WD Re

™

Datacenter Capacity HDD

WD Re datacenter hard drives offer up to 4 TB capacities and are 
available with SAS or SATA interface. With the highest error tolerance 
and MTBF of any capacity-optimized drive, WD Re delivers the 
durability and 24x7x365 reliability required in tightly packed vibration 
prone multi-drive systems. The combination of high-capacity, peak 
performance and robust design make WD Re drives ideal for heavy 
workload environments, cloud storage, RAID arrays, external storage 
arrays, data warehousing and mining applications.

Product Benefits

Industry’s highest capacity 
nearline drive
Massive capacities up to 4 TB suit 

even the most demanding datacenter 

or cloud storage needs.

Designed for heavy application 
workloads
Designed to handle up to 550 TB 

per year in any heavy application 

datacenter with the highest workload 

capabilities of any WD 3.5 hard drive. 

Up to 6 Gb/s transfer rates and 

sustained sequential data rates of up 

to 182 MB/s, deliver performance 

and reliability to any datacenter 

environment.

Designed for quality and reliability
With up to 1.4 million hour MTBF, 

this high performance drive delivers 

durability and the highest level of 

reliability for 24x7x365 operation 

in the most demanding storage 

environments.

Dual processor
Twice the processing power to 

maximize performance.

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.

Dual 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. (2 TB and above)

Dynamic fly height technology
Each read-write head’s fly height is 

adjusted in real time for optimum 

reliability.

Environmentally responsible
In addition to being RoHS compliant, 

these drives are built with halogen 

reduced components.

Self Encrypting Drive (SED) option
Optional secure model for encrypting 

drives – Utilizing an AES 256 bit 

encryption engine for Crypto erase 

capability, WD supports the industry 

standard commands of both the 

SCSI Sanitize command with Crypto 

Erase and the Trusted Computing 

Group (TCG) command set.*

™

The motor shaft is secured at both 

ends to reduce system-induced 

vibration and stabilize platters for 

accurate tracking during read and 

write operations. (2 TB and above)

™

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. 

* SED drives may require TCG-compliant host or controller support. SED 

drives may not be available in all countries..

RAID-specific, time-limited error 
recovery (TLER)
Prevents drive fallout caused by the 

extended hard drive error-recovery 

processes common to desktop 

drives.

Multi-axis shock sensor
Automatically detects the subtlest 

shock events and compensates to 

protect the data.

Dual port, full duplex connectivity
Offers higher reliability, performance 

and data availability by eliminating 

single points of failure, designed 

for high-availability mission-critical 

enterprise systems.

Thermal extended burn-in test
Each drive is put through extended 

burn-in testing with thermal cycling to 

ensure reliable operation.

Applications

High-performance computing, high-reliability cloud storage, RAID arrays, high-availability external storage arrays, data warehousing and mining.

The WD Advantage

WD puts our datacenter products through extensive Functional Integrity Testing (F.I.T) prior to any product launch. This testing ensures our products consistently 

meet the high quality and reliability standards of the WD brand. Following a FIT test the Enterprise System Group (ESG) testing validates interoperability with HBAs, 

operating systems and drivers to ensure an even greater level of quality, reliability and peace of mind.
WD also has a detailed Knowledge Base with helpful articles and software utilities. Our customer support lines have longer operational hours to ensure you get the 

help you need when you need it. Our toll-free customer support lines are here to help or you can access our WD Support site for additional details.
