Western Digital RE RAID Edition 250GB SATA 7200RPM  Hard Drive w/ 16MB Cache

The best combination of high-reliability and high-capacity, combined with a 5-year limited warranty make these the perfect solution for your enterprise storage needs.

Product summary:

Life in a desktop computer doesn't compare to the extreme environment in an always-on, high duty cycle RAID system. What's needed is a drive engineered to thrive in a high-intensity RAID system while still offering traditional low cost-per-capacity desktop value. That drive is the WD RE. Designed and manufactured to enterprise-class standards, WD RE drives provide enhanced reliability in a 24x7, continuous duty cycle environment

Key Features:

Reliability in high duty cycle environments - Utilizing enterprise-class manufacturing processes, these drives are designed with enhanced reliability in a 24x7, high duty cycle environment.

Built to last - Made for years of high-performance operation around the clock. Reliability demonstration testing indicates a mean time between failure (MTBF) of one million hours.

RAID-specific time limited error recovery - Improves error handling coordination with RAID adapters and prevents drive fallout caused by extended drive error-recovery processes.

Fluid dynamic bearing (FDB) motor - Improves hard drive reliability; reduces heat, vibration, and noise.

Improved power controller - Consumes less power and generates low heat.

Data Lifeguard Tools^TM - Software utility that works in conjunction with the embedded Data Lifeguard^TM features (including shock protection, an environmental protection system, and embedded error detection and repair features) to make hard drive installation, management, and diagnostics simple and worry-free.

FlexPower^TM - Connector technology that accepts power from either industry-standard or new SATA power supplies.

Hot plug support - Allows swapping of hard drives without having to power down the system or reboot; promotes system design flexibility, data availability, and serviceability.

Backplane compatibility - Uses the SATA industry standard connector which includes alignment ears and 3-stage electrical mating sequence, designed specifically for backplanes and hot pluggability.

SATA latching connector - Provides a secure connection between the hard drive and the cable connector via a locking latch mechanism.
