Western Digital Caviar RE 500GB 7.2K Enterprise SATA Hard Drive WD5000YS - New Pull

WD RE 7200 RPM hard drives are engineered to thrive in a high duty cycle RAID system while still offering traditional low cost-per-capacity desktop value. Designed and manufactured to server-class standards, WD RE drives provide RAID-specific, time-limited error recovery (TLER) to significantly reduce drive fallout caused by extended drive error-recovery processes and are tested to 1 million hours MTBF. These drives include an 8 MB (SB) or 16 MB (YS) cache for faster time to data and fluid dynamic bearings (FDB) to reduce heat, vibration, and noise.

Product Benefits

Superior reliability — tested to 1 million hours MTBF at high duty cycle, these enterprise drives are designed and manufactured to provide server-class reliability.

Fast — with up to 3.0 Gb/s data transfer rate, and up to 16 MB cache, these drives deliver optimum performance in nearline server environments.

Low power — Active Power Save™ delivers best-in-class seek mode power consumption through advanced WD firmware that conserves power in active seek modes without degrading performance.

RAID-specific, time-limited error recovery (TLER) — a feature pioneered by WD that significantly reduces drive fallout caused by extended drive error-recovery processes common to desktop drives.


Compatibility:

This drive is compatible with any of our SATA hot swap trays and controllers.
