We’ve partnered with Ontrack to provide protection for routine and extreme data loss scenarios such as drive failure, viruses, and software issues. With these hard drives being pushed entirely at the home and small office NAS market, we found no better testing platform than a wide range of Synology DiskStations. The Red has all the features needed like no unnecessary head parking, drive tolerances that support RAID environments and3D Active Balance technology which reduces vibrational wear on the drives. The Western Digital Red family of hard drives is designed for the 1 to 6 bay SOHO NAS space, which is about as specialized as it gets. In terms of performance, the WD Red did very well not only as a single drive, but increased proportionally as we scaled up the testing in the Synology DiskStations.

If you are encountering performance that is not what you expected, please consider our products designed for intensive workloads.

Western Digital's new marketing for the SMR-equipped Red drives labels them as for SOHO use only and clarifies that this means low-intensity operations with lots of idle time in between—and no ZFS. Cost range will vary depending upon Service Level, type of device, cause of data loss, drive condition, and other factors. SMR technology is implemented in different ways – drive-managed SMR (DMSMR), on the device itself, as in the case of our lower capacity (2TB – 6TB) WD Red HDDs, and host-managed SMR, which is used in high-capacity data center applications.Use of an internal HDD in a RAID configuration or device will void the Data Recovery Plan purchased with the product. We tested our batch of eight WD Red hard drives in varying configurations ranging from single drive to 2, 5 and 8-bay Synology NAS deployments. They’ve worked with Synology, QNAP and other NAS providers to make sure the WD Red was qualified as compatible with these popular systems and host chipsets. If there isn't prominent disambiguation between Red, Red Plus, and Red Pro on the product pages themselves, the new branding may not reach many of the people who need to see it.
