WD Red Plus 8 TB NAS drive
The Western Digital WD80EFAX is an 8 TB 3.5 inch internal hard drive built for network-attached storage. It uses a SATA 6.0 Gb/s interface, spins at a 5400 RPM performance class and includes 256 MB of cache. The drive employs conventional magnetic recording and NASware firmware for compatibility in multi-bay enclosures.
Suited for small business NAS up to eight bays
This drive fits small or medium business NAS systems that run continuously and need up to 180 TB per year workload capacity. It is not intended for desktop boot drives or high-performance workstations that demand faster rotational speeds or lower latency. Builders needing a different interface must choose another drive type.
180 TB per year workload rating
The single specification that decides suitability is the 180 TB per year workload rate. If your NAS workload stays within this annual limit across up to eight bays, the drive matches the requirement; if the expected write volume exceeds it, a higher-rated drive is needed.
