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

The WD Red Pro WD241KFGX is a 3.5-inch internal hard drive designed for high-capacity storage in medium to large-scale network-attached storage (NAS) systems. It is engineered for continuous 24/7 operation, making it suitable for demanding, always-on environments. The drive integrates NASware technology, which is intended to improve performance and reliability within RAID configurations by optimizing compatibility with a wide range of NAS enclosures.

To maintain performance in multi-bay systems, this drive includes integrated Rotational Vibration (RV) sensors that detect and counteract vibrations from adjacent drives. A 7200 RPM spindle speed and a 512 MB cache contribute to sustained data transfer rates, supporting efficient file access and backup operations. The drive is rated for a workload of up to 550 TB per year and features S.M.A.R.T. technology for monitoring drive health and predicting potential failures.
