WD has expanded its family of purpose-built network attached storage (NAS) hard drives with a 4 TB 3.5-inch drive as well as the world’s first 2.5-inch WD Red drive, available in capacities of 750 GB and 1 TB.

These additions to the Red family meet growing demand for higher capacity NAS storage, as well as the need for high capacity, reliable and compatible NAS drives built specifically for compact NAS enclosures.

WD Red is compatibility-tested with top NAS system manufacturers and optimised for performance and reduced power consumption. This next generation of WD Red hard drives deliver the best NAS experience for customers with a new version of NASware 2.0, which further improves drive reliability and protects customer data in the event of a power loss or disruption. WD Red hard drives also feature 3D Active Balance Plus, an enhanced balance control technology, which significantly improves overall drive performance and reliability.
