Product Benets
A pedigree in enterprise
WD, one of the storage industry’s
pioneers and long-time leaders,
has a rich history of manufacturing
reliable enterprise storage at an
affordable cost. Built on a
time-tested, multi-generation
platform, with over 28 million
terabytes of enterprise-class
storage shipped*, WD understands
reliable high-quality products are
the backbone of your datacenter
investment.
Designed for quality and reliability
All drives undergo at least 5 million
hours of functional testing, and over
20 million hours of additional testing
under actual workloads in actual
server and storage systems.
*Quantity shipped reected as of March 2013.
Dual processor
Twice the processing power to
maximize performance.
RAFF™rotational vibration
cancellation technology
Enhanced RAFF technology includes
sophisticated electronics to monitor
the drive and correct both linear and
rotational vibration in real time. The
result is a signicant 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 ne tune the
head positioning to a higher degree
of accuracy.
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.
Multi-axis shock sensor
Automatically detects the subtlest
shock events and compensates to
protect the data.
RAID-specic, 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 signicantly
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 y height technology
Each read-write head’s y height is
adjusted in real time for optimum
reliability.
Applications
Ideal for bulk cloud storage, replicated environments, content delivery networks (CDNs), large-scale network attached storage (NAS), backup and archiving.

1As 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 specication published by the SATA-IO organization as of the date of this specication sheet. Visit
www.sata-io.org for details.
2WD hard drive products manufactured and sold worldwide after June 8, 2011, meet or exceed Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) compliance requirements as mandated by the RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU.
3Controlled unload at ambient condition.
4 Product MTBF and AFR specications are based upon a 40°C base casting and system workloads of up to 180 TB/year (workload is dened as the amount of user data transferred to or from the hard drive).
5 The term of the limited warranty may vary by region. Visit http://support.wd.com/warranty for details.
6 No non-recoverable errors during operating tests or after non-operating tests.
