The WD Red Plus 8TB is a 3.5-inch SATA hard drive built for NAS enclosures, with a 7200 RPM spindle, 256MB cache and CMR recording. It is designed for 24/7 multi-drive operation and uses NASware firmware tuned for RAID and vibration-heavy bays. It suits home media servers, small offices and backup boxes that need a lot of space per bay. Against 5400 RPM desktop drives it is faster but louder and warmer; against WD Red Pro it gives up some vibration tolerance and warranty length.
