The features of the Western Digital Red 12 TB in detail
The Western Digital Red Pro 12TB filled with helium and hermetically sealed. Helium has only one-seventh of the density of air, so replacing air with helium in a hard disk drive significantly reduces the air turbulence caused by spinning disks. It also minimizes power consumption and temperatures, allowing Western Digital to accommodate more platters in a traditional 3.5-inch form factor.

This design offers a 50% capacity gain while still saving up to 23% energy. Thus, the hard drive consumes only 6 watts in operation and runs about four to five degrees below the temperature of standard hard drives. With 2.8 watts in idle mode and 0.6 in standby mode, the remaining power consumption of the Western Digital Red Pro 12TB is very low, which not only benefits the NAS system, but also the wallet.

Attention: Please note that this hard drive model with 26.1 mm is slightly higher than that of most other 3.5-inch HDDs. If necessary, measure whether the hard drive fits into your PC, NAS, or external hard drive enclosure.

At 240 MB / s, the limit of the SATA interface is far from exhausted, but the SATA 6G built in here not only offers the advantage of higher bandwidth. The protocol has also been significantly streamlined, for example, to increase energy efficiency and to optimize the transmission of multiple simultaneous high-bandwidth data streams.

NAS is an impressive interface that makes it easy to wirelessly swap data between devices quickly and easily. The Western Digital Red Pro hard drives are equipped with NASware 3.0. This increases system compatibility and allows seamless integration with existing network infrastructures.

3D Active Balance Plus in the WD Red Pro is an advanced mass balancing technology on two levels. Overall, it improves the performance and reliability of the drive. Hard-drive hard drives can cause excessive vibration and noise in a multi-drive system, reduce hard drive life, and slow performance over time. As a result, Western Digital also advertises its 12TB hard drive with an enormous MTBF of 1,000,000 hours.
