- Overview
Overview
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.

Features
Superior reliability - Designed and manufactured to server-class standards to provide best-in-class enterprise reliability in high duty cycle environments. With 1.2 million hours MTBF at 100% duty cycle, these drives have the highest available reliability rating on a high-capacity drive.
Low power - Active Power Save delivers best-in-class seek mode power consumption through an advanced WD firmware which conserves power in active seek modes without degrading performance.
RAID-specific, time-limited error recovery (TLER) - A feature pioneered by WD, significantly reduces drive fallout caused by the extended hard drive error-recovery processes common to desktop drives.
Rotary Acceleration Feed Forward (RAFF) - Provides best-in-class vibration tolerance by optimizing operation and performance when the drives are used in vibration-prone, multidrive systems such as rack-mounted servers or network storage.
