Western Digital Caviar Red 1TB SATA III 64MB

WD Red hard drives are designed and manufactured specifically for home and SOHO NAS systems. WD’s proprietary NASware™ technology enables seamless system integration and robust error recovery controls in RAID configurations. WD Red drives are engineered for energy efficiency and reliability making them the ideal solution for demanding 24x7 NAS environments.

Product Features
NASWare™ — WD’s advanced firmware technology enables seamless integration and balanced performance. Intelligent error recovery controls prevent drives from dropping off the RAID due to long recovery cycles.

3D Active Balance Plus – We’ve tightened specifications on our exclusive dual plane balance technology to further minimize emitted vibration, lower noise, improve the hard drive performance and reduce the potential for errors during read/write operations.

Remarkable energy efficiency – Engineered for energy efficiency and lower operating temperatures, WD Red drives reduce the demands on the total system, resulting in a highly reliable affordable solution for 24x7 environments.

Free WD Red premium support line – Exclusively for WD Red customers, WD offers premium support routed to NAS experts with 24x7, English language and regional support.

Best In Class Reliability — specifically designed and manufactured for NAS systems with an MTBF of 1,000,000 hours backed by a leading 3-year limited warranty.
NoTouch™ Ramp Load Technology — The recording head never touches the disk media ensuring significantly less wear to the recording head and media as well as better drive protection in transit.

Native Command Queuing (NCQ) — Server feature for performance in random I/O transaction environments. It aggregates many small random data transfers and allows the disk to reorder the commands in a sequential order for faster access.

Preemptive Wear Leveling (PWL) — Proactively monitors and prevents magnetic wear during high read/write duty cycle applications.

Advanced Format (AF) — Technology adopted by WD and other drive manufacturers as one of multiple ways to continue growing hard drive capacities. AF is a more efficient media format that enables increased areal densities.
