WD Gold HDDs incorporate the latest innovations to handle heavy, continuous read-write workloads in tough enterprise and commercial system environments. WD Gold drives provide the utmost in HDD storage performance, reliability, durability, and capacity-point flexibility to small and medium businesses and design professionals whose mission-critical data and creative output are essential to their success.
Built for demanding use cases, customize your business’s storage mix to fit your specific needs with hard drives in capacities of up to 26TB, engineered for demanding applications with a read-write workload rating of up to 550TB per year.
Enhanced reliability is ensured with a five-year limited warranty supporting up to 2.5 million hours MTBF. WD Gold hard drives deliver enhanced levels of dependability and durability.
Protection and performance boost come from ArmorCache technology (available in 22TB and above), a Western Digital-only feature that provides enterprise power loss protection of your data in write-cache enabled mode while increasing performance in write-cache disabled mode.
Continuous innovation is evident in the WD Gold 26TB model, built on the world’s first 11-disk HDD platform and delivering the 10th generation of HelioSeal technology, which has proven to be a vital foundation for continuous capacity growth for over a decade.
Robustness for tough environments is provided by our exclusive Rotational Vibration Safeguard (RVS), which uses dual sensors to anticipate and counteract disturbances, maintaining peak performance in high-vibration environments.
Flexibility and peace of mind are guaranteed as WD Gold has undergone extensive testing and validation in a variety of host bus adapters, servers, and enterprise storage solutions employing RAID and other data resiliency configurations.
