WD Gold Enterprise Class WD181KRYZ 18 TB

18TB ultra high capacity internal hard drive from 2020 WD Gold 3.5″ HDD lineup. This family includes models of various sizes (from 1 GB to 18 TB), the design and firmware of which is optimized for operation in complex and demanding enterprise-level data storage systems. With exceptional reliability and long-term high load capacity, they are one of the best choices for large data centers.

Can be used as an additional high-capacity drive in a workstation or top-end NAS system. The WD Gold WD181KRYZ hard drive is equipped with a large 512 MB DRAM buffer, and the internal space of its HDA is filled with helium using HelioSeal technology. The low density of this gas (seven times lighter than air) reduces plate friction losses and reduces the impact of gas flows on the positioning accuracy of the heads.

Energy Assisted Magnetic Recording (EAMR) technology provides improved accuracy and further increases recording density. Thanks to it, as well as the high speed of the engine, the maximum read / write speed reaches an impressive 267 MB / s. For array applications, efficient systems are available to help correct linear and angular vibration in real time. The manufacturer guarantees trouble-free operation 24/7 for at least 5 years.
