High workload rating Delivering dependable performance to any storage environment, WD Gold™ hard drives are designed with a workload rating up to 550TB per year 1, 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 Gold hard drives deliver reliability & durability, are built for yearly operation (24x 7x 365) within the most demanding storage environments, & are backed with a 5 year limited warranty. Helio Seal™ Technology Featured in over 15 million Western Digital hard drives shipped 2, Helio Seal™ technology allows for higher capacities & less turbulence on large storage arrays. & now on its 4th generation design, Helio Seal™ technology is field-tested & proven to deliver high capacity, reliability, & power efficiency you can trust. Vibration protection Enhanced RAFF™ technology uses sophisticated electronics to monitor the drive & correct linear & rotational vibrations in real time for enhanced performance versus WD’s desktop drives in high-vibration environments. RAID-specific, time-limited error recovery (TLER) Reduces drive fallout caused by the extended hard drive error-recovery processes common to desktop drives. Dynamic fly height technology Each read-write head’s fly height is adjusted in real time to ensure consistent performance for reduced errors & optimized reliability. Dual-stage actuator technology WD Gold drives feature a dual-stage actuator head positioning system for a high degree of accuracy. The primary stage provides course displacement while the secondary stage uses piezoelectric motion to fine tune the head positioning to a higher degree of precision. Compatibility testing All WD Gold hard drives are extensively tested across a variety of popular OEM storage systems, SATA controllers, & host bus adapters to ensure ease of integration for a plug & play solution. 7200RPM-Class This 7200RPM-class hard drive delivers the fastest performance with the highest workload rating of any HDD in WD’s lin eup. Ensure you have the most capable hard drive regardless of the application with WD Gold.
