Learn About Enterprise Drive RAID Configuration Support


WD Enterprise Hard Drives (UltraStar and WD Gold) have been tested for:

  • 24x7 RAID arrays
  • Compatibility with RAID controllers
  • Harsher and higher temperature setups

WD Enterprise Hard Drives contain the features:

  • TLER to better avoid RAID timeouts.
  • RAFF sensors to handle the vibration induced in multi-drive chassis.

These features are not present in WD Desktop Hard Drives (WD Green, Blue, Black, and Red).
Desktop drives should only be used in RAID 0 or RAID 1.
