Western Digital expands its WD Red and WD Red PRO NAS hard drive series and makes 10TB-capacity models. The WD Red and WD Red PRO drives are specially designed for small-to-medium business NAS systems as well as personal and home NAS solutions. These drives are also one of the helium-based high capacity hard drive models Western Digital offers with outstanding reliability. With the larger capacity models, builders can scale up their NAS storage needs with ease.
Western Digital aims to address the increasing demand for reliable, affordable and larger-capacity NAS solutions. Designed with WD’s HelioSeal helium-technology, the WD Red drives provides higher capacity and performance to meet the increasing storage needs of always-on, single-to-8-bay NAS systems. Upgrading from the 8TB models would easily enable a 25% data storage upgrade for any NAS system.
