WD expands Its Power of Choice with Red Hard Drives
Western Digital (WD) has announced expansion of its category-leading WD Red line of SATA hard drives specifically designed for home and small office NAS (network attached storage) systems with one to five drive bays. WD Red hard drives are now available in a 2.5-inch form- factor offering 1TB capacity and a new 3.5-inch 4TB capacity. WD Red hard drives are powered by NASware 2.0 technology and are optimized for performance and reduced power consumption.
The WD Red product line serves the unique environment of NAS and meets the growing demand for affordable, reliable, and compatible storage. We also wanted to deliver a highly reliable and compatible 2.5-inch hard drive built specifically for small NAS. This small form factor enables our customers to use high-capacity NAS hard drives with high-performance, quiet operation and low-power consumption in compact NAS enclosures. We also see an opportunity in smaller-footprint NAS systems, media players and other industrial applications,” said Matt Rutledge, VP Client Storage, WD.
The next generation of WD Red hard drives delivers the best NAS experience for customers with a new version of NASware 2.0 to protect customer data in the event of a power loss or disruption. Exclusive for WD Red customers, WD offers free premium 24x7 dedicated phone support and a three-year limited warranty.
Shipping now through select distributors and resellers, WD Red hard drives are covered by a three-year limited warranty. MSRP for the new 2.5-inch WD Red 1TB, model WD10JFCX is Rs.6,700 (plus local taxes) and the 3.5-inch 4TB, model WD40EFRX is Rs.15,652 (plus local taxes).
