Western Digital recently launched a 24TB WD Red Pro mechanical hard drive, introducing its largest capacity CMR hard drive into the NAS product line after releasing 24TB enterprise/data center level products at the end of last year.
Western Digital stated that as a product in the WD Red Pro series, this mechanical hard drive is suitable for 24/7 multi-user commercial/enterprise-level NAS systems, with a rated workload of 550TB/s, an MTBF of 2.5 million hours, and a 5-year warranty.
The mechanical hard drive is equipped with a vibration compensation system and RAID error recovery control function, which is claimed to reduce the occurrence of failures in multi-bay RAID systems.
According to the specifications shared by Western Digital, this mechanical hard drive with part number WD240FKGX is a 7200RPM model, includes 512MB of OptiNAND cache, and has a transfer rate of 287MB/s, which is an improvement over the previous 22TB model’s 265MB/s, making it the fastest in its series currently.
The editor noticed that another mechanical hard drive manufacturer, Seagate, also launched a 24TB “IronWolf Pro” series NAS mechanical hard drive earlier this year.
