Your NAS is full again, or that one drive in your RAID just started clicking at 2am and you're staring at a rebuild that'll take nine hours. You don't need another consumer drive that stutters on sustained writes and leaves your array in limbo.
This is the drive built for the job. The WD Red Plus 6TB (WD60EFPX) uses CMR recording — not SMR — so your NAS writes data without the pause-and-think. It's rated for continuous 24/7 operation in enclosures up to 8 bays, and the NASware 3.0 firmware handles the RAID balancing so you don't have to babysit it. 5400RPM, 256MB cache, SATA III 6Gb/s. Pull the dead drive, slot this one in, rebuild, get back to running the business.
Backed by Western Digital's 3-year limited warranty. If you need a second drive for a mirror or you're sitting on a 4-bay Synology and running out of room, this is the spec that fits. Add it to your cart and we'll have it on its way
