RE3 Enterprise 1TB SATA Drive

This Western Digital RE3 WD1002FBYS is a new 1TB desktop internal hard drive built for continuous operation. It spins at 7200RPM with a 32MB cache and connects through a 3.5" SATA 3Gb/s interface. The unit reports zero power-on hours.

Suited For RAID And NAS Builds

This drive suits system builders assembling RAID arrays or NAS appliances that benefit from enterprise-class firmware and vibration tolerance. It is not for buyers who need the faster throughput of a 6Gb/s SATA link or the lower latency of solid-state storage.

3Gb/s SATA Interface Limits Speed

The single specification that decides fit is the 3Gb/s SATA interface, which caps maximum transfer rates below what modern 6Gb/s controllers and SSDs deliver. Verify that your host controller or backplane supports this generation before purchasing.

Questions about this item

How much power and heat does the WD1002FBYS produce when running continuously?

The 7200RPM spindle and 32MB cache draw typical desktop 3.5" SATA power levels; expect normal mechanical-drive warmth during all-day operation.

What connector and controller does the WD1002FBYS need to work?

It requires a standard 3.5" SATA 3Gb/s port and matching data plus power cables from the host system.

Will the WD1002FBYS work alongside older SATA 1.5Gb/s drives on the same controller?

Yes, the SATA 3Gb/s interface negotiates down to 1.5Gb/s automatically, so it shares a controller with legacy drives without extra setup.
