WD Red Plus 1TB SATA NAS drive

This 1TB 2.5-inch drive uses the SATA 6.0Gb/s interface and spins at a 5400 RPM performance class with 16MB cache. It is built for small or medium business NAS systems that run in a 24x7 environment and supports up to eight drive bays.

Upgrade from desktop drives in always-on NAS

Desktop hard drives are not tested for the continuous workloads or vibration profiles found in multi-bay NAS enclosures. The jump is worth it when your NAS serves files around the clock and the manufacturer rates the drive for up to 180 TB/yr workload rate.

Standard 2.5-inch SATA installation

The drive fits 9.5mm height bays and connects with standard SATA data and power cables. Common issues include using a drive tray that only accepts 3.5-inch form factors or forgetting to enable AHCI mode in the NAS operating system for proper hot-swap support.

Questions about this item

Will the 9.5 mm height fit my laptop's 2.5 inch drive bay?

Yes, the drive is 9.5 mm tall, 69.85 mm wide and 100.20 mm long, matching the standard 2.5 inch SATA laptop bay dimensions.

Is there a jumper or bracket needed to install the SATA 6.0Gb/s drive in a laptop?

No jumper or bracket is required; simply slide the drive into the bay, connect the SATA data and power cables, and secure it with the laptop's mounting screws.

How often should I check the 180 TB/yr workload rating for a NAS running 24x7?

The 180 TB per year rating is a design limit; monitor total written data in your NAS software and plan replacement if annual writes approach that figure.
