Hard Drive WD Gold 1TB:WD hard drive family is expanded to include a model created the segment of busy servers and data centers. Gold drives use advanced technology to achieve the best results in terms of safety, energy efficiency and performance.WD hard drive family is expanding; it now includes a model designed specifically for busy servers and data centers. Gold hard drives use advanced technology to achieve the best results in terms of safety, energy efficiency and performance. They can handle continuous operation 24 × 7 × 365, workload of up to 550 TB per year and up to 2.5 million hours MTBF. That is one of the highest levels of durability that you can find among hard drives.Key featuresChoice of several capacities up to 10 TBDesigned as a storage server or a data centerFor non-stop operation (24 × 7 × 365)Ready for high loads (up to 550 TB per year, 2.5 mil. hours MTBF)Setting head with two drivesLower energy consumptionExtensive testing was done to ensure compatibilityBusiness solutionsThe disk uses the latest storage - HelioSeal (helium). As a result this generation achieves higher performance, lower energy consumption and greater capacity per platter. These are all certainly desirable properties of a data center, where TCO is reduced (Total Cost of Ownership). Moreover the Gold series is also subject to rigorous testing in a wide range of storage systems with different SATA controllers, to ensure worry-free Plug and play installation.
