Enhanced Reliability
With up to 2.5M hours MTBF3, WD Gold hard drives deliver enhanced levels of dependability and durability.
Reimagining the HDD
WD Gold offers 20TB on a 9 disk CMR drive with reimagined HDDs utilizing the first implementation of OptiNAND™ technology's capacity-enabling features.?
Vibration Protection
WD Gold has sophisticated monitoring electronics that help correct linear and rotational vibrations in real time using enhanced vibration protection technology for improved performance in high-vibration environments.
Play Well with Others
Broadly compatible with most PC and major enterprise operating systems. Specifically designed for use in enterprise-grade data centers and storage systems.
Leading the Way
Energy-assisted magnetic recording (EAMR) technology enables higher media precision and increases areal density. The triple-stage actuator (TSA) enhances the accuracy of head-positioning and delivers better performance and data integrity to also increase areal density. Both EAMR and TSA are available only in 16TB capacities and above.
