## Description

4TB RED PLUS 128MB CMR 3.5IN

Review: The Western Digital 8TB WD Red Plus (WD80EFZZ) is the gold standard for anyone building or upgrading a home or small-office Network Attached Storage (NAS). This drive gives you the one thing you absolutely need for a multi-bay system: reliability through CMR technology, without the deafening noise or excessive heat of a full-speed enterprise drive. Why I Highly Recommend the WD Red Plus: CMR is Non-Negotiable: The "Plus" designation means this drive uses Conventional Magnetic Recording (CMR). This is crucial for multi-drive (RAID) systems. Unlike the SMR (Shingled) drives, CMR maintains consistent write speeds, which prevents the painful performance slowdowns and potential array failures during parity checks or rebuilds. Built for 24/7 Reliability: With a 180 TB/year workload rating and 1,000,000 hour MTBF, this drive is engineered to run constantly. You can trust it with your photos, backups, and Plex media library. Quiet and Cool (5640 RPM): The 5640 RPM speed class is a perfect compromise. It is noticeably quieter and cooler than the 7200 RPM Pro drives, which is vital if your NAS sits in a home office or bedroom. NASware 3.0 Firmware: This exclusive firmware is baked in to improve drive compatibility, reduce issues in a RAID environment, and help with error recovery (TLER). It truly is plug-and-play with Synology, QNAP, and custom builds running TrueNAS. A Note on Performance: Don't let the 5640 RPM number fool you; this drive still delivers excellent real-world speeds for network streaming and backups (user tests often show sustained speeds around 180-200MB/s). If you need absolute max speed, look at the Red Pro line, but be prepared for more noise and heat. For a general-purpose, always-on home NAS, this is the superior choice. Final Verdict: If data integrity and quiet operation are priorities for your 8-bay or smaller NAS, the WD80EFZZ is the drive to buy. It's the perfect mix of price, performance, and peace of mind.
Review: These are very good hard drives for your NAS. I have been exclusively using WD Red drives in my NAS’ without any issues. I tend to have very poor luck with Seagate hard drives for some reason, with drives prematurely failing, but not with WD. Not the fastest drive, but perfect for my use of mainly being storage and a media server. I do find the newer drives to be much more noisier when reading and writing than older WD Red drives, which I still have many running without any issue after several years, but it doesn’t bother me.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this WD Red drive backed by WD's 3-year limited warranty? I don't see it in the product description.**
A: I had an issue with some of the WD Red drives I had purchased through Amazon...
I had a failure and contacted WD for replacement under warranty...  
I was told that the drive I had only had a one year warranty period not the three year.
The drive serial number started with WD and that indicated it was a drive from a single disk NAS..  those have only a one year warranty
Where the other drives carry the 3 year.  
What is the difference in the drives i can not say or tell from looking at them and no other information was provided by WD.
I was told I needed to go back to the seller and see if they would fix the issue.
Since I've bought a number of drives over the last three years one at a time and registered them with WD, I didn't mark each drive and could not tell which drive came from what seller since the invoices didn't indicate the serial number of the drives..   I have 4 other drives in that situation. Since it was registered at the time I received the drive I know it was within the 3 years but after the 1 year warranty that WD would support.  I had to buy a replacement..  Thing is that all the drive were in WD boxes and sealed in static bags.

**Q: Can this drive be installed into an external HD case and used as a single drive media server or does it have to be installed in a NAS case?**
A: It's designed for continuous use and not intended to be shut down and restarted on a routine basis.  Those that say that they lack the performance of a desktop HD is just not true. they have similar performance characteristics with most 5200 RPM drives. One typically doesn't put a 4TB drive in a PC as a system drive. Usually, you would use a 1 TB drive that are typically 7200 RPM, which does provide better performance. If you really need that much space  in your PC (system or otherwise) you're better off not using a NAS drive, something like the Seagate Barracuda.

**Q: Why is this more expensive than an external wd 10 tb drive such as: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=wd+10tb+elements+desktop+usb+3.0+external+hard+drive&re**
A: The retail storage market is more competitive. NAS and Enterprise drives meet 24/7/365 read write reliability benchmarks and typically have a 3-5 year warranty. Retail consumer drives may in some cases last as long as NAS drives, but typically will have a shorter warranty. Note that liberating a hard drive from a retail external enclosure (to use in a PC) would likely void the drives warranty altogether.

**Q: Can this drive be used to replace the internal hard drive within the apple 3tb time capsule?**
A: Depends if it uses a 2.5in or 3.5inch drive or not. Specs are probably fine but need to know what size of hard drive it takes. Based on the dimensions of the apple device, it might accommodate this. Based on the apple dimensions, I would be surprised if it uses 3.5in drives but it isn't impossible.
