WD Red Plus 10TB NAS Hard Drive

This 3.5-inch internal hard drive offers 10TB of storage on a SATA 6.0Gb/s interface. It uses conventional magnetic recording with a 256MB cache and operates at a 5400 RPM performance class. The drive is built for continuous operation in small to medium business NAS enclosures.

Buyers needing faster random-access speeds for operating systems or scratch disks should consider solid-state alternatives instead.
