Enterprise Hard Drives

Good for Your Bottom Line
and the Environment.

As demand for storage continues to expand, the need for more
efficient power solutions becomes paramount. WD RE2-GP
enterprise SATA drives make it possible for large scale data centers
to increase storage capacity without exceeding available power, and
in many cases actually reduce power consumption. WD RE2-GP
drives help combat the four major challenges large data installations
face – total drive slots, maximum capacity, power allotment, and
available operations expense budget – while lowering the overall total
cost of ownership.

• Reduced power consumption – The combination of WD’s
IntelliSeek™, IntelliPark™, and IntelliPower™technologies bring
optimized performance at industry-leading low power
consumption; power is reduced as much as 40%.

• Eco-friendly servers – Each WD RE2-GP drive reduces drive
power consumption an average of 4-5 watts over competitor
drives making it possible for our energy-conscious customers to
build servers with higher capacities and the right balance of
performance, ensured reliability, and energy conservation.

• Lower total cost of ownership – Large data-hungry
organizations such as financial institutions and web service
providers may realize up to $10 savings per drive per year in
electricity costs (U.S.). A large data center with 10,000 drives
could realize up to $100,000 in savings per year.

• 24x7 reliability – With 1.2 million hours MTBF, these drives have
the highest available reliability rating on a high-capacity drive.

WD’s Exclusive Intelligent Drive Technology

IntelliPower – A fine-tuned balance of spin speed, transfer rate, and
caching algorithms designed to deliver both significant power
savings and solid performance.

Additionally, GreenPower drives consume less current during start
up allowing more drives to spin up simultaneously resulting in faster
system readiness.

IntelliSeek – Calculates optimum seek speeds to lower power
consumption, noise, and vibration.

IntelliPark – Delivers lower power consumption by automatically
unloading recording heads during idle to reduce aerodynamic drag,
and by disengaging read/write channel electronics.

Active Power Management – WD GreenPower drives monitor
work load and automatically invoke idle mode whenever possible to
further reduce unnecess
from idle mode is less than one second, providing seamless power
management between the drive and the host controller.
