Product Benefits
High capacity nearline drive
Multiple capacities to suit even the most demanding datacenter, enterprise server, or cloud storage needs.
Designed for high-intensity applications
Designed to handle workloads up to 550TB per year – among the highest workload capability of any 3.5-inch hard drive – delivering both performance and reliability to any datacenter environment.
StableTrac™
(excluding FBYZ models)
The motor shaft is secured at both ends to reduce system-induced vibration and stabilize platters for accurate tracking during read and write operations.
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 significant performance improvement in high vibration environments over desktop drives.
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 fine tune the head positioning to a higher degree of accuracy.
ROTATIONAL SPEED
7200 RPM
Multi-axis shock sensor
Automatically detects the subtlest shock events and compensates to protect the data.
RAID-specific, time-limited error recovery (TLER)
Reduces drive fallout caused by the extended hard drive error-recovery processes common to desktop drives.
Designed for quality and reliability
With 2.0 million hours MTBF, these drives ensure one of the highest level reliability ratings for high-capacity enterprise storage needs.
CAPACITIES
1TB to 4TB
Thermal extended burn-in test
Each drive is put through extended burn-in testing with thermal cycling to ensure reliable operation.
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.
Dynamic fly height technology
Each read-write head’s fly height
is adjusted in real time for optimum reliability.
Applications
Online Analytical Processing (OLAP), data warehousing/mining, high-performance computing, high-end NAS/SAN and surveillance systems, and high-availability cloud storage arrays.
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.
