Product overview
Part number WD181KFGX identifies this Western Digital 18TB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s 3.5-in hard Drive. Rebuild time scales with capacity, so a large drive in a parity group is a longer window of exposure. This one spins at 7200RPM. Tell us the RAID level and group size and we will say plainly whether the geometry still makes sense.
Send the quantity you need and we will come back within 48 business hours with availability confirmed, not estimated.

What you get ordering this from us
Ordered by part number
Quoted and supplied against WD181KFGX specifically, so what arrives is what your build sheet asks for.
Volume pricing
The listed price is per unit; tiered pricing applies at quantity and purchase orders are accepted.
Firmware family matched
A mechanically identical drive with the wrong firmware is rejected by the controller; we check the family, not just the capacity.
Questions buyers ask about this part
Is WD181KFGX genuine and is the warranty intact?
Yes. It ships new in Western Digital packaging, which is what keeps the warranty and the firmware entitlement valid. Anything we cannot supply that way we tell you about before you order.
Will WD181KFGX work in my server?
Send the server model or the shelf it is going into. Vendor-keyed firmware is the usual reason an identical-looking drive is rejected, so we check that alongside interface and form factor.
Do you accept purchase orders and quote at volume?
Yes, POs from qualified organisations, net terms on approval, and banded pricing once the quantity is worth banding. Send the number and we will price it properly.

Specifying a system, not just the part?
Bulk capacity usually sits behind the flash tier that feeds a training cluster rather than under it.
