Product Features

• Energy efficient - Reduced media spin lowers power consumption and optimizes the drive's read/write ratio for the rigid requirements of cold storage systems.
• With 700PB's of cold storage deployed in datacenters already, WD's 4th generation WD Ae drive utilizes innovative technology to reduce power consumption and lower operating temperature, which results in a more reliable solution for data archives.
• Cost-effective capacity storage - Moving cold data to value-optimized archive media delivers significant TCO savings by freeing up expensive performance-critical storage system capacity.
• As technology and manufacturing processes mature, incremental capacity increases are realized. WD's innovative Progressive Capacity model allows distribution of these incrementally higher capacity models, taking advantage of their full capacity.
• Cold data power management - Competitive power management, reduced heat output, and next generation technologies such as Intelli Seek combine to deliver a balance of performance and power perfect for cold data archive storage architectures.
• The spin-down capability of the WD Ae drive provides much faster access times than conventional archive tape with data access times of less than 20 seconds for on-demand data requests.
• A head-positioning system with two actuators improves positional accuracy over the data track(s). The primary actuator provides coarse displacement, the secondary actuator fine tunes the head positioning to a higher degree of accuracy.
• 24x7 dedicated customer support - Every WD Ae hard drive comes with our world-class professional support services including a dedicated 24x7 support line (available in English, other regional support hours vary) and a 3-year limited warranty.
