WD Gold 16TB
The WD Gold 16TB hard drive stores large volumes of data in enterprise systems where reliability is paramount. Its 3.5" form factor and SATA III interface make it easy to integrate into most servers and data storage units. The 7200rpm speed and 512MB cache shorten access times and accelerate file transfers up to 262MB/s during demanding operations. This internal HDD is designed for continuous operation and can handle an annual workload of 550TB, a value required for use in data centres. Additionally, conventional magnetic recording (CMR) technology maintains consistent performance during repeated data rewriting, supporting stability in RAID systems.
