Western Digital Red, SATA 6G, IntelliPower, 3.5 inches - 8 TB [WD80EFZX]

The new color for NAS! Among the previous Black-, Blue- and Green-plate series is joined by a further color "Red". The plates from the brand new Red Series are specially designed for continuous operation, a now very important target group. This makes them ideal for use in NAS systems and RAID setups. With 128 MB cache, the plates of the Red-series provide more than enough reserves for this purpose.

The presented hard disk is a new high-performance NAS hard drive with high transmission rates and a storage capacity of 8 TB. This is a version of Red modern SATA 6G port.

With 178 MB / s, the limit of the SATA interface st Although far from exhausted, but the built here SATA 6G not only offers the advantage of higher bandwidth. After it became clear filed, for example, to increase energy efficiency and to optimize the transmission of multiple simultaneous data streams with high bandwidth and the protocol.

NAS is an impressive interface with which it is playing easily enables wirelessly exchange data between different devices quickly. The Western Digital Red hard drives are equipped with NASware 3.0. This increases the system compatibility and allows seamless integration into existing network infrastructures.

3D Active Balance Plus in the WD Red is an advanced technology for mass balancing on two levels. It improves the overall performance and reliability of the drive. Hard drives without the correct mass balance can cause with multiple drives in a system excessive vibration and noise, reduce the lifetime of hard disks and can fall over time the performance. Therefore, Western Digital applies its 8TB hard drive with an enormous average lifetime (MTBF) of one million hours.

At 6.4 W in read / write mode, 5.2 W idle and 0.7 in standby mode to keep the power consumption of Western Digital Red 8TB relatively low, not only the NAS system will benefit, but also the purse.
