Desktop disks vs. WD Red
Hard disks for use in desktops are not specifically intended for use in Network Attached Storage devices (NAS). Make the right choice for your NAS and choose the drive designed specifically for the NAS with the right features to ensure that your data is properly protected and optimum performance is maintained. Consider the following when choosing a hard drive for your NAS:

  • Compatibility: Optimal performance is not guaranteed if the drive has not been tested for compatibility with your NAS system.
  • Reliability: The load can be quite heavy in a NAS or RAID environment that is continuously active. Desktop disks are not designed and tested for use under those circumstances. WD Red drives are.
  • Error recovery checks: The WD Red NAS hard drives are specially designed with RAID error recovery check so that the number of errors in the NAS system is limited. Desktop disks are not designed for use in RAID environments.
  • Sound and vibration protection: Desktop disks are designed to use one at a time and usually offer little or no protection against sound and vibration in a multi-disk system. The WD Red drives are specially designed for use in multi-position NAS systems.
