Our take on the WD Red Plus 3.5" SATA III Internal NAS Hard Drive, 2TB, 2-Pack, 64MB Cache

The WD Red Plus 2TB is a 3.5-inch SATA III hard drive built for NAS enclosures, sold here as a two-pack. It uses CMR recording and NASware 3.0 firmware, which tunes error recovery so drives in a multi-bay array don't drop out during rebuilds. WD rates it for 24/7 operation in NAS systems up to 8 bays. Against Seagate IronWolf and Toshiba N300 drives of the same size, it is the conservative pick: slower than 7200 rpm drives but quieter and cooler, and its CMR design is what NAS owners look for at this capacity.

What reviewers say

NAS owners generally rate the Red Plus line as a dependable, quiet drive for small arrays, and the CMR design is the main reason they pick it over cheaper SMR drives. Complaints center on sequential speed and on drives arriving dead or failing early in a small share of cases.

What people mention
  • ReliabilityPraisedOwners report steady operation in always-on NAS boxes over years of use.
  • NoisePraisedThe 5400 rpm class spindle keeps seek and idle noise low in home setups.
  • Recording techPraisedBuyers value that it is CMR rather than SMR, which matters for RAID rebuilds.
  • SpeedMixedSequential transfers are fine for backups but slower than 7200 rpm drives.
  • Failure rateCriticisedA minority of buyers report drives dead on arrival or failing within months.

Questions and answers

Is this drive CMR or SMR?
It is CMR. WD Red Plus drives use conventional magnetic recording, which is what most NAS owners want for RAID arrays.
How many bays can it go in?
WD rates Red Plus for NAS systems with up to 8 bays. Larger arrays call for Red Pro.
Is 5400 rpm fast enough for a NAS?
For backups, media streaming and file sharing, yes. It will not saturate a 2.5GbE or 10GbE link the way 7200 rpm drives can.
Does the two-pack include screws and a cable?
The bundle is two bare drives. Mounting screws and SATA cables usually come with the NAS enclosure, not the drives.
Can I use it in a desktop PC?
It works, but the firmware is tuned for RAID. A desktop drive is the better fit for a single-drive PC.
Where is the WD Red Plus 3.5" SATA III Internal NAS Hard Drive, 2TB, 2-Pack, 64MB Cache cheapest?
