So quiet! CMR, fast, low power. - I hate to review components like these until I've had them a long time, but now is probably the time for harddrive buying in general. First of all, to those who are wondering, no the 5640 RPM is not a typo. The official specs sheet says that's what it runs at. I think this helps it find a better balance between 5400 RPM power efficiency and 7200 RPM responsiveness. It claims to run cool and it does seem to do so. One lucky surprise is that it's quiet. A lot of larger harddrives intended for NAS or other RAID systems don't really try to be that quiet. According to the spec sheet it's officially 24dBA idle, 28dBA access. That's insane. I can't measure it with digital precision, but I can say it's one of the least annoying sounding drives I have used in a long time. Even many 5400 RPM 2.5" harddrives bother my ears these days (SSDs have spoiled me!) It doesn't seem to have quite the same "whoosh" sound of the actual platters spinning that normally bothers me if a drive is at all close enough to hear. (How did I survive harddrives in the 90s??? I don't know!) This thing is almost whisper quiet and putting my ear right up to it can still make it hard to hear. I think maybe the 5640 RPM contributes to this β€” likely it strikes a better balance in regards to sonic properties. My best guess is vibrations don't interfere with each other as much or something to that effect. And even the "grinding" when it's accessing data is quieter than most. I went ahead and wrote this review now in part because I just really want to emphasize how much quieter this drive is compared to most. As another piece of good news, this entire series is made with CMR β€” that is classic magnetic recording β€” rather than SMR (shingled magnetic recording.) A lot of larger drives in this sort of range use SMR because it's cheaper, but it also is significantly slower on any writes bigger than the cache size β€” which is probably going to be any decent sized transfers at all. I also see a lot of claims that SMR drives last significantly less actual usage hours (which might make sense since they must rewrite every single block that changes for even a small write.) Right now I have more confidence in a CMR drive to hold up past the 1.5 year mark that seems to come up a lot in reviews and complaints for SMR drives. Speeds did dip down to something like 160MB/s for the final average (instead of the 215MB/s in the specs) for a huge transfer operation, but all in all this drive strikes a lot of great balances. Only time will tell on reliability, but this is a good line. Review: Lots of storage! - Solid, reliable hard drives for a NAS or PC, easy installation just plug it in, format and use! ## Features - Available in capacities ranging from 1-14TB with support for up to 8 bays | As used for storage capacity, 1GB = 1 billion bytes and 1TB = 1 trillion bytes. Actual user capacity may be less depending on operating environment.Specific uses: Business - Supports up to 180 TB/yr workload rate | Workload Rate is defined as the amount of user data transferred to or from the hard drive. Workload Rate is annualized (TB transferred βœ• (8760 / recorded power-on hours)). Workload Rate will vary depending on your hardware and software components and configurations. - NASware firmware for compatibility - Small or medium business NAS systems in a 24x7 environment - 3-year limited warranty | See official Western Digital website for regional specific warranty details. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0CMQ6SK7W | | Additional Features | RAID-optimized NAS systems | | Best Sellers Rank | #3 in Internal Hard Drives | | Brand | WD | | Built-In Media | Internal Hard Drive | | Cache Memory Installed Size | 8 | | Color | Red | | Compatible Devices | Desktop | | Connectivity Technology | SATA | | Customer Package Type | Standard Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 3,463 Reviews | | Data Transfer Rate | 215 Megabytes Per Second | | Digital Storage Capacity | 8000 GB | | Enclosure Material | Aluminum | | Form Factor | 3.5-inch | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00718037899817 | | Hard Disk Description | Mechanical Hard Disk | | Hard Disk Form Factor | 3.5 Inches | | Hard Disk Interface | Serial ATA-600 | | Hard Disk Rotational Speed | 5640 RPM | | Hard-Drive Size | 8 TB | | Hardware Connectivity | SATA 6.0 Gb/s | | Installation Type | Internal Hard Drive | | Item Weight | 1.58 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Western Digital Technologies, Inc. | | Mfr Part Number | 718037899817 | | Model Name | WD Red Plus HDD | | Model Number | WD80EFPX | | Number of Items | 1 | | Read Speed | 445 Bytes Per Second | | Special Feature | RAID-optimized NAS systems | | Specific Uses For Product | Business, NAS | | UPC | 718037899817 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 3 year limited warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** WD - **Color:** Red - **Compatible Devices:** Desktop - **Connectivity Technology:** SATA - **Digital Storage Capacity:** 8000 GB - **Hard Disk Description:** Mechanical Hard Disk - **Hard Disk Form Factor:** 3.5 Inches - **Hard Disk Interface:** Serial ATA-600 - **Installation Type:** Internal Hard Drive - **Special Feature:** RAID-optimized NAS systems ## Images ![Western Digital 8TB WD Red Plus NAS Internal Hard Drive HDD - 5640 RPM, SATA 6 Gb/s, CMR, 256 MB Cache, 3.5" - WD80EFPX - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81S-Gug4DmL.jpg) ![Western Digital 8TB WD Red Plus NAS Internal Hard Drive HDD - 5640 RPM, SATA 6 Gb/s, CMR, 256 MB Cache, 3.5" - WD80EFPX - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81NDwnA-EoL.jpg) ![Western Digital 8TB WD Red Plus NAS Internal Hard Drive HDD - 5640 RPM, SATA 6 Gb/s, CMR, 256 MB Cache, 3.5" - WD80EFPX - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71R1j+fDkgL.jpg) ![Western Digital 8TB WD Red Plus NAS Internal Hard Drive HDD - 5640 RPM, SATA 6 Gb/s, CMR, 256 MB Cache, 3.5" - WD80EFPX - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/813O9B7PBUL.jpg) ![Western Digital 8TB WD Red Plus NAS Internal Hard Drive HDD - 5640 RPM, SATA 6 Gb/s, CMR, 256 MB Cache, 3.5" - WD80EFPX - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91LOX0pJJhL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So far so good.

One worked great and the other was DOA. I've bought 3 Blacks, 1 Purple in the past and now these 2 Reds and of the 6 total only 1 was DOA. Amazon's return is the best and having a Whole Foods near by makes it is easy to send things back. I wanted a DAS to save important files and needed two drives to mirror everything. I always go with Western Digital when it comes to mechanical drives and they work great if not DOA. They sit silent in my DAS until I accesses a file on them and I can hear them spin up. I have used this brand for many years and I am confident they will last a long time. ## Frequently Bought Together - Western Digital 8TB WD Red Plus NAS Internal Hard Drive HDD - 5640 RPM, SATA 6 Gb/s, CMR, 256 MB Cache, 3.5" - WD80EFPX - Synology 2-Bay DiskStation DS224+ (Diskless) - Seagate IronWolf 8TB NAS Internal Hard Drive HDD – 3.5 Inch SATA 6Gb/s 7200 RPM 256MB Cache for RAID Network Attached Storage – Frustration Free Packaging (ST8000VNZ04/N004) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/597828366-western-digital-8tb-wd-red-plus-nas-internal-hard-drive](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/597828366-western-digital-8tb-wd-red-plus-nas-internal-hard-drive) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-05-24*
