The new "red" WD's drives

Red line of hard drives WD e oriented network data repositories (known by its abrevieturata NAS).

 

Recently the company Western Digital has released a new product line WD Red Pro, which is designed for the upper class, network data repositories. Despite the name and the red color of the label it has nothing to do with the well known old series RED. Ppu it already spindle rotates at 7200 rev / min, so you need to get higher performance. Of course, this is at the expense of increased energy consumption and reduced heat.

In the consumer segment HDD disks WD ce enjoy wide popularity, as they have less energy, generate less heat and are relatively quiet while offering a good price / performance ratio.The Intel Pro e oriented higher proizvoditenost, speed of vpingela is increased collaboration supports up to 16 disk drives in the NAS.The new series of WD Red Pro ce available in several models, the difference between them is the amount of data storage.

The interface for communication Red Pro series is SATA 6 Gb / s, a volume of cache - 64MB. Series has increased hardware performance and vibration resistance. For this purpose, applied technologies, such as Stable Trac attachment shaft power. Engine by both parties and 3D Active Balance P1us to reduce vibration and noise.Also WD Red Pro uses multiple RAFF (Rotary Acceleration Feed Forward), axial impact detection sensors, rotary and linear vibration.

It is also used u No touch technology for minimizing the likelihood of contact between the heads and the surface of the discs during shutdown of the disc. Because of the improved algorithm for repayment of vibration discs Red Pro can now be used in systems with up to 16 pieces HDD drives.Like other "red" disc, Pro are based on technology NASware 3.0 and 3D Active Balance P1us to automatically adjust the heads read / write.
