Upgrade the storage capacity on your WD Sentinel small office storage server. As demand for storage continues to exp&, the need for more efficient power solutions becomes paramount. WD T3 enterprise SATA hard drives make it possible for large-scale data centers to increase storage capacity without exceeding available power, & in many cases actually reducing power consumption. WD T3 drives help combat the four major challenges large data installations face
- total drive slots, maximum capacity, power allotment, & financial constraints
- while lowering the total cost of ownership.

Data centers face growing pressures to store more with flat-to-shrinking budgets. Keeping systems operational for as long as possible to maximize investments can be an effective part of the strategy, but supporting those legacy applications becomes even more challenging as drive technologies move to next generation formats & interfaces. Ultrastar 7K2 has a SATA 6 Gb/s interface & native 512-byte sector size to provide high performance & compatibility with legacy data center applications. Enhanced RAFF technology in the 7K2

Includes:: sophisticated electronics to monitor the drive & correct both linear & rotational vibration disturbances in real time
- especially helpful in multi-drive arrays & rack-mounted systems maintaining high read/write performance.

SATA SSDs have long been used in data centers & cloud storage. But as capacity needs grow along with the necessity to access data with minimal latency, the adequacy of the interface bandwidth between the host & the drive comes under scrutiny. With no announced evolution of the SATA standard beyond SATA 3.x (6 Gbps), the use of SATA SSDs in the cloud has reached performance limits. While capacity & bandwidth can be scaled by supplementing more SATA drives, they will come at the cost of increased floor space & lower PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness). The sprawling effect of SATA SSDs can be mitigated by the use of Ultrastar DC SN620 NVMe-compliant SSDs. By delivering 3x the bandwidth of enterprise SATA SSDs, like Cloud Speed Gen. II SATA SSDs from the San Disk br&, Ultrastar DC SN620 SSDs can yield server consolidation benefits as much as 3:1. ...
