Western Digital Red Pro 26 TB 3.5" SATA 7200 RPM Internal NAS Hard Drive

High-Endurance Scalable Storage
The WD Red Pro series is built for demanding NAS environments, making it an ideal choice for medium to large businesses, and commercial or enterprise-level storage systems. Designed for RAID-optimised networking setups, the Red Pro has a workload rating of 550TB per year and an MTBF of up to 2.5 million hours, reinforcing its status as a trusted industry leader with proven reliability during intense, continuous use. Perfect for both NAS and DAS systems, it features shock-sensor technology and advanced error recovery controls, ensuring steady performance across multi-bay configurations. Thanks to its low power consumption and ability to handle high I/O tasks, this drive delivers speed, durability, and long-term stability that you can rely on.

Unmatched Reliability
WD Red Pro drives are engineered to handle high-intensity workloads in 24×7 multi-user commercial and enterprise NAS environments. WD Red Pro drives deliver the performance, scalability and dependability businesses require to store, share and collaborate on large amounts of data in multi-bay RAID-optimised NAS systems.

Proven Reliability
WD Red Pro drives are built for the rigours of always-on NAS environments, where reliability is crucial. Unlike desktop drives, they are specifically designed to handle multi-user demands 24/7. WD Red Pro drives includes RAID error recovery control to reduce failures, making them smart and dependable.

Strong Under Stress
What sets WD Red Pro apart is its suite of NAS-specific features. NASware technology fine-tunes performance to suit NAS workloads, while Rotation Vibration (RV) minimises noise and vibrationcritical for smooth, uninhibited operation.

Smarter Storage for Larger Drives
OptiNAND is Western Digitals storage technology designed to enhance high-capacity HDDs, integrating embedded iNAND flash to improve efficiency and reliability. Instead of storing user data, it offloads metadata, reducing mechanical strain, accelerating write operations, and optimising data flow. In 24TB and 26TB WD Red Pro models, this means increased platter density, faster access times, and improved performance at extreme capacities.

BUILT TO LAST
The WD Red family of HDDs has been compatibility-tested by major NAS system providers with their NAS systems and components, such as host bus adapters, controller cards, and enclosures. Unlike desktop drives, WD Red Pro hard drives are specifically designed and tested for NAS and include NASware technology which fine tunes drive parameters to match NAS system workloads for optimum performance.
