Enterprise-class capacity

The WD Gold WD241KRYZ is a 24TB 3.5" internal hard drive built for enterprise storage systems and data centres. It spins at 7200 RPM and connects via a SATA 6.0Gb/s interface with a 512MB cache. HelioSeal technology enables the high capacity while keeping power draw low. The drive carries a 2.5M hour MTBF rating and a 5-year limited warranty.

Suited for bulk storage, not speed-critical tiers

This drive suits administrators who need maximum capacity per bay for archives, backups or cold data in vibration-prone multi-bay chassis. Builders wanting low-latency access for operating systems, databases or real-time workloads should look at solid-state alternatives. The SATA interface also limits throughput for arrays that can saturate faster interconnects.

SATA 6.0Gb/s interface

The single specification that decides compatibility is the SATA 6.0Gb/s interface. Your host controller, backplane or enclosure must provide a standard SATA data and power connection. No other interface or protocol is supported by this model.

Questions about this item

How much usable space does the 24TB capacity provide once the drive is formatted in a real system?

The drive offers 24TB of raw capacity; formatted capacity will be slightly lower due to file-system overhead and the difference between decimal and binary gigabytes.

What does the SATA 6.0Gb/s interface mean for actual transfer speeds?

The SATA 6.0Gb/s interface sets the maximum bus bandwidth; real-world sequential throughput will be lower and depends on the controller and workload.

Will the 3.5-inch form factor with 1.03in height fit in a standard desktop drive bay?

Yes, the drive measures 4.01in wide, 5.79in long and 1.03in high, matching the standard 3.5-inch desktop drive bay dimensions.
