WD RE2 hard drives are the world’s most reliable server-class SATA drives in
the market. With 1.2 million hours MTBF, 5-year limited warranty, 3 Gb/s
SATA technology, and best-in-class vibration tolerance, WD RE2 drives offer
the best combination of superior reliability, high capacity, and optimum
performance for enterprise applications.
Product Benefits
Superior reliability - Designed and manufactured to server-class standards to provide
best-in-class enterprise reliability in high duty cycle environments. With 1.2 million hours
MTBF, these drives have the highest available reliability rating on a high-capacity drive.
High capacity - Up to 750 GB of storage packed with server-class features and low
cost-per-gigabyte value.
Fast - With a next-generation SATA interface, 3 Gb/s data transfer rate, Native Command
Queuing (NCQ), and 16 MB cache, these drives deliver optimum performance.
Low power - Active Power Save™delivers best-in-class seek mode power consumption
through an advanced WD firmware which conserves power in active seek modes without
degrading performance.

significantly reduces drive fallout caused by the extended hard drive error-recovery processes
common to desktop drives.
Rotary Acceleration Feed Forward (RAFF™)- Provides best-in-class vibration tolerance
by optimizing operation and performance when the drives are used in vibration-prone,
multidrive systems such as rack-mounted servers or network storage.
5-year limited warranty
