Power-saving Hard Drives
Faster Performance
Reduced Power Consumption
Lower Cost of Ownership
Ideal for large data centers, web
service providers, commercial
grade surveillance systems and
organizations requiring huge
amounts of storage.
Faster and Greener.
This new generation of WD RE-GP drives takes advantage of the
performance improvements offered in our WD RE3 family of drives
and adds advanced power management technology to deliver a
faster, greener solution for large-scale data centers.
Faster – 64 MB cache, dual processors, and increased areal
density yield twice the processing power results up to a 25%
performance improvement over the previous generation.
Greener – Improvements in our power-conserving
technologies — IntelliSeek™, IntelliPark™, and IntelliPower™—
deliver improved power consumption over our previous
generation of WD RE-GP drive.
Improved rotary vibration tolerance – Optimized drive
mechanics, system characterization, and process validation
yields unmatched performance in high vibration environments.
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 center with 10,000 drives
could realize up to $100,000 in saving per year. •
