Model Number: WD60EFZX WD Red Plus Internal NAS HDD 3.5″ – 6TB

WD Red Plus 6TB NAS Internal Hard Drive (WD60EFZX) – 3.5-inch SATA 6Gb/s CMR HDD for RAID Systems

Body Content: The WD Red Plus 6TB (Model: WD60EFZX) is the powerhouse storage solution designed specifically for small to medium-sized business NAS environments and home office power users. Packed with the power to handle the increased workloads of a networked environment, the WD Red Plus is ideal for archiving, sharing, and rebuilding RAID arrays on systems utilizing ZFS and other advanced file systems.

The CMR Advantage for RAID Reliability Unlike standard desktop drives, the WD60EFZX uses Conventional Magnetic Recording (CMR) technology. This ensures consistent write performance and prevents the “RAID dropout” issues often associated with SMR drives. Whether you are running a 2-bay home media server or an 8-bay office storage rack, CMR technology ensures your data remains accessible and your parity remains stable during intensive rebuilds.

Exclusive NASware™ 3.0 Technology Built into every WD Red Plus drive, NASware 3.0 optimizes the drive’s parameters to match NAS workloads. This improves compatibility with your NAS enclosure, enhances system integration, and provides better data protection. It specifically addresses noise and vibration concerns, ensuring that the drive thrives in the 24/7 “always-on” environment of a NAS.

Cool, Quiet, and Power Efficient NAS systems are often located in home offices or small workspaces. The WD Red Plus 6TB is engineered to run cool and quiet. By reducing power consumption, the drive minimizes heat output, which is essential for the longevity of both the hard drive and the NAS enclosure itself.
