Leading the Way

Energy Assisted Magnetic Recording (EAMR) technology enables higher media precision and increases areal density. The Triple State Actuator (TSA) enhances the accuracy of head-positioning and delivers better performance and data integrity to also increase areal density. Both technologies are available only in 16TB¹ capacities and above.

5-Year Limited Warranty

Every WD Gold^™ HDD comes with a 5-year limited warranty, so you can be confident in your storage.

1. As used for storage capacity, one terabyte (TB) = one trillion bytes. Total accessible capacity varies depending on operating environment.

2. Workload Rate is defined as the amount of user data transferred to or from the hard drive. Workload Rate is annualized (TB transferred X (8760 / recorded power-on hours)). Workload Rate will vary depending on your hardware and software components and configurations.
