Western Digital Showcase

Designed for High Density and Flexibility
The Ultrastar Data60 is a key element of next‑generation disaggregated storage and software-defined storage (SDS) systems, delivering high density and the flexibility to balance performance with cost. The Ultrastar Data60 provides up to 840TB¹ of raw storage in a compact and efficient form factor. Western Digital HelioSeal® drives ensure cool running, quiet operation and high reliability. A high-performance data tier can be set up for demanding applications by using SSDs in up to 24 of the drive slots, enabling the ability to serve both fast data and big data from a single platform.

Compassion between SAN and NAS

WD SAN requires a combination of servers and storage over a high speed, low latency using Fibre Channel, available in 16 Gb/s to 32 Gb/s. An Ethernet network such as 10Gb or 40Gb+ using protocols such as FCoE and iSCSI.interconnects SAN. It is an expansive shared data storage solution for big enterprises providing extremely fast data access.

However, for a small office set-up, NAS is the best option. WD NAS offers various features at a relatively lesser cost. The self-contained solutions are easy to manage with local TCP/IP Ethernet networks, typically 1GbE to 10GbE. It provides a central place to back up or sync user files to the cloud with no failure-tolerant storage.

HD HDDs are available for PC, laptops , data centers, and servers depending upon their storage capacity that can store data in TBs (as high as 10-24TBs). Manufactured with RAMP Load Technology, WD HDDs consume less power and can be easily upgraded to the high configuration are available with auto bad sector removal facility to increase the lifespan of the drive. Support broadband Wi-FI connection, WINDOWS/ MAC OS, and gaming applications. Built-in encrypted hardware security makes HDDs reliable for data storage.

Solid-state drives feature a non-mechanical design of NAND flash mounted to circuit boards, shock resistant up to 1500g, SATA support, easy fit, more susceptible, and tuned to work fast. Low power consumption, silent operations, higher durability, energy–efficient SSDs ranging from GB to TBs storage capacity can run the most advanced gaming and AI applications.

WD SSDs are enabled with PCIe 3.0 NVMe interface, M.2 form factor, and sequential read operation that make them compatible to work with other drives.

Developed using Hello Seal Technology are energy efficient devices with zero tolerance and noise. With up to 2.5M hours MTBF, the WD data center drives set a new benchmark. Triple State Actuator (TSA) enhances the accuracy of head-positioning and delivers better performance and data integrity. The drives can be available with various features as per the need for cloud storage.

The SSD provides sequential reads of up to 530 MB/s and sequential writes of up to 310 MB/s to offer faster boot times and faster access to your data than a traditional spinning hard drive. The drive has a rugged surface and is water/dust-resistant(1) (IP55-rated). They offer greater durability with compact pocket size. The USB3.0 compatibility is included with hardware/ software support. San Disk is a global brand and upgrading to SanDisk SSD will improve the PC or laptop performance as SLC caching boosts the write operations speed. The drive is efficient to run with advanced PCs that are used to run high speed and gaming applications.

Easy backup and upgrade facility for supporting big applications like gaming, ML  WD Edition software, available as a free download that helps in taking backup. Designed to work for a longer period, the drives can be easily upgraded, SATA III enabled drives to have a data transfer speed of up to 150MB/s/ Available in 3.5 inch size and are suitable to be attached with all types of motherboards. Dynamic cache allows it to work with other drives efficiently.

These password-protected drives have a sturdy construction and protective enclosure that make them perfect to carry anywhere. You can use them with Windows/MAC PCs, desktops, and laptops. It works smoothly with Android devices, Xbox, and PS4 consoles.

WD external drives are available with lesser seek times, higher data transfer rates, error correction codes, and bigger cache and can support data center usage.
