Take the following into consideration when choosing a hard drive for your NAS:</div> <ul> <li> <strong>Compatibility: </strong>Unlike desktop drives, WD Red Pro hard drives are specifically designed and tested for NAS and include NASware&trade; technology which fine tunes drive parameters to match NAS system workloads for optimum performance.</li> <li> <strong>Reliability:</strong> Desktop drives aren&rsquo;t typically designed for the demands of an always-on NAS environment. WD Red Pro hard drives are designed to perform under tough conditions encountered in high-intensity 24x7 multi-user NAS environments.</li> <li> <strong>RAID Ready: </strong>WD Red hard drives are engineered with RAID error recovery control to help reduce failures within multi-bay NAS systems, unlike most desktop drives that are configured for generic use.</li> <li> <strong>Noise and Vibration Protection:</strong> Designed to operate solo, desktop drives typically offer little or no protection from the noise and vibration present in a multi-drive system. WD Red hard drives include Rotation Vibration (RV) sensors that anticipate and proactively counteract disturbances caused by increased vibration often found in multi-bay NAS systems.</li> </ul>
