Exclusive NASware 3.0 Technology

Our exclusive advanced firmware technology, NASware 3.0 enables seamless integration, robust data protection and optimal performance for NAS systems operating under heavy demand.

Built for Optimum NAS Compatibility

Desktop drives aren't purpose-built for NAS. But WD Red Pro drives with NASware 3.0 technology are purpose-built for NAS. Our exclusive technology takes the guesswork out of selecting a drive and balances performance and reliability in NAS and RAID environments. Simply put, a WD Red Pro drive is one of the most compatible drives available for medium to large NAS enclosures. But don't take our word for it. WD Red Pro drives are a reflection of an extensive NAS partner technology engagement and compatibility-testing resulting in a leading compatibility list for NAS systems.

Large NAS Bay Shock Protection

In a Network Attached Storage device, a desktop hard drive is not typically designed for NAS environments. WD Red Pro drives are equipped with a multi-axis shock sensor that automatically detects subtle shock events and dynamic fly height technology which ad-justs each read-write function to compensate and protect the data. This combination of technology further protects the drives in larger 1 to 24 bay NAS environments and helps increase hard drive reliability.
