HDD Notice – May, 2021 applies to all HDD and SSD’s.
Global Drive Shortages – We are constantly receiving drives and allocation is strictly
based on orders received and captured payments only. Our priority will be NAS integration orders. Drive only orders will not be accepted if we have no allocation. We will not accept and calls or emails for any drive only queries, as we are prioritized for NAS based orders only. Thank you for your understanding.
18TB - WD Gold Enterprise Class Hard Disk Drive - 7200 RPM Class SATA 6Gb/s 512MB Cache 3.5 Inch. (WD181KRYZ)
Conquer tough workloads with enterprise-class WD Gold™ HDDs. Available in 1TB to 18TB capacities, this highly reliable solution for demanding storage environments provides up to 2.5M hours MTBF, vibration protection technology and a low power draw thanks to HelioSeal™ technology [for 12TB and above]. Specifically designed for use in enterprise-class data centers and storage systems, the WD Gold SATA HDD delivers the world-class performance you expect from Western Digital hard drives
Beyond Expectations
WD Gold™ hard drives are performance-optimized for heavy application workloads, whether you need 1TB or 18TB1. The WD Gold HDD’s wide capacity range solves for the most demanding storage environments.
Enhanced Reliability
With up to 2.5M hours MTBF, WD Gold™ hard drives deliver enhanced levels of dependability and durability.
A World-Class Performer
Delivering excellent service to any storage environment, WD Gold™ hard drives are designed to handle workloads up to 550TB2 per year – among the highest of any 3.5-inch hard drive.
Vibration Protection
WD Gold™ has sophisticated monitoring electronics that help correct linear and rotational vibrations in real time using enhanced vibration protection technology for improved performance in high-vibration environments.
Play Well with Others

Application for QM2 SSD slots:
Configured system orders start here!
The selected drives are batch controlled and tested using our HDD and SSD servers. Passed drives are then installed in the NAS with Volume and RAID set. Our pre-burn testing prepares the NAS with an initial system and drive testing cycle to ensure that the integrity of the entire system is tested and passed with no issues at all.
Our stress testing (burn-test) cycle commences for a minimum of 24 hours and extends to 48 hours if requested or required. This is undertaken in order to ensure stability when used in a normal environment. These tests can include extremes of workload (constant I/O's), CPU and memory use, thermal load (heat), clock speed, or voltages, bus and connectivity components, with the primary stress testing software aiming to test stability by trying to force a system to fail. Our tests put a greater emphasis on robustness, availability and error handling heavy loads.
Once the tests are complete we QA and pack the system back into it's retail box. Then it's double boxed to protect the unit during shipping. You receive your QNAP NAS Ready To Plug 'N' Store. It doesn't get any easier. Buy your NAS from the QNAP EXPERTS at QNAP DIRECT.
