High workload rating
Delivering dependable performance to any storage environment, WD GoldTM hard drives are designed with a workload rating up to 550TB per year, among the highest of any 3.5-inch hard drive.
Enterprise-class storage to rely on
With up to 2.5 million hours MTBF, WD GoldTM hard drives deliver reliability and durability, are built for yearly operation (24x7x365) within the most demanding storage environments.
HelioSeal technology
Featured in over 15 million Western Digital hard drives shipped, HelioSeal technology allows for higher capacities and less turbulence on large storage arrays. And now on its 4th generation design, HelioSeal technology is eld-tested and proven to deliver high capacity, reliability, and power effciency you can trust.
Vibration protection
Enhanced RAFF technology uses sophisticated electronics to monitor the drive and correct linear and rotational vibrations in real time for improved performance versus WD’s desktop drives in high vibration environments. Enhanced RAFF technology monitors the drive and corrects both linear and rotational vibration in real time. This delivers a significant improvement to performance in high vibration environments compared to our desktop hard drives.
RAID-specific, time-limited error recovery (TLER)
Time-limited error recovery helps to reduce drive fallout within a storage environment caused by the extended hard drive error-recovery processes common to desktop drives
Dynamic fly height technology
Each read-write head’s y height is adjusted in real time to ensure consistent performance for reduced errors and optimised reliability.
