Remember when everyone said that hard drives would be dead by 2020? Yes, to say that statement has been debunked so incredibly thoroughly that it seems a bit comical to think that HDDs were going to go away any time soon. Yes, SSDs still continue to become more affordable AND faster with each generation (PCIe Gen 5 clocking in at 12/13GB/s), but HDDs will ALWAYS have the advantage of just sheer capacity and value for money - with the new WD Red Pro 22TB hard drive being a prime example of why this storage medium continues to thrive. Arriving at a steep £609/$690 price tag, still manages to maintain the same level of price per TB of its' smaller capacity alternatives in the portfolio - but with a staggering 22 Terabytes of capacity available, spread over 10 2.2TB platters and benefiting from on board to improve internal operations and space conservation. It even arrives in CMR/PMR format, so concerns of these larger drives only arriving in SMR design are out the window too. The 22TB is a big deal in many different ways and if you are in the market to buy a new server and want to prioritize storage capacity, this drive has the potential to turn a 2-Bay into a 44TB cupboard beast, a 4-Bay into an 88TB Monster and an 8-Bay into a potential 176TB behemoth! Of course, drives like the WD Red Pro series are designed for even bigger system deployment (up to 24 Bays in fact - which would cross half a Petabyte of storage) and you should always factor in your RAID/Redundancy, but right now this is the biggest commercially available HDD for NAS in the market and in terms of futureproofing your archive or your warm data storage - this drive is tremendously compelling! Today, I review the WD Rd Pro 22TB NAS drive, run our PC benchmarks, check compatibility with Synology & QNAP NAS systems and benchmark the drive there too.
