WD 18TB Elements Desktop External Hard Drive - USB 3.0, Black

Product Information

It features 10 platters and uses CMR (conventional magnetic recording) rather than the controversial SMR to reach that capacity.

To know why it happens, you need to know the difference between the Decimal system and the Binary system. It’s worth jumping up if you want the very best performance, and it’s also probably worth paying more for the longer warranty period.The EXOS drive beats the IronWolf Pro with a workload limit of 550TB, a significant improvement over the 300TB of its brother mechanism.

TB/yr workload rating is plenty reasonable for most users when the drives are going to be used as part of RAID arrays. Hard disk drives are quietly increasing in capacity and one of the areas of growth remains local storage, not in terms of personal computers but across network attached storage or NAS devices where one or more hard drives tend to be deployed. There are three active vendors in the consumer hard drive space - Seagate, Toshiba, and Western Digital.That aside, the performance and warranty are both good, so this is a choice that comes down to pricing.
