## Long description

Western Digital Red Pro WD161KFGX is a 3.5" SATA internal hard drive with 16 TB capacity, 7,200 RPM spindle speed and 512 MB cache.

The drive includes extended thermal cycle burn-in testing to help ensure reliable operation under sustained use.

Error recovery controls are tuned for RAID to reduce drive fallout.
