Product Benefits

Industry’s highest capacity nearline drive

Massive capacities up to 4 TB suit even the most demanding datacenter or cloud storage needs.

Designed for heavy application workloads

Designed to handle up to 550 TB per year in any heavy application datacenter with the highest workload capabilities of any WD 3.5 hard drive. Up to 6 Gb/s transfer rates and sustained sequential data rates of up to 182 MB/s, deliver performance and reliability to any datacenter environment.

Designed for quality and reliability

With up to 1.4 million hour MTBF, this high performance drive delivers durability and the highest level of reliability for 24x7x365 operation in the most demanding storage environments.

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.

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. (2 TB and above)

Environmentally responsible

In addition to being RoHS compliant, these drives are built with halogen reduced components.

Self Encrypting Drive (SED) option

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.*

StableTrac™

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.

*SED drives may require TCG-compliant host or controller support. SED drives may not be available in all countries.

RAID-specific, time-limited error recovery (TLER)

Prevents drive fallout caused by the extended hard drive error-recovery processes common to desktop drives.

NoTouch™ ramp load technology

The recording head never touches the disk media ensuring significantly less wear to the recording head and media as well as better drive protection in transit.

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.

Dual processor

Twice the processing power to maximize performance.

Applications

High-performance computing, high-reliability cloud storage, RAID arrays, high-availability external storage arrays, data warehousing and mining.

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.

WD5003ABYZ, WD3000FYYZ, WD4001FYYGSP, WD2000FYYZ, WD4000FYYZ specifications

Western Digital has long been a leading name in data storage solutions, and their range of hard drives exemplifies reliability, performance, and advanced technology. Among their notable products are the WD4001FYYGSP, WD2503ABYZ, WD3000FYYZ, WD4000FYYZ, and WD200MFYYZ hard drives.

The WD4001FYYGSP, part of the WD Gold series, is engineered for data centers and enterprise applications. With a storage capacity of 4TB, this drive features advanced technology such as 7200 RPM spindle speed, making it one of the fastest options available for environments where high data throughput is essential. It includes support for error recovery features and vibration tolerance technology, allowing it to perform reliably under heavy workloads.

Next, the WD2503ABYZ drive offers a lower capacity of 2.5TB and is also designed for enterprise use. Its 7200 RPM speed and SATA 6 Gb/s interface ensure rapid data access and transfer rates. With features such as dual actuator technology, the WD2503ABYZ delivers improved positional accuracy and performance, making it ideal for applications requiring high efficiency.

The WD3000FYYZ hard drive, another member of the enterprise family, provides a 3TB capacity with similar 7200 RPM performance. Its robust design is aimed at maintaining operational performance in demanding environments. The drive supports high levels of data integrity and includes extensive error recovery features.

Meanwhile, the WD4000FYYZ also caters to enterprise users with a significantly larger 4TB capacity. Like its counterparts, it operates at 7200 RPM and is equipped with a SATA interface for optimal data transfer. It is particularly suitable for data-intensive applications such as cloud storage and big data analytics, offering sustained performance under rigorous conditions.

Finally, the WD200MFYYZ is a more compact option, boasting a 2TB capacity. Designed primarily for specific applications where space is at a premium, this drive still incorporates a 7200 RPM speed. Its power-efficient design helps reduce overall operational costs while maintaining the integrity and speed that Western Digital drives are known for.

Collectively, these drives feature advanced technologies such as IntelliSeek, which optimizes the seek speeds to reduce power consumption, and data lifeguard diagnostics for proactive monitoring of drive health. Western Digital's strong emphasis on quality, performance, and durability makes these drives ideal choices for both enterprise and professional users who require high-performance data storage solutions.
