2 Terrabyte hard drive

Distributor Drive Control Corporation (DCC) today announced that it is delivering Western Digital’s (WD) next-generation 2 Terabyte (TB) capacity enterprise hard drive, the largest and only 2 TB enterprise-class hard drive currently available.

Combining 64 Megabyte (MB) cache, dual processors, and increased areal density, WD RE4-GP hard drives yield twice the processing power resulting in as much as 25 percent performance improvement over the previous generation.
 
Says Vassen Naicker, WD Product Specialist at Drive Control Corporation in South Africa: “Energy efficiency is still a key issue at present and WD’s GreenPower technology platform is the first 3.5-inch hard drive platform designed with power savings as the primary attribute. These drives reduce average drive power consumption by up to 50 percent over currently available competitors’ drives and are ultra-cool and quiet, all while delivering solid performance.”
 
The WD RE4-GP 2 TB hard drive provides enterprise-class reliability and is reliability-rated at 1.2 million hours MTBF (mean time before failure) in high duty cycle environments.
