applications.
Product Features
----------------
Ultra-fast SAS storage - WD Xe delivers 6 Gb/s transfer rates,
best-in-class maximum sequential data rate of 204 MB/s and
outstanding random I/O performance.
Lower your power consumption - WD Xe SAS hard drives provide up
to 900 GB of high performance storage suitable for both
enterprise server and storage applications. The ultra-fast 6 Gb/s
SAS interface enables optimum data reliability, availability, and
scalability. Designed for environments where space is limited and
low power consumption is needed, the WD Xe drives are an
effective solution for online transaction processing (OLTP),
database query, analytics, high-performance computing and
multi-tenant server applications.
3.5-inch performance adapter - WD Xe comes pre-ed in a
3.5-inch performance adapter, providing easy installation into
legacy 3.5-inch server and storage system slots, while optimizing
the drive's thermal management efficiency. (HKHG models only)
Dual processor - Twice the processing power to maximize
performance.
Dual port, full duplex connectivity- Offers higher reliability,
performance and data availability by eliminating single points of
failure, designed for high-availability mission-critical
enterprise systems.
Dual actuator technology -A head positioning system with two
actuators that improves positional accuracy over the data
track(s). The primary actuator provides coarse displacement using
conventional electromagnetic actuator principles. The secondary
actuator uses piezoelectric motion to fine tune the head
positioning to a higher degree of accuracy.
Srac - The motor shaft is secured at both ends to reduce
system-induced vibration and stabilize platters for accurate
tracking during read and write operations. (2 TB and above)
Multi-axis shock sensor - Automatically detects the subtlest
shock events and compensates to protect the data.
Vibration Protection - Enhanced RAFF technology includes
sophisticated electronics to monitor the drive and correct both
linear and rotational vibration in real time. The result is a
significant performance improvement in high vibration
environments over the previous generation of drives.
RAID-specific, time-limited error recovery (TLER) - Prevents
drive fallout caused by the extended hard drive error-recovery
processes common to desktop drives.
Thermal extended burn-in test - Each drive is put through
extended burn-in testing with thermal cycling to ensure reliable
operation.
Dynamic fly height technology - Each read-write head's fly height
is adjusted in real time for optimum reliability.
NoTouch ramp load technology - The head never touches
the disk media ensuring significantly less wear to the
head and media as well as better drive protection in transit.
Environmentally responsible - In addition to being RoHS
compliant, these drives are built with halogen reduced
components.
The WD advantage - WD puts our datacenter products through
extensive Functional Integrity Testing (F.I.T) prior to any
product launch. This testing ensures our products consistently
meet the high quality and reliability standards of the WD brand.
Following a FIT test the Enterprise System Group (ESG) testing
validates interoperability with HBAs, operating systems and
drivers to ensure an even greater level of quality, reliability
and peace of mind.
WD also has a detailed Knowledge Base with helpful articles and
software utilities. Our customer support lines have longer
operational hours to ensure you get the help you need when you
need it. Our toll-free customer support lines are here to help or
you can access our WD Support site for additional details.
Self Encrypting Drive (SED) Option - SATA Drive: Optional secure
model for encrypting drives – Utilizing an AES 256 bit encryption
engine for Crypto erase capability, WD supports both industry
standard commands of the Sanitize Feature Set and also the
Security Feature Set which utilizes the Secure Erase Unit (SEU)
enhanced mode bit.*
* SED drives may require TCG-compliant host or controller
support. SED drives may not be available in all countries.
