This new generation of WD
RE-GP drives takes advantage
of the performance
improvements offered in our
WD RE3 family of drives and
adds advanced power
management technology to
deliver a faster, greener
solution for large-scale
data centers.
Key Features
Faster - 64 MB
cache, dual processors,
and 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 -
IntelliSeek, IntelliPark,
and IntelliPower -
deliver improved power
consumption over our
previous generation of
WD RE-GP drive.
Improved rotary
vibration tolerance
- Advanced mechanical
optimizations along with
system characterization
and 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
and 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.
24x7 reliability
- With 1.2 million hours
MTBF, these drives have
the highest available
reliability rating on a
high-capacity drive.
IntelliPower - A
fine-tuned balance of
spin speed, transfer
rate, and caching
algorithms designed to
deliver both significant
power savings and solid
performance.
Additionally, GreenPower
drives consume less
current during start up
allowing more drives to
spin up simultaneously
resulting in faster
system readiness.
IntelliSeek -
Calculates optimum seek
speeds to lower
unnecessary power
consumption, noise, and
vibration.
IntelliPark -
Delivers lower power
consumption by
automatically unloading
recording heads during
idle to reduce
aerodynamic drag, and by
disengaging read/write
channel electronics.
Active Power Management
- WD drives with
GreenPower Technology
monitor work load and
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 and the host
controller.
Perpendicular Magnetic
Recording (PMR) -
Employs PMR technology
to achieve even greater
areal density.
StableTrac - Secures the
motor shaft at both ends
to reduce system-induced
vibration and stabilize
platters for accurate
tracking, during read
and 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 and
performance when the
drives are used in
vibration-prone
multi-drive systems such
as rack mounted servers.
Ideal For
Large data centers, web
service providers,
commercial grade
surveillance systems and
organizations requiring huge
amounts of storage with
limited budget and power
allotment.
