WD RE SAS hard drives are available with up to 2 TB for capacity-intensive storage applications.
Peak performance.
Ultra-fast 6 Gb/s SAS interface maximizes transfer rates while dual-stage actuator technology enables fine-tuned read/write accuracy.
Enterprise-class reliability.
Engineered for 24x7 operation with 1.2 million hours MTBF, these drives have the highest available reliability ratings on a high-capacity drive.

Product Features:

High-capacity
WD RE SAS hard drives are available with up to 2 TB for capacity-intensive storage applications.

Peak performance
Ultra-fast 6 Gb/s SAS interface maximizes transfer rates while dual-stage actuator technology enables fine-tuned read/write accuracy.

Enterprise-class reliability
Engineered for 24x7 operation with 1.2 million hours MTBF, these drives have the highest available reliability ratings on a high-capacity drive.

Compatibility
An ultra-fast 6 Gb/s SAS interface enables easy integration into SAS storage subsystems while delivering twice the interface speed of traditional 3 Gb/s SAS nearline hard drives.

Vibration protection
Enhanced Rotary Acceleration Feed Forward (RAFF™) technology includes sophisticated electronics to monitor the drive and correct both linear and rotational vibration in real time resulting in improved performance and efficiency in densely packed multi-drive systems.

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.

Enhanced error correction
Full internal IOEDC/IOECC* data integrity protection means the drive finds and corrects potential errors before they ever surface.

Environmentally conscious
In addition to being ROHS compliant, these drives also incorporate a halogen free design.

Ideal for
High-capacity data center storage, storage area networks (SAN), network attached storage (NAS), direct attach storage (DAS), networked surveillance systems and cloud storage.

* Business Critical RAID Environments – WD Caviar Black Hard Drives are not recommended for and are not warranted for use in RAID environments utilizing Enterprise HBAs and/or expanders and in multi-bay chassis, as they are not designed for, nor tested in, these specific types of RAID applications. For all Business Critical RAID applications, please consider WD's Enterprise Hard Drives that are specifically designed with RAID-specific, time-limited error recovery (TLER), are tested extensively in 24x7 RAID applications, and include features like enhanced RAFF technology and thermal extended burn-in testing.
1 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 3 Gb/s and SATA 6 Gb/s transfer rates 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.
2 WD hard drive products manufactured and sold worldwide after June 1, 2006, meet or exceed Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) compliance requirements as mandated by the European Union for electrical and electronic products. The RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC of the European Parliament, which is effective in the EU beginning July 1, 2006, aims to protect human health and the environment by restricting the use of certain hazardous substances in new equipment, and consists of restrictions on lead, mercury, cadmium, and other substances.
