Enterprise 6 TB SATA drive

The Western Digital WD6002FRYZ is a 3.5-inch internal hard drive built for enterprise servers and storage systems. It delivers 6 TB of capacity on a SATA 6.0Gb/s interface with a 7200 RPM spindle and 128 MB cache. The drive is rated for 24x7x365 operation and a 550 TB yearly workload. Its 2.5 million hour MTBF targets high-reliability environments.

Upgrade from lower-workload drives

This model replaces consumer or entry-level drives that lack the 550 TB per year workload rating and the enhanced vibration protection. The jump is worth it when your array writes heavily every day and you need the sustained throughput of a 7200 RPM platform with HelioSeal technology. It also supersedes older enterprise drives that do not reach the 2.5 million hour MTBF figure.

Check bay height and controller compatibility

Verify that your chassis accepts a 26.10 mm drive height and that your backplane or HBA supports SATA 6.0Gb/s. The bare-drive packaging means no mounting screws or cables are included. Confirm your power supply provides the standard 3.5-inch SATA power connector before ordering.
