It offers a wide range of internal and external hard drives that cater to the needs of individuals, businesses, and enterprises. One of its flagship products is the Western Digital WD202KRYZ Wd Gold 20TB 7200RPM SATA-6GBPS 512MB Buffer Internal Enterprise Class Hard Disk Drive. This article aims to provide a detailed explanation of this product.
The Western Digital WD202KRYZ Wd Gold 20TB 7200RPM SATA-6GBPS 512MB Buffer Internal Enterprise Class Hard Disk Drive is a high-capacity hard drive designed for use in data centers and enterprise storage systems. It boasts a storage capacity of 20 terabytes (TB), making it one of the largest hard drives available in the market. The drive spins at 7200 rotations per minute (RPM), which is the standard for enterprise-class hard drives. This ensures fast data transfer rates and quick access to stored data.
Interface and BufferThe Western Digital WD202KRYZ Wd Gold 20TB hard drive uses a Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) interface to connect to the motherboard of a computer. The SATA interface is a popular type of interface that has been widely adopted in the computer industry. It offers high data transfer rates of up to 6 gigabits per second (Gbps), which is six times faster than the older Parallel ATA (PATA) interface.
The hard drive is equipped with a 512-megabyte (MB) buffer, also known as a cache. The buffer is a temporary storage area that is used to hold frequently accessed data. When a computer requests data from the hard drive, the drive first checks the buffer to see if the data is already stored there. If it is, the data is retrieved from the buffer, which is much faster than accessing the data from the disk platters. This results in faster data transfer rates and improved overall performance.
Enterprise-ClassThe Western Digital WD202KRYZ Wd Gold 20TB hard drive is classified as an enterprise-class hard drive. This means that it is designed for use in mission-critical applications where reliability and performance are paramount. Enterprise-class hard drives are built to withstand heavy workloads and are optimized for 24/7 operation. They also come with features such as error-correcting code (ECC) and vibration sensors, which ensure data integrity and prevent data loss.
ReliabilityThe Western Digital WD202KRYZ Wd Gold 20TB hard drive is built with reliability in mind. It comes with a mean time between failures (MTBF) rating of 2.5 million hours, which means that the drive is expected to operate for an average of 2.5 million hours before failing. This is an impressive rating, considering that the average hard drive lasts for about 500,000 to 1 million hours. The drive also comes with a five-year limited warranty, which provides additional peace of mind to customers.
CompatibilityThe Western Digital WD202KRYZ Wd Gold 20TB hard drive is compatible with a wide range of operating systems, including Windows, macOS, and Linux. It also works seamlessly with various types of storage systems, such as direct-attached storage (DAS), network-attached storage (NAS), and storage area network (SAN). This makes it a versatile and flexible option for enterprise customers.
Summary, the Western Digital WD202KRYZ Wd Gold 20TB 7200RPM SATA-6GBPS 512MB Buffer Internal Enterprise Class Hard Disk Drive is a high-capacity hard drive designed for use in data centers and enterprise storage systems.
