24 TB enterprise HDD for bulk storage

The Western Digital WD Gold 24 TB 3.5 in SATA HDD delivers 24 TB of capacity on a 7200 RPM platform with a 512 MB cache. It is built for always-on workloads in servers, NAS arrays and workstations that need high sequential throughput for archival, backup or media libraries.

Verify SATA power and drive bay clearance

Confirm the host system has a free SATA III port and a 3.5 in drive bay with mounting screws. Ensure the power supply provides a SATA power connector and that the chassis airflow path reaches the drive location.

Typical thermals and power profile

At 7200 RPM the drive runs warmer than lower-speed models, so case airflow across the top cover matters. Idle power is low, while sustained sequential reads at 262 MB/s draw more current; plan cooling accordingly. Acoustic output is audible during heavy seek activity.

Questions about this item

Does the WD Gold 24 TB drive ship with mounting screws or a SATA cable, or must I buy them separately?

The drive is supplied as a bare OEM unit; mounting screws and a SATA III data cable are not included and must be purchased separately if your chassis or motherboard does not already provide them.

The WD Gold line includes several capacities — why choose the 24 TB model over smaller sizes?

The 24 TB capacity delivers the highest raw storage in the WD Gold family while keeping the same 7200 RPM speed, 512 MB cache and 5-year warranty, making it the best fit when a single 3.5 in bay must hold the maximum data.

What does the 262 MB/s read speed mean for everyday workloads on this 7200 RPM SATA drive?

The 262 MB/s sequential read rate lets the drive sustain large-file transfers, backups and video ingest at near-interface limits, while the 7200 RPM spindle and 512 MB cache keep random-access latency low for multi-user NAS or server workloads.
