Part Number: HD-WD1000FYPS
Western Digital Caviar RE2 GP WD1000FYPS 1TB 3.5" SATA 3.0Gb/s 5400rpm Internal Hard Disk Drive, 16MB Cache, w/ Green Power Technology
As demand for storage continues to expand, the need for more efficient power solutions becomes paramount. WD RE2-GP makes 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-GP drives 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 cost of ownership.
Features:
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%.
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 to build servers with higher capacities, ensured reliability, and promote 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 saving per year.
IntelliPower: A fine-tuned balance of spin speed, transfer rate, and caching algorithms designed to deliver both significant power savings and solid performance. Additionally, GreenPower drives consume less current during start up allowing more drives to spin up simultaneously resulting in faster system readiness.
IntelliSeek: Calculates optimum seek speeds to lower unnecessary power consumption, noise, and vibration. View demo >
IntelliPark: Delivers lower power consumption by automatically unloading recording heads during idle to reduce aerodynamic drag, and by disengaging read/write channel electronics.
Active Power Management: WD GreenPower drives monitor work load and automatically invoke idle mode whenever possible to further reduce unnecessary power consumption. Drive recovery time from idle mode is less than one second, providing seamless power management between the drive and the host controller.
Perpendicular Magnetic Recording (PMR): Employs PMR technology to achieve even greater areal density.
StableTrac: Secures the motor shaft at both ends to reduce system-induced vibration and stabilize platters for accurate tracking, during read and write operations. (750 GB and 1 TB only)
RAID-specific time-limited error recovery (TLER): Pioneered by WD, this feature prevents drive fallout caused by the extended hard drive error-recovery processes common to desktop drives.
Limited Warranty: One year from invoice date with Directron.com. 5-year from invoice date with manufactory. 30-Day money back from receiving date with 15% restocking fee for non-defective returns on current market price. No credit or refund after 30 days. Customer is responsible for returning defective products including DOA due to manufacturer unless testing is paid before shipping. (dxy012109)
Notes:
(1) Hard drives should be installed by professionals or experienced PC users. (2) This 3.5" hard drive will not fit into most note books. (3) If you intend to install this drive in a 5.25" bay, you'll need a hard drive mounting kit. (4) Most OEM hard drives do not come with installation guide or manual.

Guidelines and Troubleshooting Tips. (5) As used for storage capacity, one megabyte (MB) = one million bytes, one gigabyte (GB) = one billion bytes, and one terabyte (TB) = one trillion bytes. Total accessible capacity varies depending on operating environment. As used for buffer or cache, one megabyte (MB) = 1,048,576 bytes. As used for transfer rate or interface, megabyte per second (MB/s) = one million bytes per second, megabit per second (Mb/s) = one million bits per second, and gigabit per second (Gb/s) = one billion bits per second.
