The Western Digital Gold hard drive at a glance:
- Suitable for data centers, entry-level servers & high-end enterprise storage systems
- Developed for high workloads up to 550 TB per year
- Huge 3.5-inch disk with 10 TB capacity
- Extremely reliable thanks to 2 million hours of MTBF
- 7,200 rpm / 256 MB cache / SATA 6G
- Extensively tested for compatibility
- Efficient vibration protection
- Dual actuator technology
- Professional 3.5-inch data carrier for extreme loads

The type designation "Gold" of this WD hard disk already suggests that it is a particularly select data carrier. This assumption is confirmed as soon as you take a look at the intended use: The Gold series was developed for use in demanding data centers, entry-level servers or high-end enterprise storage systems. Reliability, energy efficiency and performance come first in such areas of application and this is where the Western Digital Gold shines!

The hard disk presented here has a storage capacity of 10 terabytes, has a large cache of 256 MB, runs at up to 7,200 revolutions per minute and is connected via the SATA-6G interface. It can achieve a workload of up to 550 TB per year, which is one of the highest load capacities of 3.5-inch data carriers.

With a data throughput rate of 262 MB / s, data is transferred from or to Western Digital Gold very quickly. The power consumption remains comfortably low at 9.2 W in operation and 8.0 W when idle, especially when you consider which useful features ensure high reliability. For example, the rotation height of each read and write head is dynamically adjusted and readjusted in real time. Supported by the dual actuator technology, which improves the position accuracy over the data tracks using a head positioning system with two actuators, extremely high reliability can be achieved. This is why Western Digital also advertises this hard drive with a very high mean life (MTBF) of 2 million hours.

Of course, all Western Digital Gold hard drives are extensively tested for compatibility with the most common OEM storage systems, SATA controllers and host bus adapters, so that uncomplicated integration as a plug'n'play solution can be ensured.
