Western Digital has introduced a new data centre hard drive with high-capacity and low power consumption. The WD Re+ hard drive family is the newest component of WD’s portfolio that further got expanded with 6TB capacities for WD’s popular Re and Se product lines.
The WD Re+ drive provides the most power efficient and high-intensity high-capacity platform available today, it only consumes 6 watts for 6 TB. The WD Re+ hard drive family features a dense five-platter platform, which renders an optimal mix of low power consumption, high-capacity, 24 x 7 x 365-reliability and affordability.
“Dollars and watts are the finite currencies in the modern datacenter,” said Matt Rutledge, senior vice president of storage technology at WD. “With a leading watt-per-gigabyte ratio and the long-trusted reliability of the WD Re hard drive platform, WD Re+ offers our customers having limited power budgets a WD Re-class choice for tier-2, high-intensity storage applications. Massive, scale-out deployments must deliver tremendous value to customers across a range of applications, while providing a healthy return to the infrastructure owner. WD is focused on offering that value across its portfolio.”
The drives have a 1.2m hours MTTF and enhanced RAFF technology to increase vibration tolerance. The reliability rating of 550 TB-per-year workload is the highest of any WD 3.5-inch hard drive.
The new Re+ drives have started to ship and should be available shortly while the WD Re and Se 6TB model will be available next quarter. The Re+ drives are also covered by a five-year warranty
