About WD RE

The WD RE 2TB 3.5" SATA Internal Hard Drive is a powerful combination of enterprise-class performance and high capacity required for superior performance computing and business-critical environments. The hard drive delivers transfer rates of up to 6 Gbps and high random I/O rates. It is coupled with a dual processor, which provides twice the processing power to maximize performance.

The WD RE SATA Hard Drive's Time-Limited Error Recovery (TLER) feature prevents drive fall-out caused by extended hard drive error-recovery processes. The NoTouch ramp load technology ensures that the recording head never touches the disk media. This allows significantly less wear to the recording head and media as well as enhanced drive protection in transit. In addition, thermal cycling guarantees that each drive is put through an extended burn-in test for reliable operation.

Dynamic fly height technology enables each read-write head's fly height to be adjusted in real-time for optimum reliability. With 64MB cache, the WD RE SATA Hard Drive ensures faster data transactions. It is ideal for use in servers, video surveillance and other demanding write-intensive applications. For RAID-based enterprise surveillance applications, WD RE hard drives deliver cool operation and enhanced reliability features.

WD RE Features

  • High Performance for Business-Critical Applications: The hard drive delivers transfer rates of up to 6 Gb/s and high random I/O rates
  • Designed for Quality and Reliability: With a field-tested 1.4 million hours MTBF, the WD RE SATA Hard Drive offers high reliability. It also provides advanced level of reliability for 24x7 operation in up to 100% duty cycle applications
  • Dual Processor: The hard drive features a dual processor, which provides twice the processing power to maximize performance
  • Vibration Protection: The enhanced RAFF technology monitors the drive and corrects both linear and rotational vibration in real-time. It thus provides optimum performance even in high vibration environments
  • Dual Actuator Technology: The WD RE SATA Hard Drive features a head positioning system with two actuators, which improves positional accuracy over the data tracks. The primary actuator provides coarse displacement using conventional electromagnetic actuator principles
  • StableTrac: The motor shaft is secured at both ends to reduce system-induced vibration and stabilize platters. It thus enables accurate tracking of read and writes operations
  • Multi-Axis Shock Sensor: The multi-axis shock sensor feature automatically detects the subtlest shock events and compensates to protect the data
  • RAID-Specific Time-Limited Error Recovery (TLER): This feature prevents drive fall-out caused by extended hard drive error-recovery processes common to desktop drives
  • NoTouch Ramp Load Technology: The recording head never touches the disk media. This ensures significantly less wear to the recording head and media as well as better drive protection in transit
  • Thermal Extended Burn-In Test: The hard 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
  • Environmentally Responsible: In addition to being RoHS compliant, these drives are built with halogen reduced components
  • Applications: The WD RE SATA Hard Drive is ideal for servers, video surveillance and other demanding write-intensive applications
