4 TB SATA 6.0 Gb/s desktop drive
The WD Red Pro WD4003FFBX is a 4 TB 3.5-inch internal hard drive built for desktop and NAS use. It runs at 7200 RPM with a 256 MB cache and connects through a SATA 6.0 Gb/s interface. The CMR recording technology and bare-drive packaging suit system builders and integrators.
Suited for multi-bay NAS up to 24 bays
This drive is designed for enterprise NAS environments supporting 1 to 24 drive bays and a 300 TB yearly workload rate. NASware 3.0 firmware and 3D Active Balance Plus improve reliability in vibration-heavy chassis. Not suited for portable use, laptop upgrades, or systems that cannot accommodate a 3.5-inch SATA device.
217 MB/s sustained transfer rate
The supplier rates maximum sustained throughput at 217 MB/s, a figure that helps confirm the drive can keep up with RAID rebuilds and streaming workloads. Combined with the 7200 RPM spindle speed and 256 MB cache, this throughput level is the key indicator for RAID and NAS performance planning.

Questions about this item
Do I need a SATA 6.0Gb/s port and 3.5-inch drive bay to install this WD4003FFBX?
Yes — the drive connects via a SATA 6.0Gb/s interface and fits a standard 3.5-inch bay with maximum dimensions of 147.00mm length, 101.60mm width and 26.10mm height.
Will this 7200 RPM CMR drive work in a NAS alongside slower drives using NASware 3.0?
It is built for 1-24 bay NAS systems with NASware 3.0 technology and 3D Active Balance Plus, so it can operate in mixed-drive environments while maintaining its 300TB/year workload rating.
How do I verify the 217 MB/s transfer rate and 256MB cache are active after setup?
Check the drive’s reported cache size and run a sequential read/write benchmark; sustained speeds near 217 MB/s confirm the SATA 6.0Gb/s link and 7200 RPM CMR performance are functioning.
