Enterprise-class Gold line drives are constructed for really severe workload, overcoming desktop drives’ rates by ten times. From the very beginning Gold solutions have been designed with reference to capacity, reliability, productivity and energy efficiency factors. For instance, the novelty offers 2.5 million hours of MTBF, which is one of the highest figures among analogous WD products.


The manufacturer applied its 4th gen HelioSeal technology, when drives are sealed with helium for extra service security. The refined RAFF feature presupposes the usage of complex electronics, ensuring drive operation control, as well as linear and angular vibration alignment in the real time mode, and, thus, increasing overall efficiency. The time-bounded error recovery function precludes cases of idle …
