Enterprise Hard Drives
Power-Saving Hard Drives
Reduced Power Consumption
Environmentally Responsible
Lower Cost of Ownership

Interface As demand for storage continues to expand, the need for more efficient power
solutions becomes paramount. WD RE2-GP enterprise SATA hard drives make
it possible for large-scale data centers to increase storage capacity without
SATA exceeding available power, and in many cases actually reducing power
consumption. WD RE2-GP drives help combat the four major challenges large
data installations face--total drive slots, maximum capacity, power allotment, and
Width/Height financial constraints--while lowering the total cost of ownership.

3.5-inch/1-inch
Product Benefits
Reduced power consumption -- The combination of WD's IntelliSeekTM, IntelliParkTM, and
IntelliPowerTM technologies brings optimized performance at industry-leading low power
consumption; power is reduced as much as 40 percent.
Rotational Speed
Helps enable eco-friendly servers -- Each WD RE2-GP drive consumes an average of
4-5 watts less than competitor drives making it possible for energy-conscious customers
IntelliPower to build servers with higher capacities, ensured reliability, and promote energy
conservation.
Lower total cost of ownership -- Large data-hungry financial institutions and web
Capacities service providers can save up to $10 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.
500 GB to 1 TB
Product Features
IntelliPower -- A fine-tuned balance of spin speed, transfer rate, and caching algorithms
designed to deliver both significant power savings and solid performance. Additionally,
Model Numbers GreenPower drives consume less current during start up allowing more drives to spin up
simultaneously resulting in faster system readiness.
WD5000ABPS
IntelliSeek -- Calculates optimum seek speeds to lower unnecessary power
consumption, noise, and vibration.
WD7500AYPS
WD1000FYPS IntelliPark -- Delivers lower power consumption by automatically unloading recording
heads during idle to reduce aerodynamic drag and disengages read/write electronics.
