WD 2TB™
Ø
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.
Ø
Greener
- Improvements in our power-conserving
technologies - IntelliSeek™,
IntelliPark™, and IntelliPower™ -
deliver improved power consumption over
our previous generation of WD RE-GP
drive.
Ø
Improved rotary vibration tolerance - Advanced mechanical
optimizations along with system
characterization and validation provide
the highest performance under vibration
conditions of any WD product.
Ø
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 centre with 10,000 drives
could realize up to $100,000 in saving
per year.
Ø
24x7 reliability
- With 1.2 million hours MTBF, these
drives have the highest available
reliability rating on a high-capacity
drive.
Ø
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.
Ø
IntelliSeek™
- Calculates optimum seek speeds to
lower unnecessary power consumption,
noise, and vibration.

Ø
IntelliPark™
- Delivers lower power consumption by
automatically unloading recording heads
during idle to reduce aerodynamic drag,
and by disengaging read/write channel
electronics.
Ø
Active Power Management - WD drives with GreenPower™
technology monitor work load and
automatically invoke idle mode whenever
possible to further reduce unnecessary
power consumption. Drive recovery time
from idle mode is less than one second,
providing seamless power management
between the drive and the host
controller.
Ø
Perpendicular Magnetic Recording (PMR) - Employs PMR
technology to achieve even greater areal
density.
Ø
StableTrac™
- Secures the motor shaft at both ends
to reduce system-induced vibration and
stabilize platters for accurate
tracking, during read and write
operations.

Ø
RAID-specific time-limited error
recovery (TLER) - Pioneered by
WD, this feature prevents drive fallout
caused by the extended hard drive
error-recovery processes common to
desktop drives.
Ø
Rotary Acceleration Feed Forward (RAFF™) - Optimizes operation
and performance when the drives are used
in vibration-prone multi-drive systems
such as rack mounted servers. |
