Product Review

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.
