WD RE
SAS Hard Drives
WD RE hard drives are engineered to offer data-hungry SAS 
storage systems the massive capacity they need without 
compromising top-of-the-line performance. Advanced reliability 
and data integrity features allow for 24x7 operation in tightly 
packed vibration prone multi-drive systems. This 
uncompromising combination of high-capacity, peak 
performance and best-in-class reliability make WD RE drives 
ideal for business critical applications.

Industry’s highest capacity 
nearline drive
WD RE SAS hard drives are available in 
capacities ranging from 1 TB to 4 TB to 
suit even the most demanding storage 
needs.  
Highest performance for 
business-critical applications
WD RE delivers 6 Gb/s transfer rates, 
sustained sequential data rates of up to 
182 MB/s and high random I/O rates.
Designed for quality and 
reliability
With a field-tested 1.4 million hour MTBF, 
this high performance drive delivers the 
highest level of reliability for 24x7 
operation in up to 100% duty cycle 
applications.
Dual port, full duplex 
connectivity
Offers higher reliability, performance and 
data availability by eliminating single 
points of failure, designed for leading 
business-critical Enterprise topologies.
Environmentally conscious
In addition to being RoHS compliant, 
WD RE is built with halogen-reduced 
components.
NoTouch
ramp load technology
The recording head never touches the 
disk media ensuring significantly less 
wear to the recording head and media as 
well as better drive protection in transit.
Dual stage actuator technology
A head positioning system with two 
actuators that improves positional 
accuracy over the data track(s). The 
primary actuator provides coarse 
displacement using conventional 
electromagnetic actuator principles. The 
secondary actuator uses piezoelectric 
motion to fine tune the head positioning 
to a higher degree of accuracy.
Vibration Protection
Enhanced RAFF™ technology includes 
sophisticated electronics to monitor the 
drive and correct both linear and 
rotational vibration in real time. The result 
is a significant performance improvement 
in high vibration environments over the 
previous generation of drives.
Multi-axis shock sensor
Automatically detects the subtlest shock 
events and compensates to protect the 
data.
Dynamic fly height technology
Each read-write head’s fly height is 
adjusted in real time for optimum 
reliability.
Ultra compatible
An ultra-fast 6 Gb/s SAS interface 
enables easy integration into SAS storage 
subsystems while delivering twice the 
interface speed of traditional 3 Gb/s SAS 
nearline hard drives.
5-year limited warranty
Product Benefits
Applications
High-capacity data center storage, storage area networks (SAN), network attached storage (NAS), direct attach storage (DAS), networked surveillance systems and cloud 
storage.
