WD Red Pro 3.5" 24TB, 7200 RPM, 512MB, 550 WRL, SATA III Hard Drive for NAS

This WD Red Pro hard drive provides 24 TB of storage capacity, engineered for use in multi-bay network-attached storage (NAS) systems. It is designed to handle the high-intensity workloads typical of enterprise and small-to-mid business environments. The drive incorporates NASware technology, which is intended to improve compatibility, system integration, and overall reliability within NAS enclosures. Its construction is suited for continuous 24/7 operation, a common requirement for server and shared storage solutions.

Performance is facilitated by a 7200 RPM spindle speed and a 512 MB cache, supporting sustained data transfer rates of up to 287 MB/s. The SATA 6 Gbit/s interface ensures broad compatibility with current NAS and server hardware. Integrated rotational vibration (RV) sensors detect and counteract disturbances, which helps maintain stable performance in multi-drive configurations. This model is rated for a workload of up to 550 TB per year and has a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of 2.5 million hours.
