Product Benefits

A pedigree in enterprise

WD, one of the storage industry’s

pioneers and long-time leaders,

has a rich history of manufacturing

reliable enterprise storage at an

affordable cost. Built on a

time-tested, multi-generation

platform, with over 28 million

terabytes of enterprise-class

storage shipped*, WD understands

reliable high-quality products are

the backbone of your datacenter

investment.

Designed for quality and reliability

All drives undergo at least 5 million

hours of functional testing, and over

20 million hours of additional testing

under actual workloads in actual

server and storage systems.

*Quantity shipped reflected as of March 2013.

Dual processor

Twice the processing power to

maximize performance.

RAFF

™

rotational vibration

cancellation technology

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 the previous

generation of 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.

StableTrac

™

The motor shaft is secured at both

ends to reduce system-induced

vibration and stabilize platters for

accurate tracking during read and

write operations.

Multi-axis shock sensor

Automatically detects the subtlest

shock events and compensates to

protect the data.

RAID-specific, time-limited error

recovery (TLER)

Prevents drive fallout caused by the

extended hard drive error-recovery

processes common to desktop

drives.

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.

Thermal extended burn-in test

Each drive is put through extended

burn-in testing with thermal cycling to

ensure reliable operation.

Dynamic fly height technology

Each read-write head’s fly height is

adjusted in real time for optimum

reliability.

Applications

Ideal for bulk cloud storage, replicated environments, content delivery networks (CDNs), large-scale network attached storage (NAS), backup and archiving.
