-inch internal hard drive offers 10TB of storage on a SATA 6.0Gb/s interface. It uses conventional magnetic recording with a 256MB cache and operates at a 5400 RPM performance class. The drive is built for continuous operation in small to medium business NAS enclosures.

Suits multi-bay NAS up to 8 bays.

Designed for 24x7 workloads of up to 180 TB per year in systems with up to eight drive bays. NASware firmware helps maintain compatibility across supported enclosures. Buyers needing faster random-access speeds for operating systems or scratch disks should consider solid-state alternatives instead.

5400 RPM class and 180 TB/yr workload rating

The rotational speed class and annual workload limit define the sustained write throughput and longevity envelope for RAID arrays. Match these figures to your NAS workload profile before purchasing.
