Expand your home server for less — WD Red Plus 2TB NAS drive falls to $155 at Newegg
Western Digital's internal hard drive hits 5400 RPM, CMR, 64MB cache, SATA 6Gb/s, and it's built for 24/7 NAS use.
The WD Red Plus 2TB hard drive, designed for continuous operation in NAS arrays, is currently priced at $155 on Newegg, a $13 discount from its $168 original price. This drive is ideal for users looking to build or expand a NAS array, offering CMR recording for RAID reliability and rated for continuous use. However, those seeking higher capacity per dollar, standard desktop use, or faster 7200 RPM performance may want to consider other options like the Red Pro series.
The WD Red Plus HDD runs on Western Digital's NASware firmware, known for its performance and reliability in multi-bay NAS workloads. With a 3-year limited warranty, 5400 RPM, 64MB cache, and SATA 6Gb/s, this hard drive is a dependable choice for NAS users. While it may not offer the largest capacity or highest speed, its steady price and reliability make it a solid option for NAS enthusiasts.
For those needing larger capacity, the 4TB and 8TB versions are available at $195 and $355 respectively, often bundled with other deals.
