Blazing Fast + Reliable Data Storage
C. G.✓ Verified Purchase•January 20, 2024
As a power user running a home NAS system, I need both speed and reliability from my hard drives. After putting this 8TB WD Red Plus model to the test, I'm thoroughly impressed on both fronts!
Using `hdparm` to benchmark, I recorded read speeds exceeding 185 MB/sec when connected directly via SATA. That's faster than Western Digital's claimed speed and almost double what I get from older drives. Transfers and backups take half the time!
++++
hdparm -t --direct /dev/sda
/dev/sda:
Timing O_DIRECT disk reads: 558 MB in 3.01 seconds = 185.50 MB/sec
++++
In addition to the great performance, this drive runs cool and quiet in my NAS enclosure thanks to the 5400RPM rotational speed. And it's designed for 24/7 operation, giving me confidence in its longevity and reliability under constant use.
With 8TB capacity, I've got plenty of headroom for backups, media storage, and archiving important files while still leaving space to grow. And the CMR technology means maximum compatibility with my NAS RAID.
For home and small office NAS setups that demand a perfect blend of high capacity, sustained performance, cool operation and proven reliability, the WD Red Plus line is a winner.
This drive meets my needs perfectly!

Be advised, multiple versions!

I ordered 2 of 8TB red plus in the past and another 2 recently . The first two seemed to be faster! Checking the firmware and serial number, the first two were spinning at 7200rpm, and the last two at 5400rpm. !!! They should have this as one main product description specially since they will be used in NAS and one slow drive, will slow down all of them.
So far so good

I bought them for my new Synology NAS, I hesitated between the red, red plus and red pro and opted for the plus. So far so good, the transfer from my old WD MyCloud went faster than I expected and they have been working well so far. They are a little noisy but I use the NAS for back up so the drive are not continually working
Well packed; wonderful customer support; Good quality

Experience Reliable Storage with the Western Digital 8TB Red Plus NAS Drive
Iupilon ✓ Verified Purchase•December 26, 2023
I recently purchased the Western Digital 8TB Red Plus NAS Internal Hard Drive and so far, I am very pleased with its performance. It is fast, quiet, and has a high capacity. I tested it in a SATA USB cradle and it is one of the quietest large drives I have heard. The straight-line write speed is over 200 MB/s and the straight-line read speed is close to 220 MB/s. The drive arrived without any bad blocks and has a good price per GB. Western Digital's decision to switch to classic CMR technology makes this drive as fast as a consumer-grade spinning drive can get. The drive is compatible with both FreeBSD and Linux, as seen by its transfer speeds of 600.000 MB/s. Overall, I would highly recommend this drive.
