It is rated for a 550TB\/year workload, about three times the Red Plus, and is designed for tower and rack-mount systems with any number of bays. NASware firmware, Time-Limited Error Recovery (TLER) and Rotational Vibration Safeguards keep a RAID array running smoothly under heavy multi-user load, while OptiNAND and ArmorCache add flash-assisted metadata handling and write-cache protection. At 16TB with a 512MB cache and 259MB\/s, it suits virtualisation, video editing shares and large backup targets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat to weigh up\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a 7200 RPM enterprise-class mechanism, so it is louder and warmer than a 5400 RPM drive. Plan for good NAS cooling and keep the unit out of living spaces. For a 2- to 4-bay home NAS with light use, WD Red Plus costs less per terabyte and is quieter. In return, Red Pro gives you a 2.5 million hour MTBF rating and a 5 year warranty instead of 3. Screws and cables are not included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e550TB\/year workload rate for 24x7 multi-user NAS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports RAID-optimised NAS with an unlimited number of bays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNASware firmware with Time-Limited Error Recovery (TLER)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRotational Vibration Safeguards for multi-drive enclosures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptiNAND and ArmorCache technologies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSPECIFICATIONS:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: WD Red Pro 16TB (WD161KFGX)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCapacity: 16TB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForm factor: 3.5\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterface: SATA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecording technology: CMR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpindle speed: 7200 RPM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCache: 512MB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTransfer rate: Up to 259MB\/s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorkload rate: 550TB\/year\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMTBF: Up to 2.5 million hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBays supported: Unlimited (RAID-optimised NAS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating temperature: 0°C to 65°C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNon-operating temperature: -40°C to 70°C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 147 x 101.6 x 26.1mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 690g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: 5 Year limited\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWHAT'S IN THE BOX:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x WD Red Pro 16TB 3.5\" hard drive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Western Digital?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWestern Digital's WD Red range is one of the most widely deployed NAS drive families, and Red Pro is its top tier for business arrays.
