Questions and answers

Is the WD Red Plus 8TB CMR or SMR?
It is CMR. WD moved the Red Plus line to conventional magnetic recording, which keeps rebuild times predictable in a RAID array.
Will it work in my Synology or QNAP NAS?
Yes. It is a standard 3.5-inch SATA drive, so it fits most Synology, QNAP, TerraMaster and DIY NAS bays.
Is 5400 RPM fast enough for a NAS?
For backup, media streaming and file sharing, yes. Sequential reads are fine; expect slower large-file transfers than a 7200 RPM drive.
Is $354.99 a good price for 8TB?
It is the only new price listed as of November 5, 2026, so there is no lower new price to compare against. Check the price history before buying if budget matters.
What is in the box?
The drive itself. Screws and SATA cables are not typically included, so have mounting hardware ready for a DIY build.
Can I use it as a desktop boot drive?
It works, but it is tuned for NAS use. A 7200 RPM desktop drive or an SSD is a better choice for an OS drive.
Where is the Western Digital WD 3.5" Red Plus 8TB SATA III 6Gbps HDD WD80EFPX-SPC4ZN0 cheapest?
At Amazon, for $354.99, as of our latest check.
