Enterprise Green Products
Ideal for large data centers, web service providers, commercial grade surveillance systems, and organizations requiring huge amounts of storage.
- Power-saving Hard Drives
- Reduced Power Consumption
- Environmentally Responsible
- Lower Cost of Ownership
As demand for storage continues to expand, the need for more efficient power solutions becomes paramount.
WD RE2-GP enterprise SATA drives make it possible for large scale data centers to increase storage capacity without exceeding available power, and in many cases actually reduce power consumption.
WD RE2-GPdrives help combat the four major challenges large data installations face – total drive slots, maximum capacity, power allotment, and available operations expense budget – while lowering the overall total.
“Data storage that doesn’t cost the earth”
- Reduced power consumption – The combination of WD’s IntelliSeek™, IntelliPark™, and IntelliPower™ technologies bring optimized performance at industry-leading low power consumption; power is reduced as much as 40%.
- Eco-friendly servers – Each WD RE2-GP drive reduces drive power consumption an average of 4-5 watts over competitor drives making it possible for our energy-conscious customers to build servers with higher capacities and the right balance of performance, ensured reliability, and energy conservation.
- Lower total cost of ownership – Large data-hungry organizations such as financial institutions and web service providers may realize up to $10 savings per drive per year in electricity costs (U.S.). A large data center with 10,000 drives could realize up to $100,000 in savings per year.
- 24x7 reliability – With 1.2 million hours MTBF, these drives have the highest available reliability rating on a high-capacity drive.
