Full range of nearline capacities
From entry-level servers to high
end enterprise storage systems, WD
Gold™ hard drives oer the capacities
required for the most demanding
datacenter environments.
High workload capability
Delivering both performance
and reliability to any datacenter
environment, WD Gold™ hard drives
are designed to handle workloads up
to 550TB per year which is among the
highest workload capability of any 3.5inch hard drive.
High level of reliability
With up to 2.5 million hours MTBF,
WD Gold™ hard drives deliver one
of the highest levels of reliability
and durability for yearly operation
(24x7x365) within the most demanding
storage environments.
WIDTH/HEIGHT
3.5-inch/1-inch
Vibration protection
Enhanced RAFF™ technology includes
sophisticated electronics to monitor
the drive and correct both linear and
rotational vibration in real time. The
result is a signicant performance
improvement in high vibration
environments over our desktop hard
drives.
RAID-specic, time-limited error
recovery (TLER)
Reduces drive fallout caused by the
extended hard drive error-recovery
processes common to desktop drives.
PERFORMANCE CLASS
7200 RPM Class
Dynamic y height technology
Each read-write head’s y height is
adjusted in real time for optimum
reliability.
Dual actuator technology
A head positioning system with two
actuators that improves positional
accuracy over the data track(s). The
primary actuator provides coarse
displacement using conventional
electromagnetic actuator principles.
The secondary actuator uses
piezoelectric motion to ne tune the
head positioning to a higher degree of
accuracy.
CAPACITIES
1TB to 10TB
Compatibility testing
All WD Gold™ hard drives are
extensively tested across a variety of
popular OEM storage systems, SATA
controllers, and host bus adapters, to
ensure ease of integration for a plug
and play solution.
Premium support
Dedicated 24x7 over the phone
support is included with every WD
Gold™ hard drive.
Applications
Enterprise servers, datacenter environments, enterprise storage systems, data warehousing/mining, enterprise NAS, and high end surveillance systems.
The WD Advantage
WD puts datacenter products through extensive Functional Integrity Testing (F.I.T.) prior to any product launch. This testing ensures our products consistently meet
the high quality and reliability standards of the WD brand. Following a FIT test the Enterprise System Group (ESG) testing validates interoperability with HBAs,
operating systems, and drivers, to ensure an even greater level of quality, reliability, and peace of mind.
WD also has a detailed Knowledge Base with helpful articles and software utilities. Our customer support lines have long operational hours to ensure you get the
help you need when you need it. Our toll-free customer support lines are here to help or you can access our WD Support site for additional details.

As used for storage capacity, one megabyte (MB) = one million bytes, one gigabyte (GB) = one billion bytes, and one terabyte (TB) = one trillion bytes. Total accessible capacity varies depending on operating environment. As used for buffer or cache, one megabyte (MB) = 1,048,576 bytes. As used for transfer rate
or interface, megabyte per second (MB/s) = one million bytes per second, and gigabit per second (Gb/s) = one billion bits per second. Effective maximum SATA 6 Gb/s transfer rate calculated according to the Serial ATA specication published by the SATA-IO organization as of the date of this specication sheet. Visit
www.sata-io.org for details.
