WD Red Pro 6TB NAS Hard Drive WD Red Pro NAS hard drive is designed with SMB customers in mind, the 6TB Red Pro 7200 rpm SATA Internal NAS HDD. This is well-suited for medium to large-scale NAS environments with up to sixteen 3.5 inches drive bays. Engineered to handle increased workloads, this 6TB drive operates using a SATA 6 Gb/s interface, 128MB cache and a rotational speed of 7200 rpm, which all help to ensure uninterrupted data transfers with a sustained rate of up to 226 MB/s.

Larger NAS Bay Shock ProtectionWD Red Pro is equipped with a multi-axis shock sensor that automatically detects subtle shock events and dynamic fly height technology which adjusts each read-write function to compensate and protect the data. This combination of technology further protects the drives in larger 1 to 16 bay NAS environments and helps increase hard drive reliability.

3D Active Balance PlusOur enhanced dual-plane balance control technology significantly improves the overall drive performance and reliability. Hard drives that are not properly balanced may cause excessive vibration and noise in a multi-drive system, reduce the hard drive life span, and degrade the performance over time.

Extended Drive TestingA NAS environment that has up to 16 bays is very demanding on a hard drive with added vibration, heat and other factors. This is why every WD Red Pro drive is shipped with extended thermal cycle burn-in testing which ensure each drive for extended reliable operation.

Vibration ProtectionIn combination with 3D Active BalanceTM Plus, WD Red Pro also features hardware vibration compensation technology which monitors the drive to correct both linear and rotational vibration in real time, further increasing drive reliability.

Error Recovery PreventionBuilt specifically for RAID and NAS environments, WD Red Pro drives come equipped with error recovery controls as part of NASware 3.0, which prevents the drive from fallout in RAID applications.
