24x7 RAID applications, and include features like enhanced RAFF technology and thermal extended burn-in testing.
WD Desktop Mainstream hard drives are not recommended for and are not warranted for use in RAID environments

As used for storage capacity, one megabyte (MB) = one million bytes, one gigabyte (GB) = one billion
bytes, and one terabyte (TB) = one trillion bytes. Total accessible capacity varies depending on
operating environment. As used for buffer or cache, one megabyte (MB) = 1,048,576 bytes. As used for
transfer rate or interface, megabyte per second (MB/s) = one million bytes per second, and gigabit per
second (Gb/s) = one billion bits per second. Effective maximum SATA 6 Gb/s or 1.5 Gb/s transfer rate
calculated according to the Serial ATA specification published by the SATA-IO organization as of the
date of this specification sheet. Visit www.sata-io.org for details.
