The WD family of hard drives has a new member. The WD Gold model is designed for busy servers and the data centre segment. The Gold series uses advanced technology to deliver the best results in reliability, energy efficiency and performance. The WD Gold can handle 24/7/365 continuous operation, a workload of up to 550TB per year, and up to 2.5 million MTBF hours. This results in the longest possible service life you can find in disks of this class.
The WD Gold disk uses the latest HelioSeal (helium) storage which allows the disk to achieve better performance, lower power consumption, and greater capacity. All of these features are highly desirable especially in a data centre environment where it reduces total cost of ownership. Additionally, the Gold Series is subject to rigorous testing across a variety of storage systems and various SATA controllers to ensure easy plug-and-play installation.
