Western Digital WD Red Plus 6TB NAS Hard Drive WD60EFPX 3.5-inch SATA 6Gb/s 5400 RPM 256MB Cache CMR RAID Optimized with RV Sensors
Description
The Western Digital WD Red Plus WD60EFPX is a 3.5-inch hard drive specifically engineered for network-attached storage (NAS) environments. With a capacity of 6 TB and a 256 MB cache, it utilizes Conventional Magnetic Recording (CMR) technology to ensure consistent performance and reliability during heavy write operations. The drive operates at 5400 RPM and reaches maximum transfer rates of 180 MB/s, making it a stable choice for users who need dependable data access across a home or small office network. Designed for longevity, this drive is optimized for RAID systems with up to 8 bays and incorporates NASware 3.0 technology to improve compatibility and error recovery. To maintain stability in multi-drive enclosures, it features rotation vibration sensors and dual-plane balance control, which mitigate the physical oscillations that can occur when several disks spin together. These technical refinements contribute to a mean time between failures of 1 million hours and a workload rating of 180 TB per year. Weighing 750 g and measuring 146.9 mm by 101.6 mm, the unit fits standard drive bays and operates within a temperature range of 0°C to 65°C. This makes it suitable for enthusiasts or professionals building a centralized media server or a secure backup system where continuous operation and data integrity are the primary concerns.
