* As used for storage capacity, 1TB = one trillion bytes. Actual user
capacity may be less, depending on operating environment.
 Up to 1.5M MTBF for 8TB, 10TB, 12TB and 14TB capacities (up to
1.0M MTBF for lower capacities). MTBF specifications are based
upon internal testing using a 40°C base casting temperature. MTBF
is based on a sample population and is estimated by statistical
measurements and acceleration algorithms. MTBF does not predict
an individual drive’s reliability and does not constitute a warranty.
 For capacities 4TB and higher.
 As of April 2018
 Not all products may be available in all regions of the world.
AAs used for storage capacity, 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
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 detail.
WD hard drive products manufactured and sold worldwide
after June 8, 2011, meet or exceed Restriction of Hazardous
Substances (RoHS) compliance requirements as mandated by
the RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU.
 Non-recoverable read errors per bits read.
Workload Rate is defined as the amount of user data transferred
to or from the hard drive. Workload Rate is annualized (TB
transferred x (8760 / recorded power-on hours)). Workload Rate
will vary depending on your hardware and software components
and configurations.
