WD Red Pro 20TB NAS drive

This 20TB 3.5 inch hard drive uses CMR recording at 7200 RPM with a 512MB cache and a SATA 6.0Gb/s interface. It is built for enterprise NAS enclosures that hold up to 24 bays and carries a workload rating of 300TB per year.

Installation in multi-bay NAS

The drive fits standard 3.5 inch bays measuring 26.10mm high, 101.60mm wide and 147.00mm long and connects through a regular SATA data and power cable. No special drivers are required, but the host system must support volumes larger than 20TB and the NAS firmware should be current to avoid timeout errors during the first RAID initialisation.

Sustained workload behaviour

3D Active Balance Plus and NASware 3.0 technology keep vibration and error recovery stable during continuous multi-stream writes. The 300TB yearly workload rating reflects steady 24/7 operation rather than short benchmark bursts, and extended factory testing targets consistent performance across the full capacity.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the WD202KFGX is running at 7200 RPM with CMR after installation?

Check the drive model in your NAS operating system or BIOS; it should report WD202KFGX with 20TB capacity, SATA 6.0Gb/s link speed, and 512MB cache.

What ships with the WD202KFGX and what must I source separately?

The drive arrives as a bare 3.5" unit; you must supply SATA data and power cables, mounting screws, and a compatible NAS bay or controller.

Which Red Pro capacity should I choose for a 24-bay NAS with a 300TB/year workload?

Capacities range from 2 to 26TB; the 20TB model fits the 24-bay limit and supports the 300TB/year workload rating with NASware 3.0 technology.
