"Can I use a NAS hard drive as a regular drive? Many people may ask this question. The answer is YES. You can use it as a regular desktop drive, as long as the interface is in accordance. But there is a problem you should pay attention to: NAS HDDs have TLER technology.
TLER technology allows the drive to mark sectors as bad sectors when it can't access the sectors after continuous attempt for 3-5 seconds. This reduced the failure rate of raid array and improved reliability and stability.
However, if you use NAS hard drive as a regular drive, some sectors may be marked as bad sectors incorrectly. Because common desktop drives without TLER technology usually mark sectors as bad sectors when they can't access the sectors after continuous attempt for 30 seconds to 1 minute."​
Yeah, difference is it's not the Red Plus, which is CMR vs SMR on the Amazon drive.

Are there two versions of this red plus with different cache sizes?
They've kept this name on the market for a while, presumably there are many versions.

WD40EFRX => Orig Red => smaller cache CMR => rebranded Red Plus (rare nowadays)
WD40EZRX => Red Plus w/larger cache

+rep for making the effort to specify CMR vs. SMR.

How would this work on a security camera NVR? I usually use the purple ones.

I swapped out 4 original red cmrs for 6tb pros and they were significantly louder if that matters to anyone. Drives themselves have been great but I can't say I'd go with them again based on the noise.

Got mine today. I checked the warranty and noticed it had less than a year. However, after registering them (https://support-en.wd.com/app/acc...gistration) they updated to 3 years from my purchase date.
