WD Red 12TB WD120EFAX Hard Drive – What is NASWare 3.0?

The WD Red WD120EFAX 12TB drive is not just a gimmick, it is about the right tool for the right job. Not just any drive will do. In single-bay to 8-bay NAS systems, WD Red drives raise the bar. Get as much as 96TB capacity, and with WD’s exclusive NASware technology, you can optimize every single one of them. Built into every WD Red hard drive, NASware 3.0’s advanced technology improves your system’s storage performance by increasing compatibility, integration, upgradeability, and reliability. Desktop drives aren’t purpose-built for NAS. But WD Red drives with NASware technology are. Our exclusive technology takes the guesswork out of selecting a drive. WD Red drives are for small NAS systems, and our unique algorithm balances performance and reliability in NAS and RAID environments. Simply put, a WD Red drive is one of the most compatible drives available for NAS enclosures. But don’t take our word for it. WD Red drives are a reflection of extensive NAS partner technology engagement and compatibility-testing resulting in a leading compatibility list for NAS systems.

WD Red 12TB WD120EFAX Hard Drive – Compared with WD Red 10TB and 8TB?

Although WD has already produced 12TB and 14TB Enterprise hard drives under their WD HGST UltraStar series of drives for SAS and SATA Data Centers, till recently we have not seen any WD Red Hard drives above 10TB and therefore now the WD120EFAX has been released, we should compare it with the older but more affordable 10TB and 8TB WD Red Drives to see if this is more than just a change in capacity. With an £80-90 price difference between the 10TB WD100EFAX and 12TB WD120EFAX, it is definitely something a number of users will want to look at closely. Below are the hardware specifications of each drive compared, covering capacity, RPM, Cache, spin speed, read speeds, power use and more.

WD Red 12TB WD120EFAX Hard Drive – Where to Buy and Price?

The WD Red WD120EFAX 12TB NAS hard disk for NAS drives is available NOW and for around £350, €390, $445 (not including your local tax of course) and though stock is a little limited, you can click the link below to find out the best place to buy the new NAS hard drive in your region. It is worth highlighting of course that now this drive is released, it may well affect the prices of smaller WD Red drives in a good way, so don’t be afraid to look at the prices of those smaller capacities  whilst you are there – the right RAID level in your NAS can really make all the difference between Price VS Capacity.
