Western Digital Red Pro 4000 GB 64 megabytes cache

Hard disk WD Red Pro is based on the model of RED, which is the world's first model developed exclusively for NAS systems . The actual unit is tested to be useable in continuous operation (24x7) not only in the home or small business NAS with one to five positions, but in medium to large corporate storage systems with 8 to 16 positions. The basis is to 35% increase in MTBF statistical indicators (Mean time between failures), which indicates the mean time in hours, after which it is expected that the device will work flawlessly. WD drives for Red and Red are simply more resilient and robust solution than what the standard desktop hard drives, yet is not significantly more expensive - precisely because it unhesitatingly recommend for your NAS!

• Compatibility - For hard drives for desktop computer can be a problem of integration into the NAS system.
• Reliability - Desktop hard drives are not capable of long-term work at high temperatures or in continuous operation. A number of Red WD applies 3-year limited warranty with Red Pro Series WD But we went even further and offer it with a 5 year limited warranty, so you can be even quieter.
• The error recovery - Desktop hard drives are not intended for use in RAID environments and include drivers that prevent the RAID driver to intervene when errors leading to failure of the RAID array. Follow RAID array reconstruction costs users time and unnecessary effort.
• Noise and vibration - Desktop drives are optimized to minimize noise and vibration. In addition to reducing the user's comfort and their installation in NAS systems run the risk of reduced reliability and durability.

For proper functionality under Windows XP and older OS, we recommend WD Align utility.
