Western Digital Corp. WD5000ABPS hard drive specifications

WD RE2-GP WD5000ABPS - hard drive - 500 GB - SATA-300

As demand for storage continues to expand, the need for more efficient power solutions becomes paramount. WD RE2-GP makes it possible for large scale data centers to increase storage capacity without exceeding available power, and in many cases actually reduce power consumption. WD RE2-GP drives help combat the four major challenges large data installations face - total drive slots, maximum capacity, power allotment, and available operations expense budget - while lowering the overall total cost of ownership.
