WD RE SAS
Enterprise Hard Drives
WD RE SAS hard drives are engineered to offer data-hungry SAS
storage systems the massive capacity they need without
compromising top-of-the-line performance. Advanced reliability
and data integrity features allow for 24x7 operation in tightly
packed vibration prone multi-drive systems. This
uncompromising combination of high-capacity, peak
performance and best-in-class reliability make WD RE SAS drives
ideal for business critical applications.

Product Benefits
High-capacity
WD RE SAS hard drives are available with
up to 2 TB for capacity-intensive storage
applications.
Peak performance
Ultra-fast 6 Gb/s SAS interface
maximizes transfer rates while dual-stage
actuator technology enables fine-tuned
read/write accuracy.
WIDTH/HEIGHT
3.5-inch/1-inch
Enterprise-class reliability
Engineered for 24x7 operation with 1.2
million hours MTBF, these drives have the
highest available reliability ratings on a
high-capacity drive.
Compatibility
An ultra-fast 6 Gb/s SAS interface
enables easy integration into SAS storage
subsystems while delivering twice the
interface speed of traditional 3 Gb/s SAS
nearline hard drives.
ROTATIONAL SPEED
7200 RPM
Vibration protection
Enhanced Rotary Acceleration Feed
Forward (RAFF™) technology includes
sophisticated electronics to monitor the
drive and correct both linear and
rotational vibration in real time resulting in
improved performance and efficiency in
densely packed multi-drive systems.
NoTouch™ramp load technology
The recording head never touches the
disk media ensuring significantly less
wear to the recording head and media as
well as better drive protection in transit.
CAPACITIES
1 TB and 2 TB
Note: Not all products may be
available in all regions of the
world.
Enhanced error correction
Full internal IOEDC/IOECC* data integrity
protection means the drive finds and
corrects potential errors before they ever
surface.
Environmentally conscious
In addition to being ROHS compliant,
these drives also incorporate a halogen
free design.
5-year limited warranty

Applications
High-capacity data center storage, storage area networks (SAN), network attached storage (NAS), direct attach storage (DAS), networked surveillance systems, and cloud
storage.

As used for storage capacity, one megabyte (MB) = one million bytes, on e 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 SAS 6 Gb/s transfer rate calculated according to the SAS specification published by the INCITS T10
organization as of the date of this specification sheet. Visit www.t10.org for details.
