Enterprise Storage Drive

The Western Digital WD6003FRYZ is a 6TB enterprise-class hard drive built for continuous operation in data centres and storage arrays. It spins at 7200 RPM with a 256MB cache and connects through a SATA 6.0Gb/s interface. The 3.5-inch form factor measures 147.00mm long, 101.60mm wide and 26.10mm high. It is rated for workloads up to 550TB per year.

Build Integration

The drive fits standard 3.5-inch bays and requires a SATA data cable plus a SATA power connector from the host system. Its 2.5M hour MTBF rating and vibration protection technology help maintain data integrity in multi-drive chassis where rotational vibration is present. The SATA interface ensures compatibility with a wide range of controllers and backplanes without proprietary connectors.

Sustained Workload Behaviour

Under sustained load the drive is engineered to handle up to 550TB of data transfers per year, far exceeding typical desktop ratings. Vibration protection electronics monitor and correct linear and rotational vibration in real time to preserve performance consistency. The 7200 RPM spindle speed and 256MB cache support steady throughput for write-intensive applications such as surveillance, archiving and database logging.
