WD Re

Datacenter Capacity HDD

Durable capacity storage for high-availability deployments

WD Re datacenter hard drives offer up to 4 TB capacities and are

available with SAS or SATA interface. With the highest error tolerance
and MTBF of any capacity-optimized drive, WD Re delivers the
durability and 24x7x365 reliability required in tightly packed vibration
prone multi-drive systems. The combination of high-capacity, peak
performance and robust design make WD Re drives ideal for heavy Durability

workload environments, cloud storage, RAID arrays, external storage

arrays, data warehousing and mining applications.

The WD Advantage
WD puts our 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 longer 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 specification published by the SATA-IO organization as of the date of this specification
sheet. Visit www.sata-io.org for details.
