## Overview

The Western Digital 8TB WD Red Plus NAS Internal Hard Drive is a high-capacity, reliable storage solution designed specifically for small to medium business NAS systems.

Built with NASware firmware for compatibility and endurance, it ensures stable 24/7 operation, making it ideal for RAID arrays, backups, and multimedia storage with a 3-year limited warranty.

## Description

Packed with power to handle the small- to medium-sized business NAS environments and increased workloads for SOHO customers, WD Red Plus is ideal for archiving and sharing, as well as RAID array rebuilding on systems using ZFS and other file systems. Built and tested for up to 8-bay NAS systems, these drives give you the flexibility, versatility, and confidence in storing and sharing your precious home and work files.

Review: WesternDigital 8TB - This is an excellent NAS hard drive with 8 TB of storage, specifically designed for home or small business NAS systems. Its stable performance, low noise level, and good energy efficiency make it ideal for backups, multimedia storage, or RAID configurations. Many users highlight its reliability and ample capacity for large amounts of data. Some mention that it can be a bit noisy during intense data transfers, but overall, it offers great value for money and reliable 24/7 operation.
Review: High capacity, CMR, no errors, runs stable (so far) - Upon opening the box, I ran SMART extended drive test using Linux GParted. SMART reported no errors. I then formatted with NTFS 64kB with whole-drive Bitlocker. Then I ran another extended drive test. Then 6TB of backup data was transferred to the drive and a hash manifest was generated for each directory. At this point, the drive had been operating continuously for days, sweeping the entire surface multiple times with tests, reads, and writes. No errors (yet). This will be a cold storage drive in a ruggedized USB-C enclosure, accessed only a few times per year.

### ⭐ Quality Issues?
*by R***Y on November 15, 2025*

Bought two 8TB WD Red Plus HDDs 4 days ago, to put into a UGREEN NAS DH2300 2 bay NAS. One of the drives was defective so I returned it and Amazon sent me a replacement which arrived today. Unfortunately, the replacement was also bad. I swapped the position of the two drives inside the NAS and the problem moved with it. I also mounted the replacement drive in a disk enclosure and verified with my computer that it was indeed bad. Now waiting for a replacement to the replacement, Update: When Amazon sent me an email saying the replacement would be delayed due to supply management issues, I cancelled the replacement order and bought one at the local Best Buys. $10 more than Amazon's price, but it worked! Now configuring the NAS. Western Digital used to make excellent drives, has the quality gone downhill, or did Amazon get a bad batch?
