Enterprise SATA Hard Drive

The Western Digital WD6004FRYZ is a 6TB 3.5-inch internal hard drive built for enterprise storage systems and data centres. It spins at 7200 RPM with a 256MB cache and connects through a SATA 6.0Gb/s interface. The drive carries a 2.5M-hour MTBF rating and a 5-year limited warranty.

Suited For High-Capacity Arrays

This drive suits IT managers who need reliable bulk storage for servers, NAS units or RAID arrays that run continuous workloads. Buyers needing solid-state speed or a different interface protocol should choose a different technology. The 26.1mm z-height fits standard enterprise drive bays.

SATA 6.0Gb/s Interface Decides Fit

The single specification that decides compatibility is the SATA 6.0Gb/s interface. Your host controller or backplane must support this exact interface for the drive to function. No other connection type will work with this unit.

Questions about this item

Does the WD6004FRYZ ship with mounting screws or a SATA data cable, or must they be purchased separately?

The drive is supplied in retail or OEM packaging that may vary. Mounting screws and a SATA data cable are not included and must be bought separately.

How do I decide between the 6TB WD6004FRYZ and higher capacities in the Gold series?

Choose the 6TB model when your workload fits within 6TB and you want the 7200 RPM speed, 256MB cache, and 2.5M hour MTBF of the Gold line; step up to larger Gold drives only if you need more raw capacity.

What does the 7200 RPM rating mean for actual throughput in a desktop or server?

The 7200 RPM spindle combined with the SATA 6.0Gb/s interface and 256MB cache delivers sustained transfer rates suitable for enterprise workloads such as databases, virtualization, and RAID arrays.
