Durability
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
workload environments, cloud storage, RAID arrays, external storage
arrays, data warehousing and mining applications.

Product Benefits
Industry’s highest capacity
nearline drive
Massive capacities up to 4 TB suit
even the most demanding datacenter
or cloud storage needs.
Designed for heavy application
workloads
Designed to handle up to 550 TB
per year in any heavy application
datacenter with the highest workload
capabilities of any WD 3.5 hard drive.
Up to 6 Gb/s transfer rates and
sustained sequential data rates of up
to 182 MB/s, deliver performance
and reliability to any datacenter
environment.
Designed for quality and reliability
With up to 1.4 million hour MTBF,
this high performance drive delivers
durability and the highest level of
reliability for 24x7x365 operation
in the most demanding storage
environments.
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 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. (2 TB and above)
Environmentally responsible
In addition to being RoHS compliant,
these drives are built with halogen
reduced components.
Self Encrypting Drive (SED) option
Optional secure model for encrypting
drives – Utilizing an AES 256 bit
encryption engine for Crypto erase
capability, WD supports both industry
standard commands of the Sanitize
Feature Set and also the Security
Feature Set which utilizes the Secure
Erase Unit (SEU) enhanced mode
bit.*
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. (2 TB and above)
Multi-axis shock sensor
Automatically detects the subtlest
shock events and compensates to
protect the data.
* SED drives may require TCG-compliant host or controller support. SED
drives may not be available in all countries.
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.
Dual processor
Twice the processing power to
maximize performance.
Applications
High-performance computing, high-reliability cloud storage, RAID arrays, high-availability external storage arrays, data warehousing and mining.
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.
