Western Digital Red Pro 18TB HDD Hard Drive 3.5" SATA III 7200rpm with 512MB Cache for NAS / Server WD181KFGX

Key features:

  • Recording Technology: CMR
  • Cache Size: 512 MB
  • Size: 3.5 inches
  • Rotation Speed: 7200rpm
See full description

  • Usage

    NAS

    Disks for use in NAS (Network-Attached Storage) systems that provide access to data from all devices on a network. They are designed for continuous operation with other such disks in RAID configurations to protect data from failures.

  • Communication Protocol

    Hard drives communicate with the computer through a protocol.

    There are two protocols for HDD hard drives, SATA (for simple use) and SAS (high reliability for corporate use).

    SATA III

    A modern hard disk connection standard that offers twice the maximum speed compared to SATA II.

    The majority of hard disks use this standard.

    The motherboard must support it for the disk to operate at its maximum potential.

  • Cache Size

    Intermediate temporary memory between the disk and the computer, allowing the hard disk to provide faster and more immediate access to data. It does not have any particular benefit for the average user.

  • Form Factor

    The size of the HDD hard drive.

    3.5

    The classic size of a desktop computer hard disk drive (HDD).

  • Rotation Speed

    The most important feature along with capacity is that the faster the rotation speed of a hard disk, the faster the access and storage of data it can provide.

    7200

    The most popular HDD hard drives, about 33% faster than 5400. Suitable for all uses such as installing programs and games. For installing the operating system, programs, and games, SSD are even faster and remain the best choice.

Description

Description

Specifically designed for those who own medium or large businesses, WD Red Pro hard drives are available for NAS systems with up to 24 bays.

Designed to handle high workload demands in 24/7 work environments, the WD Red Pro is ideal for archiving and sharing, as well as for RAID array rebuilding in advanced operating systems such as ZFS or other file systems.

These drives add value to your business by enabling your staff to quickly share their files and reliably back up folders with your existing NAS solution.

For small or medium businesses

Stream, back up, share, and organize your digital content with NAS drives featuring WD Red Plus, designed to easily share content with devices in your home or business. NASware 3.0 technology increases the compatibility of your drives with your existing network and devices.

Desktop Hard Drives vs WD Red Pro Units

Do the best for your NAS system and choose a hard drive specially designed for NAS systems with a range of features that allow the safeguarding of your data and maintaining optimal performance. Consider the following when choosing a hard drive for a NAS system:

Compatibility: Unlike desktop drives, these drives have been specifically tested for compatibility with NAS systems for optimal performance.

Reliability: NAS or RAID environments that are in continuous operation generate high heat, and desktop drives are typically not designed and tested under these conditions, as is the case with WD Red Pro drives.

Error Recovery Settings: WD Red Pro hard drives for NAS are specifically designed with error recovery settings for RAID, so as to reduce errors in the NAS system.

Noise and Vibration Protection: Designed to operate independently, desktop hard drives typically offer little or no protection from the noise and vibrations prevalent in a multi-drive system. WD Red Pro drives are designed for high performance in multi-bay NAS system environments.

Exclusive NASware 3.0 Technology

The exclusive advanced technology of Western Digital's NASware 3.0 software allows seamless integration, strong data protection, and optimal performance in highly demanding NAS environments.

Integrated into every WD Red Pro hard drive, the advanced NASware 3.0 technology enhances system performance in storage by increasing compatibility, integration, upgradeability, and reliability.

Greater protection against shocks

WD Red Pro drives feature a multi-axis shock sensor that automatically detects any subtle shock events and dynamic head height control technology that adjusts the corresponding functions to compensate and protect data.

This combination of technologies further protects the drives in larger 24-bay NAS environments and increases the reliability of hard drives.

3D Active Balance Plus

Western Digital's enhanced dual-plane balance technology significantly improves the overall performance and reliability of the drive. If hard drives are not properly balanced, excessive vibrations and noise may occur in systems with multiple drives, reducing the lifespan of the hard drives and degrading their performance over time.

Prevention for Error Recovery

Specifically designed for RAID and NAS environments, WD Red Pro drives feature error recovery settings, which are integrated into NASware 3.0 technology, thereby reducing disk errors in RAID applications.

Extensive disk testing

A NAS environment with up to 24 bays is very demanding for a hard drive, as there are additional vibrations and heat. That is why every WD Red Pro drive is shipped after undergoing extensive write testing through thermal cycles, to ensure that each drive is tested for extended and reliable operation.
