WD 8TB 3.5" SATA INT. HDD 256MB 7200 RPM RED PRO (WD8003FFBX)

Compatibility: Unlike desktop drives, these drives are specifically tested for compatibility with NAS systems for optimum performance.  

Reliability: The always-on environment of a NAS or RAID is a hot one, and desktop drives aren’t typically designed and tested under those conditions like  WD Red™ Pro drives are. 

Error Recovery Controls:  WD Red™ Pro NAS hard drives are specifically designed with RAID error recovery control to help reduce failures within the NAS system. 

Noise and Vibration Protection: Designed to operate solo, desktop drives typically offer little or no protection from the noise and vibration present in a multi-drive system. WD Red™ Pro drives are designed to thrive in multi-bay NAS system environments.
