Overview

CMR platters that stay safe through parity RAID rebuilds, at a capacity and price that suit a home NAS well. Eight terabytes at 5400 rpm keeps heat and noise down in a packed enclosure. Rated for 24/7 duty at 180 TB/yr; balanced rather than fast.

Great NAS drive, slower rebuilds
CMR is the priority for me so the 5400 rpm rebuild time is a fair trade. Rock solid in an eight-month-old array.

Dependable home NAS storage
Bought a pair for a mirror. Quiet, cool, and CMR which is what matters for RAID. Happy with the purchase.
Tara S.Feb 13, 2025
Quiet and cool at 5400 rpm
NASware firmware and low vibration. The 5400 rpm keeps heat and noise down in my packed enclosure. Ideal small-array drive.

CMR, safe for parity RAID
The whole reason to buy Red Plus over plain Red is CMR platters. Rebuilt my RAID with these and zero drama. Balanced cost for a home NAS.
