At 16TB with 7200 RPM spindle speed, it delivers the throughput and capacity needed for high-intensity workloads — file archiving, large-scale sharing, RAID array rebuilding, and continuous 24/7 operation. NASware 3.0 firmware optimizes every aspect of NAS integration: compatibility, RAID error recovery, vibration tolerance, and performance tuning for multi-bay enclosures.CMR recording technology ensures stable, predictable write performance in RAID configurations and extended file systems such as ZFS — unlike SMR drives which can stall during RAID rebuilds. The multi-axis shock sensor and Dynamic Fly Height technology work together to protect data integrity in large 24-bay chassis where mechanical vibration from adjacent drives is a constant factor. Every drive ships with extended thermal cycle burn-in testing for verified reliability before deployment.Ideal For Medium to Large Business NAS — Up to 24-bay NAS systems for enterprise-scale file storage and sharing RAID & ZFS Arrays — CMR for reliable RAID 0/1/5/6/10 and ZFS array performance and rebuild times High-Capacity Archive Storage — 16TB per drive for cost-effective large-scale data archiving and retention 24/7 Business-Critical NAS — 550TB/year workload rating and 5-year warranty for always-on environments Multi-Bay Vibration Environments — Shock sensor and 3D Active Balance Plus for 8–24 bay enclosures Specifications Model — WD Red Pro MPN — WD161KFGX SKU — CCWD161KFGX Capacity — 16TB Form Factor — 3.5" Interface — SATA III 6Gb/s Spindle Speed — 7200 RPM Cache — 512MB Recording Technology — CMR Max NAS Bays — Up to 24 Workload Rating — 550TB/year 24/7 Rated — Yes Warranty — 5-year limited
