WD Red Pro hard drive 18 TB 3.5" SATA III 7200 rpm 512 MB

High-performance internal HDD for NAS, designed for 24/7 continuous operation in medium and large business NAS under high-intensity workloads. WD Red Pro offers RAID optimization, higher reliability in multi-disk enclosures, and NASware 3.0 firmware for better compatibility and data protection.

WD Red Pro is intended for demanding NAS environments in companies where stability, fast access to files, and reliable backup are key. The drives are designed for NAS systems running continuously and for multi-drive arrays, where vibration, higher temperatures, and sustained load are addressed.

NASware 3.0 firmware helps ensure seamless integration into a NAS, optimizes performance, and supports reliable RAID operation. For additional protection in multi-drive enclosures, a multi-axis shock sensor and dynamic head-position control technology are available to help protect data during vibrations. 3D Active Balance Plus contributes to lower vibration and noise, and thus longer lifespan in multi-drive setups.
