WD Gold HDDs incorporate our latest innovations to handle heavy, continuous read-write workloads in the toughest of 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.

• A wide range of capacities up to 24TB (1) to meet your enterprise-class storage needs. | (1) 1TB = 1 trillion bytes. Actual user capacity may be less depending on operating environment.
• Among the highest workload rating of any Western Digital hard drive.
• Flexible enough to populate nearly any storage server in local, distributed, or colocated configurations.
• No compromise storage for any application demanding the best in HDD storage.

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,1 engineered for demanding applications with a read-write workload rating of up to 550TB2 per year.

Enhanced Reliability
With a five-year limited warranty3 supporting up to 2.5M hours MTBF,4 WD Gold hard drives deliver enhanced levels of dependability and durability.

Protection and Performance Boost
ArmorCache™ technology (available in 22TB and above) is a Western Digital-only feature that provides enterprise power loss protection of your data in write-cache enabled (WCE) mode while increasing performance in write-cache disabled (WCD) mode.

Continuous Innovation
The WD Gold 26TB1 model is built on the world's first 11-disk HDD platform and delivers 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
Our exclusive Rotational Vibration Safeguard (RVS) uses dual sensors to anticipate and counteract disturbances, maintaining peak performance in high-vibration environments.

Flexibility and Peace of Mind
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.

(1) 1TB = 1 trillion bytes. Actual user capacity may be less depending on operating environment.

(2) MTBF: Projected values for model number WD221KRYZ, WD202KRYZ, WD241KRYZ, and WD261KRYZ. Final MTBF and AFR specifications will be based on a sample population and are estimated by statistical measurements and acceleration algorithms under typical operating conditions, typical workload and 40°C device-reported temperature. Derating of MTBF and AFR will occur above these parameters, up to 550TB/year and 60°C (device reported temperature).

(3) Workload Rate is defined as the amount of user data transferred to or from the hard drive. Workload Rate is annualized (TB transferred X (8760 / recorded power-on hours)). Workload Rate will vary depending on your hardware and software components and configurations.
