Preconditioning and Primary Steady State Tests: Each of the comparable drives are secure erased using the vendor's tools, preconditioned into steady state with the same workload the device will be tested with under a heavy load of 16 threads with an outstanding queue of 16 per thread, and then tested in set intervals in multiple thread/queue depth profiles to show performance under light and heavy usage. Our synthetic enterprise storage benchmark process begins with an analysis of the way the drive performs during a thorough preconditioning phase. Under the hood lays a Marvell 88i9346 controller, which is also found on countless other WD 2.5" and 3.5" hard drives.

The Red Pro is also based off of WD's Se drive, bringing NAS specific features to a well-known HDD platform. At its core, NASware 3.0 is designed to improve reliability and system performance, reduce customer downtime, and to simplify the integration process. Additionally, optimized power usage of WD Red Pro drives allow for significant power savings and lower hard drive operating temperatures within small NAS environments. The WD Red Pro line of HDDs are designed specifically to address these issues and are built with NASware 3.0, in addition to additional enterprise-grade NAS features.
Desktop drives have a greater of risk for possible data loss and even failure in an always-on, RAID configured NAS system. Though desktop hard drives are an affordable alternative to enterprise drives, they are designed for performance and reliability in a desktop personal computer and not inside a device like a NAS. Aside from support for larger environments, the Red Pro line of HDDs differentiates from Red in that the drives are faster, 7K spindle speed, extended thermal burn-in testing, hardware-based vibration compensation and a longer warranty. The Red Pro HDDs spin at 7,200RPM, come in capacities of up to 4TB, and are designed for larger tower or rackmount NAS environments in the 8 to 16 bay range.
