14TB WD142KFGX WD Red Pro NAS 7200RPM 512MB

WD Red® Pro NAS hard drive

WD Red® Pro hard drives are designed for the high-intensity workloads of commercial and enterprise NAS environments with many users, 24/7. WD Red Pro hard drives deliver the performance, scalability and reliability needed for businesses to store, share and collaborate on large amounts of data in RAID-optimized, multi-bay NAS systems.

Optimized for NAS with NASware™
Exclusive Western Digital NASware™ technology optimizes hard drive parameters for NAS system workloads to improve performance and reliability.

Designed for continuous operation
WD Red Pro hard drives are designed to meet the demanding requirements of high-intensity, continuous operation, multi-user NAS environments and protect the system.

Tested for reliable compatibility
Western Digital works with many different NAS system manufacturers to conduct extensive testing and ensure compatibility with most NAS enclosures.

Protected from excessive vibrations
WD Red Pro hard drives feature torsional vibration sensors that anticipate and proactively compensate for disturbances caused by increased vibration. Vibrations are distributed throughout the hard drive enclosure to minimize turbulence, maintain performance, and protect the hard drives.

Protected from impacts
WD Red Pro hard drives feature a multi-axis shock sensor that detects minor impacts and automatically compensates for them with dynamic height adjustment of the read/write head to provide additional protection for the hard drives in the NAS enclosure.

Developed with industry-leading technologies
WD Red Pro 22TB hard drives feature proprietary Western Digital OptiNAND™ technology, which uses integrated iNAND embedded flash to perform key management functions, making more capacity available and improving overall drive performance.

First-class support and warranty
Western Digital is a leading hard drive manufacturer and stands behind the quality of its NAS storage solutions with a 5-year warranty and first-class support for reliable data storage.

Desktop drives compared to WD Red® Pro
It is important to select a hard drive that is specifically designed for RAID-optimized NAS systems to ensure optimal performance and protection of your valuable data. Consider the following when selecting a hard drive for your NAS system:

- Compatibility: Unlike desktop drives, WD Red Pro hard drives are designed and tested specifically for NAS and feature NASware™ technology, which tunes hard drive parameters to NAS system workloads for optimal performance.
- Reliability: Desktop hard drives are simply not designed to meet the demands of a 24/7 NAS environment. WD Red Pro hard drives are designed to withstand the demanding conditions of high-density, 24/7 NAS environments with many users.
- RAID Ready: WD Red hard drives feature RAID error recovery protocols to reduce failures in multi-bay NAS systems, while most desktop drives are configured only for generic applications.
- Noise and vibration protection: Desktop drives are designed to operate individually and typically offer little or no protection against the noise and vibration inherent in multi-drive systems. WD Red drives feature torsional vibration sensors that anticipate and proactively compensate for disturbances caused by increased vibration, often found in multi-bay NAS systems.
