Product overview

Western Digital’s WD Red Pro 14TB (WD141KFGX) launched on October 24, 2019 as part of the WD Red Pro NAS HDD family. It’s a 3.5-inch SATA 6 Gb/s, 7200 RPM CMR drive with a 512 MB cache.

Positioned in our workstation tier, it exists for multi-bay NAS arrays that prioritize durability and 24/7 reliability over desktop-style burst speed. It’s a strong fit for RAIDed mass storage, Plex/media libraries, backups and shared project folders, and can serve as a NAS-hosted video‑editing scratch volume for proxy workflows. Designed for large enclosures with vibration controls and NASware firmware, including support for up to 24 bays.
