This new generation of WD RE-GP drives takes advantage of the performance improvements offered in our WD RE3 family of drives & adds advanced power management technology to deliver a faster, greener solution for large-scale data centers. Faster 64 MB cache, dual processors, & increased areal density yield twice the processing power results in up to 25% performance improvement over the previous generation. Greener Improvements in our power-conserving technologies
- Intelli Seek, Intelli Park, & Intelli Power
- deliver enhanced power consumption over our previous generation of WD RE-GP drive. enhanced rotary vibration tolerance Advanced mechanical optimizations along with system characterization & validation provide the highest performance under vibration conditions of any WD product. Lower total cost of ownership Large data-hungry organizations such as financial institutions & web service providers may realize up to $10 savings per drive per year in electricity costs (U.S.). A large data center with 10, 000 drives could realize up to $100, 000 in saving per year. 24x 7 reliability With 1.2 million hours MTBF, these drives have the highest available reliability rating on a high-capacity drive. Intelli Power A fine-tuned balance of spin speed, transfer rate, & caching algorithms designed to deliver both significant power savings & solid performance. in addition, drives with WD Green Power Technology consume less current during start up allowing more drives to spin up simultaneously resulting in faster system readiness. Intelli Seek Calculates optimum seek speeds to lower unnecessary power consumption, noise, & vibration. View demo > Intelli Park Delivers lower power consumption by automatically unloading recording heads during idle to reduce aerodynamic drag, & by disengaging read/write channel electronics. Active Power Management Drives with WD Green Power Technology monitor the work load & automatically invoke idle mode whenever possible to further reduce unnecessary power consumption. Drive recovery time from idle mode is less than one second, providing seamless power management between the drive & the host controller. Perpendicular Magnetic Recording (PMR) Employs PMR technology to achieve even greater areal density. Stable Trac Secures the motor shaft at both ends to reduce system-induced vibration & stabilize platters for accurate tracking, during read & write operations. RAID-specific time-limited error recovery (TLER) Pioneered by WD, this feature prevents drive fallout caused by the extended hard drive error-recovery processes common to desktop drives. Rotary Acceleration Feed Forward (RAFF) Optimizes operation & performance when the drives are used in vibration-prone multi-drive systems such as rack mounted servers.
