WD Gold 3.5" 26TB, 7200 RPM, 512MB, SATA III Hard Drive, Enterprise

This internal hard disk drive is engineered for high-demand enterprise environments, including servers and professional workstations. It utilizes the standard 3.5-inch form factor and connects via a SATA interface, supporting a 6 Gbit/s transfer rate. The drive features a substantial 26 TB capacity, making it suitable for large-scale data retention and continuous archival needs. Operating at 7200 RPM, it provides consistent rotational performance necessary for sustained data processing.

This model is rated for a high workload limit of 550 TB per year, meeting the requirements of intense, continuous operation. Reliability testing indicates a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of 2.5 million hours, targeting reduced downtime in critical applications. Data access speeds are rated at 285 MB/s for both sequential read and write operations. The inclusion of Rotational Vibration (RV) sensors assists in maintaining steady performance in multi-bay server chassis.
