WD Red Pro HDD Spec and Price in Germany

SATA8TB7200 RPM

Red Pro is WD's workstation-grade NAS drive: 7200rpm across every capacity, a 256MB cache up to 12TB and 512MB from 14TB, and a rated workload of 550TB/year — WD's figure for always-on, multi-bay NAS arrays — with a five-year warranty, per the data sheet. Where Red Plus is the safe default for home NAS, Red Pro is the pick for larger arrays, heavy random access, or any build where the drive is expected to outlive the chassis. The price sits above the Plus line at every capacity.
