Hard disk drives are today's fastest permanent storage media and have a large capacity. For this two reasons they are the most used storage medium in computers and servers. When buying a new hard disk, there are three important things to consider: - The connection of the disk to the computer or other device you will be using it with has a big influence on the speed with which data can be read from/written to the disk. Make sure the connection of the disk you buy is compatible with your computer! - The rotational speed is also important for the speed with which data can be read from/written to the disk and determines the time it takes to find a file on the disk. - Last but not least, the storage capacity of the disk, i.e. the amount of data that can be stored on the disk.

Most of our avid readers of course have at least one SSD in their desktop and laptop, but for large volume storage you're still relegated to conventional hard disks. It's almost become a negative connotation - 'conventional' - and it really doesn't do t...

The WD Re (WD4000FYYZ) comes in both 6Gb/s and 3Gb/s SATA and SAS flavors in a 7,200 RPM 3.5" form factor. The Re is geared for heavy workload environments in the datacenter, including RAID arrays, external storage arrays, data warehousing and data minin...
Bottom line The WD Re addresses the need for bulk storage of cold data, and brings many enterprise-class features to ensure data integrity. The inclusion of both SAS and SATA standards, and at 6Gb/s and 3Gb/s for good measure, allows the implementation of these HDD'...

Western Digital may have faced adversity throughout the last year but if the new RE 4TB is any indication, they are back with a vengeance. This drive is geared towards the enterprise market segment and is one of the largest capacity HDDs around but ha...
Bottom line Let us preface this summary by saying that Western Digital’s RE 4TB can’t be approached like it is a mass market drive that’s supposed to cater to larger retail market. While it can be used in any number of situations, enterprise clients are the ultima...

The WD RE 4TB drive is specifically meant to handle an enterprise workload, but don’t let that scare you off, as it includes a desktop-friendly SATA 6Gb/s interface. As long as you’re running Windows Vista or Windows 7, you should be able to format it...
Good Lots of storage; semiaffordable; fast.
Bad Not 1TB per platter; 3x cost of 3TB drive.

In 2012, Western Digital made changes to both its product-line naming schemes and also how it presents itself as a company. Changes so small, so subtle, that even I didn't clue in until long after the fact.For starters, when talking about the company's pr...

While SSDs are by now the unquestioned performance kings when it comes to storage, their capacities are still too low and cost-per-gigabyte still too high for them to displace hard drives completely. While SSDs continue to improve at a meteoric rate...
Bottom line As the benchmarks show, the WD WD4000FYYZ RE is a solid performer. Partitioning it on our test system was no challenge, though its unusually large capacity might cause problems if you intend to use it with an older NAS. Four terabytes is a huge amount...

The last Western Digital RE drive we tested was the 2 TB Western Digital RE4-GP. It was a lower-powered version that ran at a fixed spindle speed between 5,400 and 7,200 RPM (Western Digital refused to disclose the exact spindle speed), with a SATA 3...

When considering a new storage solution, most users try to find the right balance between speed and capacity. SSDs are super fast, no doubt about it, but an HDD spinning at 7200RPM or 10,000RPM will still offer solid performance, and you have access to...

Bottom line On the whole, the WD RE 4TB SATA hard drive is a champ. It delivers strong performance, and it packs plenty of features to ensure reliability and endurance that are backed up by WD's excellent 5-year warranty, which is a number which will offer confidence...

The Western Digital RAID Edition line of hard drives has been around for some time now, and has largely impressed us with each subsequent release. Since the launches of the RE4-GP and later, the faster spinning RE4, WD's enterprise line had been cap...
Good Outstanding sequential read and write speeds, File performance approaching 10,000 RPM VelociRaptor in some areas, 5Year warranty with 24/7 support hotline, 1,200,000 hour MTBF (1,000,000 for WD Red Series)...
Bad Not yet available in a 'GP' series (unknown if this will happen), Different tuning might effect some workloads negatively (compared to prior gen RE4).
Bottom line After perhaps a longer than expected wait, Western Digital has released a 4TB hard disk in the form of its new RE series. RE drives have always carried a 'faster' track geometry than their consumer units, and this same case applies here. A heavier hea...

We first became aware of Western Digital's RE4 Enterprise Storage hard drives while parts checking a 1U Dell R310 server back in 2011 - an "Enterprise Storage" SATA drive seemed a curious object.... but before we get into the specs of the 1.0TB WD RE4 dri...
Bottom line File CopyingFor this test a single 8.5GB file is copied from an OCZ Vertex 2 SSD system disk to the test disk (write to), from the test disk to the OCZ Vertex 2 SSD (read from), and from the test disk to itself (read and write to self). While this test is...
