WD Red Pro 3.5" SATA III Internal NAS Hard Drive 512MB Cache 20TB Single
Because enterprise environments demand robust and reliable storage solutions, the WD Red Pro 3.5" SATA III Internal NAS Hard Drive is engineered to meet these high standards. Specifically designed for commercial and enterprise NAS systems, this hard drive excels in handling high-intensity workloads in 24x7 multi-user settings. The WD Red Pro series is synonymous with performance, scalability, and dependability, making it an ideal choice for businesses that need to store, share, and collaborate on large volumes of data within multi-bay RAID-optimized NAS systems.Optimized for NAS environments, the WD Red Pro features Western Digital's exclusive NASware technology. This innovation fine-tunes drive parameters to align with NAS system workloads, enhancing both performance and reliability. The inclusion of Rotation Vibration (RV) sensors is a testament to its advanced engineering, as these sensors proactively counteract disturbances from excessive vibration, ensuring minimal turbulence and sustained performance.Designed for continuous operation, the WD Red Pro hard drives are built to withstand the rigorous demands of high-intensity, always-on NAS environments, thereby increasing system durability. The drives are equipped with a multi-axis shock sensor that detects subtle shock events and compensates with dynamic fly height technology, offering additional protection within NAS enclosures.Compatibility is a key feature of the WD Red Pro series. Western Digital collaborates with a wide range of NAS system vendors to conduct extensive testing, ensuring dependable compatibility with most NAS enclosures. This hard drive is engineered with industry-leading technology, including Western Digital's proprietary OptiNAND technology. This technology leverages integrated iNAND embedded flash to perform essential housekeeping functions, freeing up capacity and enhancing overall drive performance.When comparing desktop drives to the WD Red Pro, it's crucial to choose a drive purpose-built for RAID-optimized NAS systems to ensure optimal performance and data preservation. Unlike desktop drives, which are not typically designed for the demands of an always-on NAS environment, WD Red Pro hard drives are tailored to perform under the tough conditions of high-intensity, 24x7 multi-user NAS environments. They are RAID-ready, featuring RAID error recovery control to help reduce failures within multi-bay NAS systems. Additionally, while desktop drives often lack protection from noise and vibration, WD Red Pro drives include RV sensors to mitigate these issues, making them a superior choice for multi-bay NAS systems.
